Now is the time for action
Wait and you can miss opportunities. So what are you waiting for? Take incremental steps that can become a path to sustained transformation. In today's digital era, the windows of opportunity will be much smaller and often difficult to spot, with fewer big "make or break" moments. How can you achieve results? Start with a roadmap that includes frequent milestones, embedding digital execution into all business functions and markets, and embedding flexibility into operating models. Flexible business models create opportunities to serve customers better and adjust to ever-shifting market conditions.
SAP's modern platforms and architectures can be foundational for many organizations' ability to reimagine everything. Begin your journey by defining the needs and the expectations of your future customers. The choice for defining the pace of change and innovation is yours, but it can be challenging to decide where and how to begin.
Transform your ERP into a clean ERP
Years of customizing and incrementally enhancing the existing ERP often results in an architecture that is burdened with technical debt. Evidence of technical debt can be found in areas such as reports that are compiled but no longer used, transactions that are optimized for outdated business models, and infrastructure that is always scaled for performance exceptions that nobody recalls. Deloitte can help you design strategic operating models and create a clean ERP footprint. Contemporary solutions and architectures present opportunities to establish a reliable, efficient, and scalable core, with choices for whether, how and where to innovate via the cloud. For example, a clean ERP program can allow you to innovate as needed and then shed those innovations if they are no longer adding value.
