There’s business transformation, which is really addressing the point I’ve said, how do you change your processes? How do you do process mining and assess the data in your process to optimize it? And finally IoT, which is basically connecting remote assets or mobile assets and collecting the data. And this is what we mean by digital backbone, we mean those infrastructure capabilities that are essential to be able to allow you to build upon.Īnd in our case, we are supporting our clients with hybrid integration and API management, which is the ability to connect applications, cloud-to-cloud, allow the business access through API’s, data integration, smart data pipes, moving data between different locations into places like Snowflake, Databricks, etcetera. So if you don’t have that digital infrastructure, then you are struggling to deliver these capabilities or have that differentiation in the market. Well, it’s because you need to have a certain level of digital infrastructure, upon which you can build your value-added services, upon which you can build your applications, upon which you can deliver more services to your clients. Why do they say that they need to become a software company? If you think about organizations, everybody talks about becoming a software company. What about the idea of the digital backbone? How does that support a TCE? But getting there was all about planting the flag and then defining a roadmap with clear milestones to get there. If you think about our own journey in Software AG, we have shifted a company that’s a 50-year-old company to a sustainable, profitable company. So it’s about creating that path to getting there, and then being consistent about the execution on that path. We start implementing that and we win more in the market. ![]() We adopt certain technologies, we change the ways of working. And then of course, it’s very essential to have a feasible road map that people can see: what are the milestones? How do we achieve that? Why are we doing this? And that’s the first step. They’re able to create a competitive differentiator, they’re able to really support their own businesses for growth.Īlso see: Digital Transformation Guide: Definition, Types & Strategy How do companies incentivize the move toward connected culture?įirst and foremost, it’s really important to create the vision: where exactly are we going? Where are we taking the company? How are we going to serve our clients better? How are we going to win more in the market?Īnd so it’s very important that everybody in our company buys into the why. And the businesses that are investing in that kind of digital transformation and are really stepping up to becoming TCE’s are able to shift away from products to services. And that’s why truly connected enterprise becomes really important. So to do all of that, you’ve got to have access to that data, you’ve got to give availability of that data to the business. The challenge is that this data is actually in quite a disparate landscape: it’s on certain on-prem applications, it’s in private cloud, it’s in public cloud it’s being created now on the edge.Īnd this is therefore the biggest challenge for companies: how do you bring this data together to give access to the business so that the business can use the data, whether it’s through the help of analytics tools or it allows certain activities in real time? If you think about most businesses today, they already have a lot of data that they have created, by virtue of having been in operations for many years. ![]() The following is a condensed transcript – see the podcast and video below. This enables greater value from company data – and significant competitive advantage. ![]() I spoke with Sanjay Brahmawar, CEO of Software AG, about how connecting people, processes and technology enables a company to become a truly connected enterprise.
