Today’s Challenge for Corporations:

Transformation Readiness and Agility

Why is transformation readiness a critical success factor for your business and your IT?

Global competition, continuous technological change and rapidly growing demands drive markets through increasingly shorter cycles of change.

What sounds promising today can already be outdated tomorrow. To ensure competitive advantages in global markets, corporations have to review their business strategy periodically and be ready to adapt it to changing conditions. When change comes, global leaders have to rethink and act fast.

The speed of transformation can determine a company’s success and future viability. If your IT landscape is agile enough to enable rapid and effi cient change processes then your business transfor-mation projects can be successful.

Over time ERP landscapes have grown to become unmanageable thus changing the nature of ERP projects from implementations to landscape transformations.

From a business point of view, transformation projects are among the most critical, complex and expensive programs that impact your organization and your process design.
