Pro\u00adduc\u00adtiv\u00adi\u00adty and com\u00adpet\u00adi\u00adtive advan\u00adtage are achieved through tech\u00adno\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal inno\u00adva\u00adtions. Com\u00adpa\u00adnies\u2019 oper\u00ada\u00adtional envi\u00adron\u00adments are con\u00adstant\u00adly chang\u00ading to more diverse and net\u00adworked direc\u00adtion. Dif\u00adfer\u00adent tech\u00adnolo\u00adgies\u2019 ecosys\u00adtems are often close to each oth\u00ader, even over\u00adlap\u00adping as it is not ratio\u00adnal to keep the data in dif\u00adfer\u00adent siloes. Inte\u00adgra\u00adtion needs grow con\u00adstant\u00adly and for exam\u00adple the core in IoT is that sev\u00ader\u00adal devices and appli\u00adca\u00adtions com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adcate togeth\u00ader. Dif\u00adfer\u00adent tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy ecosys\u00adtems and the col\u00adlab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtion between their solu\u00adtion providers is the key for the suc\u00adcess of orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtions\u2019 dig\u00adi\u00adtal trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion. In prac\u00adtice, this is at an ear\u00adly stage, but the direc\u00adtion is right.<\/p>\n
It is pos\u00adi\u00adtive that ICT is not any\u00admore seen as a closed inter\u00adnal envi\u00adron\u00adment but rather vast enti\u00adty that con\u00adsists of dif\u00adfer\u00adent inte\u00adgrat\u00aded ecosys\u00adtems. This change is major for IT as it cre\u00adates promi\u00adnent pos\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty to work more tight\u00adly with busi\u00adness oper\u00ada\u00adtions on the most impor\u00adtant strate\u00adgi\u00adcal pri\u00ador\u00adi\u00adties and begs to take a role as the lead\u00ading part\u00adner in busi\u00adness transformation.<\/p>\n
My back\u00adground is with two large ecosys\u00adtems, Microsoft and SAP<\/a><\/strong>. I see two oppo\u00adsite trends hap\u00adpen\u00ading simul\u00adta\u00adne\u00adous\u00adly \u2013 tech\u00adno\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal worlds are merg\u00ading but at the same time spe\u00adcial\u00adists and part\u00adners work\u00ading in dif\u00adfer\u00adent ecosys\u00adtems are pub\u00adlish\u00ading blogs and news that are not in line what clients want and need in real\u00adi\u00adty. Empha\u00adsiz\u00ading only one\u2019s own excel\u00adlence blinds clients for achiev\u00ading the best solu\u00adtion. I have read plen\u00adty of releas\u00ades that have poignant com\u00adments on chal\u00adleng\u00ading enter\u00adprise resource plan\u00adning (ERP) projects down\u00adgrad\u00ading com\u00adpet\u00ading tech\u00adnolo\u00adgies. The real\u00adi\u00adty is that usu\u00adal\u00adly the author does not have any expe\u00adri\u00adence in the tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy in ques\u00adtion or its capa\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties nor even the referred cases.<\/p>\n That opin\u00adion\u00adat\u00aded com\u00adment\u00ading is only based on hearsay, old ways of think\u00ading or out\u00addat\u00aded phras\u00ades. The real\u00adi\u00adty is some\u00adthing else. Here in the North, how many of us knows for exam\u00adple about SAP Busi\u00adness ByDe\u00adsign<\/a><\/strong> (ByD)? SAP ByD is a cloud-based solu\u00adtion and with its stan\u00addard\u00adized process\u00ades it cov\u00aders wide\u00adly dif\u00adfer\u00adent parts of ERP from finance to project man\u00adage\u00adment and from HR to sales and pro\u00adduc\u00adtion. It is a great choice for medi\u00adum-sized com\u00adpa\u00adnies look\u00ading for inte\u00adgrat\u00aded end-to-end ERP solu\u00adtion, next gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion mobile user expe\u00adri\u00adence as well as agile and rapid project exe\u00adcu\u00adtion. Being cloud-based enables busi\u00adness users to make adap\u00adta\u00adtions them\u00adselves and the solu\u00adtion will update reg\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly in every three months. Tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy debt will not grow along the years. The fastest ByD imple\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion is done in 28 days. Same goes for SAP new gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion S\/4HANA<\/a><\/strong> solu\u00adtion where the short\u00adest con\u00adver\u00adsions are made with\u00adin 3\u2009\u2013\u20094 months.<\/p>\n Tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy indus\u00adtry will cer\u00adtain\u00adly be shaped by break\u00adthrough col\u00adlab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtions that cre\u00adate new ways of work\u00ading more pro\u00adduc\u00adtive\u00adly, cost-effi\u00adcient\u00adly and in mod\u00adern-way in what comes to tra\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal plat\u00adforms, appli\u00adca\u00adtions and tech\u00adnolo\u00adgies. Large tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy providers can best cre\u00adate togeth\u00ader the end-user expe\u00adri\u00adence that is based on con\u00adstant\u00adly chang\u00ading needs and agile deliv\u00adery meth\u00adods. It is delight\u00ading to see how for exam\u00adple SAP and Microsoft con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00adous\u00adly deep\u00aden their coop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion. To men\u00adtion one exam\u00adple, mak\u00ading it pos\u00adsi\u00adble to run SAP S\/4HANA solu\u00adtion on Microsoft Azure cloud. We, at ISLET, are also cur\u00adrent\u00adly con\u00advert\u00ading our SAP ERP sys\u00adtem to SAP S\/4HANA on Microsoft Azure. We also pro\u00advide our clients inno\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive and cost-effi\u00adcient paths to SAP S\/4HANA.<\/p>\n Our clients do not care with what tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy the devel\u00adop\u00adment is made. What mat\u00adters to them is if the solu\u00adtion is right fit for customer\u2019s needs now and, in the future, and what is the life cycle of cho\u00adsen tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy. This kind of think\u00ading should also guide us, the tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy com\u00adpa\u00adnies, who help cus\u00adtomers to speed up their dig\u00adi\u00adtal\u00adiza\u00adtion and have dai\u00adly dis\u00adcus\u00adsions with var\u00adi\u00adous orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtions on their needs and wish\u00ades. Our oper\u00ada\u00adtions are strong\u00adly shaped by our val\u00adues which under\u00adline the trans\u00adparen\u00adcy and courage to fresh\u00aden mind\u00adsets. The base is the respect and appre\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion towards every\u00adone. We val\u00adue our employ\u00adees and clients along with our part\u00adners and nowa\u00addays the dif\u00adfer\u00adence between part\u00adner and com\u00adpeti\u00adtor is a thin line.<\/p>\n It is time to broad\u00aden our hori\u00adzons, coop\u00ader\u00adate more and aban\u00addon old ways of think\u00ading. Today being a pio\u00adneer and pro\u00adfes\u00adsion\u00adal is more about real\u00adiz\u00ading the poten\u00adtial of dif\u00adfer\u00adent tech\u00adno\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal ecosys\u00adtems to our clients rather than empha\u00adsiz\u00ading the jux\u00adta\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adtion based on out\u00addat\u00aded assump\u00adtions. Togeth\u00ader, we can do better.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
