OrbusInfinity has enabled us to identify technological obsolescence that had previously gone unnoticed, helping us prioritize projects and address critical weaknesses in our IT landscape. It is central to our asset and IT management strategy, providing a global view of our systems and empowering us to govern our architecture with certainty and precision.
The Challenge
Generali’s Architecture team – responsible for aligning technology with business strategy, driving innovation, and ensuring operational efficiency – faced mounting challenges:
- Technical debt: Legacy systems created inefficiencies andhindered innovation.
- Technology obsolescence: Outdated applications posed risks tobusiness continuity and scalability.
- Regulatory compliance: DORA introduced strict requirements for IT governance, asset inventory management, as well as incident, problem, andchange management.
The team needed a platform to provide a portfolio-wide view of IT assets, streamline decision-making, prioritize projects, and meet evolving compliance demands.
The Solution
Generali replaced its previous EA tool with OrbusInfinity to empower its Architecture team with advanced enterprise transformation capabilities:
- Ease of adoption: Intuitive interface, seamless external integrations, and alignment with Microsoft tools accelerated time to value.
- Enhanced DORA compliance: Extended the asset inventory model with 30new attributes per application, enabling structured data collection and improved management of vulnerabilities, compliance, and risk analysis.
- Holistic IT visibility: A cloud-based platform replaced fragmented processes, delivering end-to-end transparency for lifecycle management, technical debt resolution, and governance.
The Result
Generali’s strategic use of OrbusInfinity enabled the team to:
- Optimize technology spend: Provided a portfolio-wide view of over 110 business applications, associated more than 120 projects with technological components, and identified 20% of applications for decommissioning.
- Strengthen resilience and regulatory compliance: Simplified adherence to DORA requirements by enriching asset inventory data and providing structured data collection for SaaS apps managed directly by business units.
- Enhance governance: Transitioned from individual knowledge-based management to data-driven architecture governance.
- Improve collaboration: Defined architectural KPIs and shared insights across the organization, fostering greater transparency and alignment.
