Requirements specification
Developing requirements documentation through sparring
Elo wanted to invest in clear and consistent requirements documentation, and the analysis of the current state and future direction required an external perspective. As a long-term partner, Reflector proposed joint sparring sessions where Elo’s business analysts, product owner, enterprise architect, and project manager could develop documentation practices together—in a practical manner and closely aligned with the business.

Using AI tools in requirements specification
LähiTapiola’s business analysts participated in training that introduced them to the AI features of Confluence and Jira tools. Reflector’s Ali Zahabi guided participants in a practical manner on leveraging AI in requirements management.
Requirements specification
Development model analysis
The client had a technology project that was not progressing as planned. The testing phase had extended and, consequently, the production deployment had been delayed. The client lacked sufficient technical expertise and methodological knowledge to identify the underlying causes of these problems. The client sought assistance from a neutral party to analyze the situation and provide an external opinion on whether the implementation could be moved to production.

Architecture
COBOL system conversion to Java
Visma Aquila’s core system had been built on COBOL since the early 1990s. Over the decades, developing the system had become laborious, COBOL experts were retiring, and business agility was under threat. A major conversion project was needed to translate over a million lines of business logic code into Java in a controlled manner without production outages.

Architecture
Enterprise architecture modeling
The client’s enterprise architecture description had deteriorated. Architecture descriptions had been created using different tools and had not been linked together. The overall picture of information systems and supporting infrastructure was outdated and incomplete. A new, systematic approach was needed to model the whole so that essential elements could be documented. At the same time, the model content needed to be brought up to date.
Architecture
ERP procurement support
The client was renewing their ERP systems. Strategy-driven requirements specification had already been conducted together with a technology vendor.
The client also wanted a vendor-independent perspective and support in the ERP system selection process. The client had considerable expertise of their own, but wanted to balance the workload and obtain an external perspective to validate and also challenge their own decisions.
Architecture
Change management analysis
As the business grew and expanded, our client’s operations faced various change pressures due to acquisitions, operational efficiency improvements, and scaling. The company wanted to test enterprise architecture modeling methods in business development and brought us into this work.
The client’s objective was to understand the impact of different change drivers on their business. The client was also interested in adopting enterprise architecture development as a methodology in their organization so they could manage change more effectively themselves.
