Understanding the solution from day 1Deciding on adopting new business processes - on an informed basis

• Customers want and need to understand the processes that are implemented and the impact of the decisions that are taken from day 1

• In accelerated implementations there is limited time for detailled analysis of requirements

What is the impact of my decisions on the

new business process??

Can I see the Best Practice Process of

the system?

I’d like to see what I’m getting, not only what the options are

Driving Business ValueObtaining maximum business value from the Cloud solution

• Not all processes add the same value to the business

• Customers want and need to focus the effort on optimising the processes that drive value for the business

Is this administrative process ”good

enough”?

? What value would it bring me to optimise this process further?

I have received a number of requests for process change but we don’t have time to fulfill all.

Which do I fulfill?

Solution Driven

• Identify differentiating and value adding processes

• Focus the majority of effort on valuable processes. Innovate only when and where there you achieve true differentiation.

The Challenges of Cloud AdoptionAdopting Best Practices with a Cloud-specific adoption approach, not generic Change Management

Business sponsorshipCreating business value means making business decisions and

buy-in to the Modern Best Practice approach

Efficient Cloud Operating ModelOperating a Cloud Solution efficiently during and after

implementation requires a new Cloud operating model

Insufficient focus on process optimizationUnderstand and act on the business process impacts –e.g.. change in roles

Ready for TransitionAdopting Best Practices is different from adopting a custom solution. Acceptance of Best Practices and non-differentiating processes is key
