Is Your IT Landscape Built to Support the Level of Digital Transformation You Need?

Having managed through the disruption of Covid-19, many business leaders are keenly aware of the need for accelerated digital transformation across their organizations – for example, so they can provide consistent, quality customer experiences (CX). Many faltered on the CX front due to fragmented line-of-business (LOB) systems and manual processes that made it even harder to respond and adapt to:

• Supply chain disruptions such as suppliers going out of business, transportation issues, or border closures
• Manufacturing disruptions, which resulted in plants not operating in full capacity
• Finance issues such as not having real-time insights into operations and cash flow and the ability to predict future risk
• HR challenges such as equipping and managing large numbers of people working from home for extended periods

Too often, IT departments were not able to help LOBs respond to these and other emerging scenarios due to reliance on legacy ERP systems that lacked essential cloud and digital capabilities. And ultimately, businesses were not able to pivot and adapt to provide seamless, digital-first customer experiences.

In contrast, companies that had already moved core business IT systems (such as their ERP) to the cloud had greater agility, the ability to pivot to remote working and people management without impacting core processes, and the ability to deploy scalable, cloud-based customer experiences that kept their businesses running and even thriving.

In a post-Covid-19 world, digital transformation has become an imperative

So, it’s no surprise that companies are looking to implement intelligent ERP solutions from SAP that provide real-time insights driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning, predictive capabilities, and intelligent automation.

The problem is, these transformation initiatives are typically complex, take time to implement, and are expensive. Success requires working with SAP and its strategic implementation partners who have proven industry and technology expertise in implementing the right SAP solutions and offer tools and accelerators to reduce risk and optimize costs.
