The three dimensions of successful digital transformation
To unleash the full potential of a modern enterprise application that gives you the “unfair advantage” and turn you into an intelligent enterprise, you need consultants who understand and address all three dimensions of digital transformation. At Global Experts, we connect these dimensions, providing the strategic guidance of WHY to pursue transformation, expert advice on the HOW to achieve it and a proven track record of successful implementation of WHAT works best for your unique needs and goals.
The WHY: connecting purpose to strategy
Having a clear purpose is essential as it is the driving force behind any successful endeavor. The best-in-class implementations of enterprises are based on their strategic goals and identifying the capabilities required to overcome industry challenges and outperform the competition. Digital transformation consultants play a vital role in bridging the gap between organization’s purpose and strategy by suggesting and implementing digital tools and technologies that can help attain the desired goals.
The WHAT: implementing SAP solutions
To achieve the best-in-class performance, organizations must connect next-gen application capabilities with their strategy and challenges and prioritize effective benefits. This involves leveraging SAP solutions to optimize business processes, improve operational efficiency and drive innovation. Implementing SAP solutions can help organizations stay agile and resilient to changing marketing conditions and create new business opportunities.
The HOW: maximizing value with the right approach
Best-in-class adopters understand the importance of the “right approach” to fully leverage technology benefits and ensure their investments are worthwhile. With extensive experience and profound knowledge of the best practices of all transition options, Global Experts digital transformation experts can advise customers on their best-fit approach and build a roadmap that considers all three perspectives.
The three metrics for successful digital transformation
To realize significant benefits from digital transformation, it is essential to balance the top, bottom and green lines optimally. Many market players concentrate primarily on bottom-line optimization, which results in marginal benefits for the adopters. At Global Experts, we focus on these three optimization areas when guiding customers through their transformation journey in an effective, efficient and sustainable way.

|
Step 1: Get information on the context, SAP strategy, best practices of best-in-class SAP adopters and the mechanisms with which SAP solutions generate benefits for their adopters. |
Step 2: Build a process map and distinguish between commodity processes and differentiating processes. Identify scope Items and leverage tools such as SAP Signavio for SAP S/4HANA Process Discovery. |
Step 3: Identify the foremost strategic goals and challenges through a workshop with Global Experts to gain insights from an industry point of view. |
 |
 |
 |
|
Step 4: Derive the capabilities required for differentiating processes based on industry premises and technology benefits. A capability refers to a combination of features, functions and technologies that enable customers to implement their strategies successfully. |
Step 5: Prioritize capabilities and build an architecture of SAP applications that provide the features and functions to support those capabilities. Develop a roadmap to guide the implementation of the SAP architecture. |
Step 6: Get a general idea of the size or cost of your project before diving into detailed planning by calculating Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM). ROM estimates are useful in the early stages of project planning and can give you a general sense of how your project might look and what resources you will need to bring it to fruition. |
