Business strategy
A strategy powered by data
IT is an essential part of well-functioning business processes. It runs through the very core of many organizations. And the continuity of your business processes is essential. At SIENN, we help you transform business critical applications into sustainable online solutions. Because that’s what truly matters.
Do you want more efficient business processes? Lower costs? Or room to innovate? Then you need a strong business strategy that is supported and strengthened by IT and a well-defined enterprise data analytics strategy. We also understand that moving away from existing, trusted systems can feel like a big step. You want business continuity and you cannot afford to lose valuable data during the transition. At SIENN, we understand that concern. That’s why we always take a thorough approach, backed by over 20 years of experience and deep expertise in specific industries.
Strategy & Design
Building sustainable business growth together
With the right business intelligence and the right automation in place, you enable business growth. Building software is becoming easier. But the need for strong business knowledge and a deep understanding of software logic is more important than ever.
That’s why at SIENN, we focus on long-term, close collaboration. So we can truly understand your processes. See how everything connects. Identify the critical factors. And turn data into meaningful insights through data-driven strategy consulting. This allows us to determine what is technically required to achieve your goals and drive business growth. That is why you always work with a dedicated SIENN Business Consultant. They stand by your side, supporting you in making decisions, providing insights, executing, and successfully completing the project.
"SIENN has developed exactly what we wanted to develop all along.

– Exact
What do you do when you want to upgrade your business-critical products and move them to the cloud? And what if that process isn’t running smoothly or quickly with your current vendors? That’s where SIENN comes in. Exact wanted to break through several development barriers to achieve a fully digitalized financial process. Together with SIENN, they got to work. The solution: a web application that provides financial insight and access to customer profiles.
“With SIENN, we share an idea and receive a well-thought-out solution plan in return. Our partnership with SIENN goes beyond simply adding extra hands. It’s about working together on real solutions. We collaborate with Product Owners who regularly work from our office and actively contribute to the functionality we want to develop. They come up with the right solutions for our customers, bring forward improvements they see in the market, and advise and support us throughout the product development process. That allows us to innovate quickly with skilled professionals who truly understand our challenges and contribute strategically. The SIENN Business Consultant is a fully integrated member of our team. SIENN consistently finds the right people for the right roles.”

The elements of a good business strategy
At SIENN, we work with Event Storming. It’s a fast way to map processes, events, and relationships within a business domain, forming a clear business domain model.
This shows how different parts of your organization work together and create value. It clarifies your business processes, the data you use, and how they interact. It’s essential for developing systems that align with your business needs and support a broader data analytics strategy. Through this model, we make the complexity of your operations transparent. It forms the foundation for the software that supports them.
The business domain model we create for your organization consists of four elements:
Entities: the key objects or concepts within a domain.
Attributes: the characteristics or properties that describe each entity.
Relationships: how entities are connected to one another.
Processes or behaviors: how entities change or interact over time.
An SLA for long-term partnership
You know better than anyone that a successful business strategy is dynamic and adapts to change. It is essential that your IT systems remain flexible and evolve alongside shifting strategies and new security requirements.
That is why you can enter into a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with SIENN. This contractual agreement between us defines the performance criteria and service levels we guarantee to deliver. It ensures clarity and transparency about what you can expect from us in terms of service and support. We define concrete objectives, such as response times in case of incidents and system availability.
Implement a powerful IT strategy
A strong IT strategy forms the backbone of business growth today. At SIENN, we don’t just deliver technological solutions, we integrate them into focused, goal-driven strategies. We develop tailor-made solutions and help align your IT strategy with your business objectives for maximum impact.
We do this with:
Bespoke and smart building blocks
Sometimes custom-built solutions are required. Other times, existing software already provides the right fit.
Data analysis techniques and artificial intelligence
For example, we use these to identify inefficiencies in business processes and optimize performance.
Sustainable software development
With a strong focus on (energy) efficiency, reducing the impact of both the development phase and end use.
Transparency and insightful reporting
We monitor and report on efforts and performance, both internally and to stakeholders.
Measuring and evaluating performance
Measuring and evaluating performance is crucial to assess the effectiveness of your business strategy. And if you want to do that properly, you use Business Intelligence (BI).
BI allows you to collect, analyze, and present business information in order to make data-driven decisions, similar to the approach of a data strategy company. Through data collection, data integration, data analysis, reporting, and data visualization, SIENN helps you improve your business performance. We work with advanced analytics tools to track KPIs, measure performance, and provide actionable insights. This forms the foundation for continuous improvement.
Guide your team with a clear project roadmap to success
A clear project roadmap is essential for successfully implementing your business strategy. It not only provides an overview of the steps required for execution, but also includes a detailed timeline with key milestones. This enables realistic planning and clear expectations. It also serves as a communication tool, keeping all stakeholders informed about progress.
A roadmap supports effective resource management by outlining the human and material resources required. By identifying potential risks and challenges, it enables proactive risk management and offers the flexibility to adapt the project to changing circumstances. It also helps define roles and responsibilities, which is crucial for streamlined execution. A roadmap forms the foundation for continuous evaluation and improvement throughout implementation. SIENN supports your organization in developing detailed project plans with clear milestones and deadlines. This helps teams stay focused, measure progress, and make timely adjustments when needed.
Strategic planning at SIENN
At SIENN, you always receive a tailor-made solution that aligns specifically with your needs, requirements, and preferences. Built on a robust Microsoft foundation and structured around six core areas: Program Management, Teams, Templates, Controlling, Communication, and Methodology.

We work with you to stay in control, supported by a steering committee, daily stand-ups, and regular reporting.
