Submission Evaluation Automation
THE PROBLEM
A national government entity issued 40+ technology submissions per year, each requiring assessment against 200+ structured requirements. The manual process consumed 6-8 weeks per cycle, required senior technical resource, produced inconsistent scoring, and left incomplete audit trails.
THE SOLUTION
Stravix deployed an AI-assisted evaluation system. The requirement register was encoded into a machine-readable standard. Vendor submissions were automatically scored against each requirement. Reviewers received pre-populated scorecards with evidence citations and gap analysis, reducing their role from manual scoring to validation and expert judgement on edge cases.
OUTCOME
- Evaluation cycle reduced from 6-8 weeks to 10-14 days.
- Scoring consistency improved across all reviewers.
- Full audit trail with traceable evidence for every assessment decision.
- Senior technical resource freed for strategic architecture work.
Architecture Governance at Scale
THE PROBLEM
A major real estate developer managing giga-scale projects had an application estate of 150+ systems with no structured governance. Application data was scattered across spreadsheets, vendor documentation, and individual knowledge. The CIO could not produce a reliable view of technology risk, dependency, or cost allocation.
THE SOLUTION
Stravix established a full enterprise architecture governance practice: Technical Design Authority process, Architecture Review Board cadence, and a living application landscape platform. A structured requirement framework (369 requirements across seven domains) was operationalised as the assurance baseline. EA1 was deployed as the central catalogue and governance tool, delivering AI-assisted risk scoring and executive dashboards.
OUTCOME
- Complete, governed application landscape with integration mapping.
- TOGAF-aligned risk scoring operational across the full estate.
- Executive dashboards answering CIO-level questions in real time.
- Structured requirements integrated into every new vendor procurement.
AI-Driven Vendor Response Assessment
THE PROBLEM
An enterprise procurement team evaluating three competing vendors for a major platform acquisition faced 80+ page proposals per vendor, 204 applicable requirements, and a four-week manual evaluation process producing inconsistent results across a six-person committee.
THE SOLUTION
Stravix built an assessment engine. The 204 applicable requirements were extracted using an automated selection engine based on the procurement profile. Each vendor submission was processed through an AI pipeline producing requirement-by-requirement scores with evidence citations. The committee received structured dashboards comparing all three vendors across every domain.
OUTCOME
- Assessment completed in 5 working days instead of 4 weeks.
- Multi-vendor comparison dashboards with domain-level drill-down.
- Every score backed by traceable vendor evidence.
- Committee effort redirected from data gathering to strategic evaluation.
Digital Transformation Validation
THE PROBLEM
A national health authority had a digital transformation programme spanning 12 clinical systems, 8 administrative platforms, and 3 national registries. Eighteen months in: no target-state architecture, no structured integration plan, and vendor selection decisions being made on incomplete technical assessments.
THE SOLUTION
Stravix injected architecture rigour into the programme. We produced target-state architecture anchored to clinical workflows, designed an integration strategy using enterprise-grade patterns, and built a vendor evaluation framework grounded in programme-specific requirements. The full landscape was modelled in EA1, giving leadership a living view of current state, target state, and transition dependencies.
OUTCOME
- Target-state architecture completed and approved within 8 weeks.
- Three vendor selections completed using structured assessment.
- Integration dependencies identified and sequenced before implementation.
- Programme moved from reactive to governed delivery within one quarter.
Standards Alignment for National Infrastructure
THE PROBLEM
A government infrastructure body was rolling out a national digital platform across 14 regional offices. Each office had selected technology independently, resulting in 6 different CRM platforms, 4 document management systems, and no common integration standards. The programme had no mechanism to validate that new acquisitions met national technology standards.
THE SOLUTION
Stravix designed and deployed a standards alignment framework covering architecture, security, integration, and operational requirements. The framework was encoded as a machine-readable evaluation standard and integrated into the procurement process. Every new acquisition was assessed against the national baseline before approval, with AI-assisted gap analysis identifying remediation actions.
OUTCOME
- National technology standard adopted across all 14 offices.
- New acquisitions validated against 280+ requirements before approval.
- Platform consolidation roadmap reducing 6 CRMs to 2 within 18 months.
- Annual IT operating cost projected to fall by 30% post-consolidation.
