Capability 04

Strategy & Consulting

We combine strategic depth with real execution power – underpinned by international project experience across EMEA, APAC and the US. For regulated industries such as banking, insurance, chemicals/industry and the public sector, we design IT strategies that convince the board and work on the ground.

Overview

Why strategic consulting?

IT transformations rarely fail because of technology – they fail because of unclear target pictures, missing governance and business cases nobody can defend anymore. That is precisely where we step in.

Vetrexa develops IT strategies that connect: to the business strategy, to regulatory requirements and to the technological reality of your organisation. We think in target architectures, roadmaps and measurable outcomes – not in slideware.

Our consultants bring more than two decades of project experience in global corporate structures. We have set up operating models for international chemical and industrial groups, guided multi-cloud migrations in banking and implemented digitalisation strategies in the public sector. That experience is our foundation – your strategic clarity is the outcome.

Approach

Our approach.

Four clearly defined phases – from baseline assessment to a robust roadmap.

    Baseline assessment: analysis of the current architecture, processes, governance and regulatory starting point.

  2. Design

    Design of the target architecture and operating model – aligned with business and IT stakeholders.

  3. Business Case

    Quantification of benefits, costs, risks and break-even – board-ready and traceable.

  4. Roadmap

    Prioritised delivery roadmap with milestones, dependencies and a clear governance model.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ – Strategy & Consulting.

Answers to the questions clients regularly ask us.

How does Vetrexa calculate the ROI of IT transformations?

We work with a structured business-case model comprising a cost baseline, benefit scenarios (both quantitative and qualitative), sensitivity analysis and a break-even calculation. This is complemented by KPIs such as TCO reduction, time-to-market, process cycle time and risk reduction – prepared transparently and ready for board-level discussion.

What makes a good operating model?

A resilient operating model connects strategy, processes, roles, governance and technology into a scalable target architecture. It harmonises standards across EMEA, APAC and the US, defines clear decision paths and strikes the right balance between central steering and local delivery strength.

Do you support cloud-first strategies?

Yes. We design cloud target architectures for Azure and AWS – from landing zones through multi-cloud governance to the migration roadmap. In doing so we address regulatory requirements (DORA, MaRisk, BAIT) and integrate IAM, data sovereignty and FinOps as core building blocks.

Which governance frameworks do you use?

We work in a framework-agnostic way and select what fits: COBIT for IT governance, NIST CSF and ISO 27001 for cyber security, TOGAF for enterprise architecture, and MaRisk, BAIT and DORA for the regulated financial sector. Frameworks are never applied dogmatically – always in the context of your organisation.

Strategy that holds. Delivery that works.
