Improved Change Impact Assessment with Automation & a Digital Overview
- Connecting IT landscape to the business
- Getting a clear overview of application portfolio
- Understanding the business impact of changes
Through 2025, TINE is undergoing a digital transformation project unlike anything that the company has experienced. The importance of enterprise architecture to strategic success is palpable through the processes, organization, and technology on which the project is reliant. In order to achieve a successful transformation, TINE needs to understand where they are and where they need to be.
The entire chain of production involves and requires human capital management. Data and information have been stored in many different systems. Many different variables impact the value chain, from the taste of a product to its product and sustainability. TINE’s project model, which uses five decision points, is steered by IT. It was created to improve predictability and minimize extra costs.
Understanding the Business Impact of Changes
- No clear overview of applications - Incomplete picture of IT landscape, integrations, and responsibilities
- Unpredictable change impacts - No clear way to assess the effects on business areas

TINE
TINE SA is Norway's largest producer, distributor, and exporter of dairy products. With 11,400 members and 9,000 cooperative farms, it aims to become an innovative and adaptive food producer, distributor, and branding company by 2025.
To achieve this, TINE needed more strategic decision-making processes and change impact assessments for business processes. This required big changes to their IT landscape, so they required a comprehensive overview of their IT systems and how these systems interact with each other as well as users.
