digital process transformation

The digital transformation poses major challenges for companies, because in the foreseeable future the entire value chain will be digitized, from purchasing, logistics, and production to marketing and sales. Today, scenarios are already a reality in which the ERP system can independently determine when a raw material will be used up on the basis of the order situation, production capacities and current stock levels and reorder it autonomously.

The basis of this transformation is the digitization of your business processes and the associated change in the way you act and think. The objective is a continuous flow of information in the process that is not interrupted by barriers, system breaks or manual intervention. The decisive factor here is that all information is available digitally in the required quality. Companies can generate many benefits through the digitization of business processes, such as

  • Cost savings through automation of process steps
  • Increase in process speed and quality
  • Reduction of process risks through implementation of controls
  • Availability of detailed information about the process status
  • Flexible options for process adaptation

In addition, companies can use the data obtained to add digital functions to their product portfolio and introduce innovative, data-based services known as “smart services”. The application of big data and analytics requires that a high degree of digitization of processes has already been achieved.

The basis for the digital transformation of processes described above is active business process management (BPMS) and process-wide system support as well as a uniform database. A BPMS enables the definition and realization of digital processes with simultaneous integration into their existing application landscape. Process-wide system support and a uniform database enable a continuous flow of information with a high degree of automation.

Our solution

Our procedure

With our many years of process experience and our holistic solution approach consisting of a “Big Data Analytics” platform, Analytics Suite and our service portfolio, EnterpriseMind can offer you a complete transformation solution from a single source and support you in digitizing your business processes and generating competitive advantages.

The Process Management module of our Analytics Suite provides you with all the necessary functionalities for active business process management (BPM). With our “Big Data Analytics” platform you realize a uniform data basis for a continuous information flow of your processes.

Based on the process analysis in the Process Management module, digitization potentials are identified, defined and selected. In close cooperation with you, we create a transformation concept and derive the required technology from it and design the technical solutions for you.

When implementing IT solutions, we follow an agile planning approach in accordance with the SDLC (Software Development Lifycycle) according to COBIT. This is to ensure that the project is completed to the required quality, timeframe, and budget. In addition, evaluation, quality assurance and release take place after each phase.

  • 1. business case and business requirement

    We gain a deep understanding of your business model, processes and organization. Together with you, we work out how the digitization of your processes can support you in achieving your company’s goals and what opportunities it offers. We develop an appropriate business case with you and record the business requirements.

  • 2. process recording and analysis

    In accordance with the business requirements, we identify the essential processes, record them in the Process Management module and analyze them with regard to the potential for digitization. In particular, we investigate system breaks and manual processing steps that hinder the continuous flow of information. We then work with you to develop automation solutions to increase effectiveness and efficiency.

  • 3. conception of the process transformation

    Based on the identified digitization potentials and the elaborated automation solutions, we design a digital process transformation concept with you in which several dimensions are integrated.

    • Process model: What should the process look like ?
    • Technology: What technology is needed for implementation?
    • Resources: How many employees with what skills are needed?
    • Operation: what activity must be performed?
    • Organization: How is the process integrated into the organization?

    The primary goal of the concept is to ensure feasibility and consistency with the corporate strategy.

  • 4. technology

    The required scope of technology depends primarily on the degree of digitization of your processes. With an advanced level of digitization, it is individual automation functions or interfaces that are sufficient for an efficient and continuous flow of information.

    If the degree of digitization is low, it may be advisable to introduce a system. With our many years of experience in ERP implementations, we accompany you from vendor selection to implementation and ensure that the project runs successfully.

    In addition, we can design and program an individual solution tailored to your needs.

  • 5. implementation, test and GoLive

    In accordance with the digital process transformation concept, the new process is implemented in your organization and tested in parallel with the existing process. We support you with the corresponding functional and integration tests as well as coach your employees. After a successful test phase, the process is released into production and monitored according to BPMC.

Holistic approach to solutions

With our Analytics Suite and our service portfolio, we cover the necessary areas in terms of technology, expertise and processes to successfully support you in the digitization and automation of your processes. With our expertise in BPM (Business Process Management), we can model and implement processes tailored to your needs and requirements. With our expertise in software engineering, we can design and program the IT solutions you need.

Many years of experience

Benefit from our many years of experience in the introduction and implementation of ERP systems and processes. We support you in the selection of system providers, creation of flowcharts and the authorization concept, customizing of the system, in the execution of integration and functional tests as well as in the training of your employees. This ensures that the system is implemented according to your business requirements, the efficiency gains are achieved and your business processes are not disrupted.

Agile development and flexible implementation

We follow an agile approach with short development cycles and fast applicable results. Thus, individual information flows can be flexibly adapted according to new business requirements and business rules can be redefined. This is especially important in a business world that is subject to constant change, and rigid business processes can lead to competitive disadvantages and missed opportunities.

Best practice and compliance compliant

In the EM Process Management module, you can map the process management lifecycle (BPMLC). When implementing IT solutions, we follow an agile development approach in accordance with the SDLC (Software Development Lifycycle) according to COBIT. This is to ensure that the project is completed to the required quality, timeframe, and budget. In addition, we take compliance risks into account and ensure that accounting-relevant processes comply with the GoBS (principles of proper computer-aided accounting systems).

Innovative solutions

As a digitization, big data and analytics solution provider, we are always looking to implement new innovative solutions for our customers. Our solutions are based on leading technologies such as Mesos, Cassandra, Spark and Kafka. These are also used by other vendors such as SAP, IBM and Microsoft. This allows you to benefit from future technological developments and secure competitive advantages through innovation.

Basis for Big Data Analytics and Industry 4.0

By digitizing your processes, you primarily generate efficiency and effectiveness gains by automating your process activities. In addition, you create the conditions for new data transmission business models and services. With our solution approach and our “Big Data Analytics” platform, we support you in processing the new data generated by digitalization and in increasing their added value with new data-driven solutions. For example, you can use “Big Data Analytics” or “Industry 4.0” solutions to add new services to your portfolio or transform your business model.
