Why structured IT steering pays off

Lack of prioritisation costs more than a steering tool.

Without a clear assessment basis, IT investments are decided by urgency instead of impact. The result: budgets flow into symptom relief instead of strategic leverage.

Traceable decisions speed up approvals.

When IT initiatives are documented with impact, risk, and priority, approval cycles and coordination loops become shorter.

We will show you in the initial call what the business case can look like for your setup.

You get an initial view of which decision logic, prioritisation, and management-ready preparation create the strongest leverage for your situation.

Frequently asked questions

What does ARVANIS cost exactly?

Foundation starts at 6,900 EUR / year*, Professional at 12,900 EUR / year*. Enterprise is calculated as an individual quote. Onboarding starts at 1,490 EUR one-time* and is mandatory in year one for Foundation and Professional.

Why is Enterprise available on request only?

Enterprise is scoped based on your organisational structure, number of units, and the support model required. That is why there is no fixed public list price.

Is onboarding mandatory?

In year one, onboarding is mandatory for Foundation and Professional and starts at 1,490 EUR one-time*. For Enterprise, onboarding scope is aligned individually depending on the package setup.

Can we start with Foundation and upgrade later?

Yes. A change from Foundation to Professional or Enterprise is possible as soon as your governance needs or organizational complexity increase.

Is ARVANIS a compliance tool?

No. ARVANIS is a platform for IT steering, prioritisation, and management decisions. Compliance requirements can be structured within it, but they are not the sole focus.

What company size is ARVANIS designed for?

ARVANIS is designed for organisations with 50 to 3,000 employees.

How quickly can we start?

In most cases, we can start within 2 to 4 weeks after alignment on package, onboarding scope, and key contacts.

When is Foundation sufficient?

Foundation is suitable for Mittelstand companies with 50–249 employees that want a structured entry into IT maturity assessment and prioritisation without needing the full feature set immediately.

Why is onboarding mandatory?

Onboarding ensures that the platform is configured correctly from the start and that the team begins in a structured way. It is not a support product, but part of the result: first management-ready view in 2–3 weeks.

What is not a use case for ARVANIS?

Pure compliance documentation without steering ambition, one-off audits without repetition, corporations with their own enterprise architecture team.

When is Enterprise the right fit?

Enterprise is aimed at companies from around 1,500 employees or enterprise groups that want to manage and compare maturity levels across multiple companies.

How long until the first management output?

Usually 2–3 weeks after onboarding is completed.
