Preliminary technical study
The preliminary technical study provides clarity before major investments or implementation decisions are made.
It serves to check assumptions, make risks visible and assess the technical feasibility of a project on a sound basis.
The focus is not on the implementation itself, but on the question: Is the planned approach realistic, sensible and sustainable?
Who is the Preliminary Technical Study intended for?
before a concrete implementation decision is made.
want to clarify technical uncertainties or open architectural questions.
have to evaluate several solution options.
want to understand risks, dependencies and expenses at an early stage.
What is being investigated as part of the preliminary technical study
The preliminary technical study looks at the planned solution from a technical, organizational and operational perspective.
Analysis of the existing system landscape
- Recording of relevant systems, interfaces and dependencies
- Evaluation of integration options and technical restrictions
- Identification of risks and framework conditions
Evaluation of technical solutions
- Analysis of possible architecture variants
- Assessment of technology options and integration paths
- Consideration of scalability, maintainability and operation
Derivation of recommendations for action
- Assessment of implementation risks and complexity
- Recommendation of a suitable process model
- Preparation of a sound basis for decision-making
Result of the preliminary technical study
-
a reliable assessment of the technical feasibility
-
Clarity about opportunities, risks and dependencies
-
a well-founded recommendation for further action
-
a solid basis for planning, tendering or implementation
