The need for businesses to rationalize IT costs while increasing business flexibility is ever increasing. New challenges like Artificial Intelligence are requiring companies to change the way they look at their transactional systems. Gone are the days where firms could differentiate by investing in transactions and processes, instead the new frontier of technology driven value is through information, analytics and AI. This shift requires firms to move away from costly customization and configuration of packages and instead rationalize and simplify the core operations, reducing risk while freeing up budget to invest where it delivers value.
The best technology companies have learnt that by standardizing their infrastructure and transactional systems they are able to drive new innovation from a solid foundation. They do not aim to "build a better mousetrap" but instead can use the same foundation as everyone else and focus investment on where it truly drives market change.
Enterprise as a Service is about providing that transactional and operational foundation, all based on an industry leading data and analytics platform, that helps your business concentrate on what you do.
