Transformation Practice: Performance Management & Business Analytics
Introduction
At a time when clients are faced with an ever changing business landscape due to competition and evolving business models, ensuring initiatives to increase business performance remain relevant is a challenge. Innovative technology and applications suggest fast return on investment making it easy to want to jump straight into the technical project without giving enough thought to the bigger picture or the key business foundations required for success and achieving return on value.
Both Business and IT engagement in a transformation programme are key requirements for success. By establishing a roadmap that encompasses technology AND business impact and change, consensus can be established to aid the realisation of the business benefits expected from the programme.
PureApps transformation practice brings both this technical understanding and experience of the key foundations of successful transformation programmes. This allows us to advise on the right journey clients should be taking.
