Designing the digital future for a newspaper media giant
Navigating the shift to digital subscription management
The context
A venerated international media organisation, with over 140 years of history, recognised that the demand for online media meant modernising its digital subscription capabilities was critical.
Recognising our leading expertise in media and digital subscription, they turned to Alyve. We were engaged to help them navigate this complex challenge, align stakeholders with diverse perspectives and needs, and lead them through a sophisticated technology solution selection process.
Our approach
Our expertise and capabilities meant we rapidly built trusted relationships and an evidence-based narrative for the future. Our approach was supported by robust analysis comprising business requirements, user stories, current and target technology architectures, and a blueprint which provided a pathway that showed how the business will move from today’s reality into tomorrow. The quality of our work rapidly aligned stakeholders on the approach and provided the basis for the technology selection process.
Leveraging Alyve's proprietary procurement methodology, selected vendors were engaged through a very specific process that ensured we could rapidly determine which vendor was best placed to meet the client’s needs over the long term. Our approach reduced the time to selection and informed the development of a pragmatic implementation plan and business case.
The results
Our project and consultation methodology ensured that all stakeholders remained engaged throughout the program. This resulted in a clear, traceable, and fully supported final vendor selection.
We achieved consistently high levels of engagement across business stakeholders, providing certainty that the selected vendor was the right choice, and achieved an uncommon level of business confidence in a complex IT project.
