2. GOAL-SETTING FOR IT TRANSFORMATION
IT Transformation is integral to business process improvement.
The goals are to achieve greater operational efficiency and cost
optimization. Yet the scale and complexity of aligning all the
interdependent systems can inflate costs to a prohibitive extent.
Any misalignments adversely affect the behavior of the enterprise.
The 80/20 rule has two implications for IT Transformation:
1. Limited time and resources mean that only up to 80% of
transformation goals are typically met. This is called the
‘Achievement Gap’.
2. The 20% that was deferred compounds the next cycle of
transformation. This is the ‘Legacy Gap’. As the Legacy Gap
increases it inflates the costs for future transformation cycles.
The flip-side of IT transformation goal-setting is that costs can
actually increase and process efficiency can drop in specific
areas.
UNLOCKING THE DATA FROM THE PLATFORM
The main challenge of aligning operational systems with new
technology is the lack of commonality in application standards
and platforms. Essential data remains locked in state,
requiring significant disruption of workflows to enable change.
Finding a cost-effective, simple way to unlock the data
is the first step in establishing the right conditions for IT
transformation.
DATANOVATA: THE ENTERPRISE
APPLICATION DATA BRIDGE
DataNovata changes the paradigm by building a bridge from
your old platform to liberate any locked databases. The
medium for transformation is SQL. What is unique about
DataNovata is its ability to quickly generate an XML, Java-
based application that imitates the data views of the source
application, with virtually unlimited data accessibility.
DataNovata automatically generates a new database
application, on a low cost platform of choice, ensuring secure
and fully audited access to vital data from any location.
