AGILE TRANSFORMATION
Managing business transformation to deliver strategic agility
A term used by management consultants is that ‘the movie of history is speeding up!’
Discontinuous markets and business environments where many private and public sector
organizations now operate, are changing rapidly and in different ways.
• This paper seeks to explore ICT-based business transformation towards 2020 and in
trying to better understand this concept, it is important to establish that there is no
‘best way’ to set about change, but there are ways to make it happen.
• Moreover, transformation is unique, presenting distinct opportunities and challenges.
While there are a number of ways in which executives can seek to better understand
how they can engage in business transformation, the true measure of success, is in the
nature of its implementation.
• Even in organizations where there is a universal recognition that business
transformation is important and responses are implemented first, performance may still
suffer due to human factors.
• This ‘syndrome’, which is common in organizations, has been described as ‘active
inertia’, can be characterized as an organization's inability to take appropriate action
in the face of shifting market and business changes.
Optimizing Paper workflows helps the bigger picture
Most leaders are aware that successful ICT-based business transformation programs, are
generally founded upon changing employee behavior, changing thinking, and changing
perceptions of needed ICT spending affecting how work related activity is performed.
One overall call to action is that businesses need to incorporate a change from Paper to
Digital to Smart platforms in their business
strategies.
Estimated to be predominantly completed by
2020, this transformation happens in the
course of a few years, and needs careful
planning.
Investments in new technology can be
gradually shifted from the old platform to the
new, minimizing capital outlay.
BIG CHANGES AHEAD
Rapidly Changing Business Platforms require full attention
Today ICT investments are predominantly procured in a RFP process, often deeply founded
in regulatory requirements to ensure that items are procured at the lowest unit price, or total
price for the bundled RFP request.
In transformation to the future, one of the most important activities is to control unnecessary
spending. By 2020 businesses are supposed to be converted to the “New Way of IT” and the
associated spending, and one of the ways to invest in the 3rd platform is to spend wisely in the
2nd platform where there is lots of overspending and underutilization of assets. Very often there
is no link between business shift and related procurement shift.

ENOUGH INITIATIVES?
Where is your business on the transformation journey?
Not considering Assessing Started Completed One initiative
Completed Several
initiatives
Most companies get the vision right, but the execution is the hard part: more than half of
companies undertaking transformation fail to achieve the desired business result. Pixel will
help you release cash, to re-invest in any other project you may have.
With Pixel Smart Advisor you can save and transform
When four or five significant drivers are changing at the same time, the business environment
becomes highly complex, add to that the as the life spans of existing technologies and trends
continue to shorten, organizations need to respond with flexible solutions they can adapt to the
next development, while releasing the current.

REDUCE CASH SPEND
Do you have an eye on the cash you spend in the back-end?
An example of the rapid transformation that has come from Pixel’s vast experience, was the
2014 launch of Pixel Smart Advisor, a cloud based management platform, which totally
eliminates the need to manage any existing paper based infrastructure.
In other words, any new procurement decisions can be made solely using Data Driven
Business Intelligence and Return On Investment analytics which helps releasing capital
spending for investment in new Digital and Smart areas.

OUR TRANSFORMATION
We focus squarely on improving clients’ bottom line
In 2014 Pixel announced an investment designed to aggressively accelerate its shift from a
provider of technology in a predominantly transactional business model, to encompass a
services business model as a key growth strategy, building upon its core foundation of
industry-leading hardware and software technologies combined in IT-related services.
To advance this shift, Pixel invested significantly in its capability matrix and associated
infrastructure, underscoring the company's commitment to its continued partnership with its
clients, helping them to grow their bottom line through effective document management,
improved workflow and increased productivity in the new business models.
Data Driven Business Intelligence leading to Business Agility
To ensure that current paper based budgets are constantly managed and actively
benchmarked against ROI, Pixel has developed its cloud technologies automating spending
and management of this area, allowing funds to be transferred to invest in the Digital and
Smart areas.
One reason why things are changing and you need to change too, is that Pixel as an online
firm can automate the process of RFP and rightsizing, in other words checking that the
business needs are constantly monitored and closely tied with the spending. Relations with
providers can be established differently and enhanced and fundamentally changing away from
procurement to business outcome.
Procurement workflows have traditionally used discounts and total cost of ownership
considerations, and focus on catalogue pricing, few have determined whether an individual
request for procurement is worthy or not, or even necessary.
Pixel is now a predictive analytics firm, gathering masses of data about utilization, rightsizing
and current costs which it uses to re-calculate tangible depositions of spending and
optimization, helping our clients to release cash and transform.
