AI Strategic Architecture: Intelligent PDTI
Executive Summary
A large corporation in the multimodal logistics sector faced a fragmented technological architecture scenario, with systems organized in silos isolated by business domain. This model resulted in parallel software acquisitions, lack of standardization, and an IT operational cost reaching R$200 million annually in OPEX.
The main pain point was the inability to connect critical information between areas: the commercial area was unaware of the logistics network's real capacity, directly impacting the company's revenue. The lack of communication between systems and the absence of a unified view compromised strategic decision-making.
The solution was to build an Information Technology Master Plan (PDTI) powered by artificial intelligence, using the Genius platform with specialized AI agents to analyze massive documentation, map business domains, and propose a rational and integrated architecture.
The result: a projection of drastic OPEX reduction, elimination of redundant systems, agility in decision-making, and the transformation of IT from a cost center into a competitive advantage — with a strategic vision for the next 10 years.
The Challenge
The organization operated with a consolidated corporate architecture, in which systems were segmented by business domains that functioned in complete isolation. This scenario generated a series of interconnected problems that compromised the company's operational efficiency and competitive capacity.
Data silos and disconnected systems: Business domains operated in total isolation, preventing critical information from flowing between areas. The commercial area, for example, had no visibility into the actual capacity of the logistics network, directly impacting revenue.
Technological bloat and high OPEX: Parallel and uncoordinated software procurement resulted in redundant systems, manual integration layers, and parallel spreadsheets, generating an operational cost of R$200 million annually.
Absence of a centralized view of the IT ecosystem: There was no unified mapping of systems, their dependencies, and redundancies, making it impossible to prioritize investments rationally.
Slow decision-making dependent on external consulting: Return on investment analysis and contractual risk assessment required months of manual work, delaying strategic decisions.
The Solution
The approach adopted combined Integral Design with specialized AI agents from the Genius platform, interpreting the complexity of the multimodal logistics chain and converting it into continuous tactical planning. The methodology ensured that the PDTI was not a static document, but a “living” ecosystem that evolves annually.
Genius in action: Intelligent PDTI with Rational Architecture
Phase 1 — Holistic Discovery
The discovery phase used artificial intelligence to conduct a deep immersion in multiple volumes of unstructured documents and data, overcoming understanding barriers in record time.
Automatic analysis of documents and spreadsheets: Mapping of the biggest pain points in 12 central domains — supplies, maintenance, information technology, and operations — identifying previously invisible bottlenecks.
Technical and business triangulation: Cross-referencing the technical view with the real needs of business areas, ensuring that the future architecture proposal (To-Be) was lean and oriented towards financial results.
Phase 2 — Design and Architecture
Based on the discovery, the target architecture was developed, comparing scenarios of maintaining current systems versus migrating to more efficient market solutions.
Visual As-Is Mapping: Clear identification of redundancies and inefficiencies in the current system structure.
To-Be Structuring and Value Flow: Proposal of a simplified architecture with detailed cost-benefit analysis for each domain.
Phase 3 — Strategic Prioritization and Action Plan
Artificial intelligence was applied to materialize the value of each investment, enabling the company's top management to make informed decisions.
AI-powered investment prioritization: Clear executive view that allowed pivoting investments, pausing projects without value, and focusing on high-impact initiatives, such as replacing redundant systems.
Decommissioning plan: Well-founded recommendation to shut down obsolete systems, reducing long-term license and maintenance costs.
Multimodal and systemic view: Extraction of essential information from the entire chain, from the port to the end customer, ensuring complete integration.
Results
The application of the Genius platform transformed the organization's IT vision, moving from a cost center model to a strategic asset that drives the business. The results include cost reduction, agility in decision-making, and mitigation of million-dollar risks.
Lean architecture and cost reduction: Elimination of redundant systems and consolidation of databases, with a projected drastic reduction in OPEX from R$200 million annually, removing manual integration layers.
Agility in decision-making: What previously required months of external consulting was accelerated by AI, providing precise data for ROI calculation in just 3 to 4 years.
Mitigation of million-dollar risks: AI agents applied in critical areas, such as legal, demonstrated the potential to validate thousands of contracts in months, protecting against fines due to lack of risk analysis.
Commercial efficiency and scalability: Integration of databases providing visibility to the sales team, with the creation of a unique and orchestrated AI platform for future automations with security.
