From IT strategy to implementation – success factors and challenges of international IT transitions

Between time zones, cultures and communication styles – how international IT transitions succeed.

International IT transitions rarely fail because of technology – but rather because of culture, communication and expectations. Setting up tech hubs in India, Poland or Romania can address the shortage of IT specialists, but it also brings complex challenges. How can knowledge be transferred sustainably, employees avoid being overworked and intercultural teams be brought together successfully? Using specific projects, this article shows which success factors really matter – and why genuine collaboration requires more than just tools and processes.

More than technology: How companies with vision, culture and expertise achieve AI maturity

Many companies are faced with the challenge of integrating artificial intelligence into their organisation in a meaningful way - between the pressure to innovate, limited resources and cultural resistance. There is often a lack of strategic direction, targeted skills development for employees and an environment that promotes learning. Without a clear interplay between leadership, culture, governance and qualification, well-intentioned initiatives risk failing before they have a chance to take effect.

Service Integration and Management (SIAM): The key to successfully managing complex provider landscapes

Companies with a complex IT infrastructure in particular have built up a diverse landscape of IT service providers over the past few decades.

Automation, yes! But what?

In an increasingly digitalised business world, efficiency and cost reduction are decisive factors for a company's success. Robotic process automation (RPA) offers the opportunity to automate time-consuming and repetitive administrative processes. This not only significantly reduces the workload of employees, but also enables processes to be controlled error-free and in real time. This raises the question of which processes are best suited to automation and quickly generate measurable added value for the company and its employees

Why do RPA projects fail?

Automation has long been more than just RPA. While robotic process automation was originally seen as a solution for repetitive processes, the field has evolved: Process mining, business process management (BPM) and artificial intelligence are expanding the possibilities and pushing the boundaries of what is considered automatable. However, the euphoria surrounding these advances is often in stark contrast to the reality of many companies. Even today, numerous RPA projects fail or do not deliver the hoped-for added value. The causes are complex - from strategic omissions to unrealistic expectations.

Digital transformation in the order-to-cash process

IT service provider and managed service provider Ratiodata is taking the next step in its digital transformation. The specialist & service partner for IT & self-service infrastructure in bank branches, for example, has carried out a large-scale project to automate the interaction between people and software in the order-to-cash process. With the support of noventum consulting GmbH, the IT service provider re-implemented this important process on the basis of the Microsoft Power Platform, created important framework conditions for a broader use of the software in future and is thus driving forward its digitalisation 2.0 strategy.

Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) - combination of RPA and AI

Almost every company in Germany already has enormous potential to automate processes with robotic process automation (RPA). This potential is being significantly increased by the ongoing development of generative AI. The combination of RPA and AI, also known as Intelligent Process Automation (IPA), opens up new possibilities. By using the rule-based RPA bot to access generative AI, it is possible to automate complex process (steps).
