Why assess your systems architecture?
A comprehensive systems assessment is essential for social housing organisations to ensure the optimal performance, security, and efficiency of their IT infrastructure.
All technology deteriorates over time, and even if your organisation invested into a system that was sound at the time of purchase, software can become dated or misused over time.
A well-structured and secure IT environment is crucial for delivering essential services to tenants, managing properties effectively, and maintaining compliance with regulatory standards.
How assessing your systems can help
A systems assessment can help your organisation identify vulnerabilities and risks, optimise performance, enhance security, improve compliance and reduce costs. It can also help with your strategic planning, future-proofing your IT infrastructure.
We’ve worked with many social housing organisations who have struggled with legacy systems, finding workarounds or bolting on more and more fixes to keep it going. Sometimes it’s a training or implementation issue, other times a system upgrade is enough, and sometimes it needs replacing. From speaking with you and your team, then assessing your current system and how it’s used, we’ll provide assurance on the system you have or report back on what will work better for your organisation.
The outcome
A systems assessment will help you clearly identify whether the system you have in place is suitable for your organisation and its goals.
If you decide to partner with us, your systems assessment might look like this:
