Today companies have to innovate faster to compete with market disruptors; and IT is the main tool to enable it. However business challenges put high demand on IT systems and create an IT Delivery Gap. To cross this gap organisations have to embark on a Digital Transformation Journey.

Digital transformation implies four main steps: Legacy Modernisation, Insightful Connectivity, Connectivity Fabric and Composable Enterprise.

Step 1. Legacy Modernisation

Get the edge and gain agility
For businesses that are willing to transform and gain agility – legacy modernisation is a first step to success. It reduces technical debt, unlocks data silos and enables connectivity across multiple backend systems resulting in higher efficiency and delivery on immediate business requirements.

• Decouple from backend systems
• Reduce IT debt
• Integrate legacy systems
• Use legacy systems in new, innovative ways

Step 2. Insightful Connectivity

Use insights to deliver on business goals
By escalating connectivity beyond back end systems to customers and partners through multiple endpoints and apps – an organisation creates the opportunity to collect unique insights into business operations and customers behaviour. These insights and connections reveal limitless opportunities to enhance the customer experience, open up new monetisation channels and improve business processes.

• Get insights and enhance customer experiences
• 360° customer view
• 360° employee view
• Utilise API’s to build for the future

Step 3. Connectivity Fabric

Gain control over mission critical IT
In order to facilitate business development, rather than anchor any innovation it is vital to gain control over all your IT systems and applications, on premise and in the cloud to ensure seamless connectivity and compliance in all workflows of business critical processes. Once a connectivity fabric is in place – business can move forward fast, open up new markets and distribution channels, integrate with customers and partners directly without creating monster IT systems and building further technical debt in the process.

• Ensure seamless connectivity & governance across multiple systems, technologies, interfaces & IoT
• Implement intelligent information management
• Enable Omnichannel
• Build open API’s

Step 4. Composable Enterprise

Implement your vision with business centric IT
Composable enterprise is a vision of a future proof and self-sufficient IT system that gets your business ahead of the curve. It is about building a business centric IT, where each building block is easily replaced, or re-used depending on changing needs of the business and about connectivity beyond the boundaries of your organisation. This helps organizations innovate faster, while allowing teams to focus on business requirements rather than solving technical IT challenges.

• Implement C4E
• Orient on self service
• Implement holistic systems’ governance
• Manage internal and open API’s exchange
• Become part of an applications network
