E-Commerce – Change-Readiness Assessment
You want to take your e-commerce platform to the next level. We show you where the real risks lie – and how you can deliver faster without compromising quality or stability.
Motivation
Every change to your e-commerce platform feels risky. Releases cause tension, minor adjustments have unexpectedly large side effects. Dependencies, integrations, and quality gaps slow down your development — yet there is no clarity about where the actual risks lie. This assessment creates transparency before uncertainty becomes a real business risk.
"Anyone who doesn't know where their e-commerce system is fragile cannot develop it safely."
Günter Glasauer, QA Expert
Your Challenges
As Head of E-Commerce or CIO, you need to enable change without losing control over risks. Yet dependencies, integrations, and quality issues are often only vaguely perceptible — not tangible.
Where are our greatest change risks — and why do they keep recurring?
Why do our releases take so long, even though QA processes exist?
Can we still develop this system safely at all?
Then make use of our consulting package "E-Commerce – Change Readiness Assessment".
Consulting Package "Change Readiness Assessment"
As part of our consulting package, we address the following aspects on your behalf:
Clarify objectives & understand the change context: We capture upcoming changes and decisions, identify business-critical core processes, and name current uncertainties — as the foundation for all further steps.
Create transparency around risks & testability: We develop a system and integration map of your e-commerce core processes and analyze how well changes are currently covered from a testing perspective — across system boundaries, with a focus on effectiveness rather than tooling.
Comprehensive documentation of results: You receive a testability & QA architecture overview, a risk heatmap of core processes, and a change readiness score as a reliable basis for your investment decisions.
The individual steps
Step 1 – Kickoff & Goal Clarification
We jointly clarify priorities, upcoming decisions, and current uncertainties. You define which core processes are business-critical.
Step 2 – System & Integration Map
We provide a structured overview of ERP systems, PIMS, CRMs, shop, OMS, and middleware – including key integrations and mapping to your core e-commerce processes.
Step 3 – Analysis of the QA Architecture
In targeted interviews, we assess the effectiveness of your current testing processes and document the current state of QA measures across all relevant systems.
Step 4 – Risk Analysis Along the Core Processes
Stakeholder interviews provide us with an assessment of the criticality and controllability of the core processes at a technical level – fully documented as a basis for step 5.
Step 5 – Change Readiness & Deriving Priorities
We consolidate all findings into a Change Readiness Score, document the top risks, and prioritize them according to urgency and need for action.
Step 6 – Executive Summary & Decision Dialog
We present the results, discuss their significance for your roadmap, and support you in prioritizing risks and planning the next investment steps.
