Syosset, NY - May 18, 2006 Managing information efficiently is the key to optimizing and transforming your business processes. The end result? Companies that successfully implement business transformation projects are able to respond more effectively to customer needs, industry demands, and changing market conditions. These capabilities translate into benefits such as lower costs and faster time to market.
But what are the key approaches an enterprise can take to implement business transformation? Which product architecture should organizations follow to capture the benefits of business transformation? And just what is the role of "information as a service" to enable business transformation?
To enable business and technology executives to undertake their own projects, IBM and WatchIT - a leader in on-demand education - have produced a video-based program that identifies the benefits of business transformation and techniques used by early adopters.
In this program, "Leverage Information for Business Transformation," Mark Register, Vice President, IBM Information Integration Solutions, explains the significance of business transformation, describes the benefits realized from customer engagements, and details how to put together a transformation project team. Register also explains how several companies across diverse industries chose to implement their projects.
In addition, Michael Curry, IBM Program Director, Information Integration, discusses the five patterns of information services and how they are used, and describes products that enable implementation. In a compelling case study, Curry relates how Harley- Davidson developed information services that enhanced dealers´ inventory management.
Viewers will benefit from the lessons learned by companies that have already implemented "information as a service" technologies and processes. After watching this program, they will know the best ways to get started with transforming their businesses to meet new opportunities and competitive threats.
The program, approximately 45 minutes in length, is presented in WatchIT´s acclaimed "Knowledge Navigator" platform. This interactive interface includes a full, rich-media presentation, including video, graphics, and animation, as well as value- added educational resources such as Web links, white papers, and a glossary of terms.
