Episode 104: Does Transformation require Business Involvement? – Johannes Langguth
A fresh coffee and a new guest: welcome to the SAP Experts Podcast! Today I am in conversation with my manager, Johannes Langguth. He is Vice President in the Cloud Transformation and Architecture Office in the MEE region at SAP. And we discuss if bringing business onboard is always required for transformation in a company? Should enterprise IT be reactive or is it easier to be proactive?
What if IT becomes an internal platform provider and turns from a cost center to a profit center? What are possible starting points for a transformation? Is an MVP which solves one specific challenge a good start to gain trust? Or is a “top down” approach by modernizing the whole IT landscape a first step to jumpstart transformation more from a strategic perspective?
Lots of questions – and you will find the answers in this episode. My name is Timo Deiner and you are listening to SAP Experts Podcast.
