How We Unfold Digital Transformation
Digital transformation is the revision and evolution of a company’s technology environment with the goal of improving business performance metrics. We manage large-scale projects effectively by bringing clear structure and organization to the process while leaving space for tuning our framework to each unique project.
1.In-depth investigation of the current business state
At this step, we:
- Get an overall business picture: size, geographical presence, major processes, business model(s), product/service lines, supply chains, finance.
- Find out business goals and a planned roadmap for further company development. As the vision of different stakeholders may differ, we consolidate the opinions and ultimately advise on how the strategy may be tuned in view of digital transformation.
- Define business areas subject to transformation and study them thoroughly using business process assessment, interviews, problems/goals decomposition, value stream mapping.
2. Digital transformation strategy
At this step, we:
- Set up long-term digital transformation goals.
- Prioritize goals based on the expected impact and urgency.
- Plan a sequence of manageable initiatives taken to achieve the goals.
- Appraise each initiative in terms of cost, time, and manpower requirements.
3. Digital transformation implementation
We help with:
- IT infrastructure transformation to reduce costs and enable technology-driven innovation.
- Implementation of new software aimed to bring the required improvements to business processes.
- Transformation of existing software solutions to align them with the current business needs, make more maintainable and user-friendly.
