How a data strategy can lead to the sustained success of your digital transformation

Many things have to “go right” in order for digital transformation projects to succeed. These projects (e.g. ERP and CRM implementations) often delay, disappoint, or fail entirely. A frequent, yet avoidable reason for failure is the lack of a prudent, well-conceived data strategy.

A project-specific data strategy is developed once a business understands the information it owns, processes, controls, and needs – both in the present and future state.

A proper system implementation plan should incorporate elements of the data strategy – including the more challenging, time-consuming tasks of data cleansing, relevance assessments, migration cut-over planning and the like.

Planning ahead and considering your data strategy earlier rather than later in digital transformations, can increase your chances of success, as well as providing more sustained value.

In this session we discuss the success factors related to a prudent, proactive and intelligent data strategy – as well as what is necessary for increasing your odds of a sustainable digital transformation project.
