Customer and employee expectations are forcing many large companies to radically increase digital touchpoints to their operations, while accelerating cloud migrations and rollouts of strategic IT platforms such as SAP S4/HANA. The critical factors for corporate and product IT are the exponentially growing speed of developments, and the resulting short-lived nature of new technologies.
As a result of these forces, the familiar linear structure of long-term IT planning may be doomed to failure. LeanIX CEO and co-founder, André Christ, claims the need to rethink the fundamentals of how we approach project planning in the future. Whereas the traditional transformation model saw IT envision a target architecture and execute upon a project until completed, this approach no longer holds true in times of exponential growths of new technologies.
Industry Shift Toward Continuous Transformation
Christ’s main vision for 2021 IT trends is the shift away from one-off digital transformation initiatives and the move toward architecting for continuous change.
“Digital transformation has become a buzzword in our industry. However, since the digital world is not static, there is no such thing as a company undergoing only one digital transformation. For companies to remain competitive, their goal should be continuous transformation,” said Christ.
