Case Study: Elkjøp modernizes retail IT and improves collaboration with Ardoq

Elkjøp streamlines 200+ applications with Ardoq

The Nordic electronics retailer Elkjøp faced stiff competition from online retailers and needed to modernize its IT landscape to improve agility and meet evolving customer demands. Their challenge was to gain a clear overview of a complex application portfolio with over 200 systems, understand the business impact of IT changes, and enhance collaboration across the organization to control the scope of its transformation. To address this, Elkjøp partnered with the vendor Ardoq to utilize its enterprise architecture platform for Application Portfolio Management and Business Capability Modeling.

Ardoq provided the solution by enabling Elkjøp to map its application landscape and business capabilities, creating transparency and a common language for both business and IT stakeholders. This empowered agile product teams, ensured alignment with governance, and facilitated a successful roadmapping process. As a result, Elkjøp achieved a clearer view of its roadmaps for change, greater organizational transparency, and data-driven analysis of initiatives. Ardoq also helped streamline dialogue with their owner, Currys, by creating a common ground for technology sharing discussions.
