Digital transformation
The path to a new era
Two concepts are currently omnipresent: one is the availability of applications in an increasingly agile environment. The other is digital transformation. Digital transformation encompasses many highly relevant topics, including the Internet of Things (IoT), industry 4.0, robotic process automation (RPA) and machine learning (AI). Process automation, interfaces and existing standards lay the collective foundation for seamless systems interoperability. Are you asking yourself how you can integrate your existing applications in a wider digitisation project? We can help you with plan and execute your digital transformation – take a step into a new age with us.

Digital Transformation: the Market Situation
Users, the media, politicians, businesses and experts all see one of the greatest economic challenges of our time in digital transformation. It therefore comes as now surprise that digital transformation garners a lot of interest. Digital data flows open up new opportunities – no matter whether at home, in service companies or in industry. The Internet of Things is increasing this trend dramatically, because through it, digital devices share data with each other. Many production processes are already fully digitised or have equivalents in the cloud – think industry 4.0. And yet, many businesses do not know what digital transformation means in practice: is it just a handy way to describe moving to the cloud? What steps are involved? Do we need to create new roles to pursue our digital transformation or should we engage consultants? What aspects of our business strategy require adaptations? Is it really worth it? Digital transformation fundamentally changes how you work and how you offer your clients value. It means integrating digital technology into every part and parcel of your business. Importantly, it requires a cultural shift and demands of you that you continuously ask questions, try things out, and think of mistakes as chances to do something differently and better.
Digital Transformation: the Challenges
Unsurprisingly, the challenges you may face in your digital transformation are both complex and dynamic. Every step in a digital transformation has its own challenges – from API management, over RPA integration and fundamental automation processes to input and output management. Key to digital transformation is integrating the systems involved and enabling them to communicate with each other. Some communications solutions already exist, including proprietary concepts and an enterprise service bus. In an age of SOA, containers and the cloud, APIs should be your preferred solution. The challenge here is to transform existing interfaces into a standardised new system. Another key part of digital transformation is the fundamental automation of processes and of applications, both in terms of business process automation (BPA) and robotic process automation (RPA). Success here requires you to identify existing processes and to visualise them, and then to integrate systemic processes within a future automation project. For input and output management, the main challenges are usually turning digital data flows into digital documents, handling and converting different types of data, e.g. with regards to a digital inbox, and the automation of omni-channel solutions. And last but by no means least, digital transformation affects every member of your team – which means you need to support them to adapt to new ways of working.
Solution and Approach
There is no definitive solution for all the challenges you may face throughout your digital transformation. Instead, you need a combination of solutions that create additional value in each step of your transformation journey. Importantly, such solutions enable you to use existing resources more effectively. These solutions cover all your application related tasks, from development over integration, distribution and testing to operations. In all of this, we support you across four key components of technical transformation. We simplify all aspects of API management from RPA integration into legacy applications, over application automation, to managing data and print job inputs and outputs. We create modern, scalable architectures that allow for easy, seamless integration of new communication channels well into the future (API economy). They also open up your path to new types of media. Via a central platform, we link all IT systems for documentation with all conceivable communications channels. This enables you to exchange data in any direction. By employing a pay as you use model we increase flexibility (e.g. for production peaks) and transparency (through variable and/or fixed costs). Our digital first approach provides the foundation for an uncomplicated and swift switch from paper based to digital communication.
Why EasiRun
We are an experienced digital transformation service and solutions provider. Drawing on our knowledge of transformation requirements and challenges, we support you through consulting, implementation and beyond. Our work is based on the EasiRun PTAH approach:
-
- Platform
- Technology
- Application
- Human
We tackle every digital transformation with a well thought through and individualised transformation concept. Every one of our transformation concepts has defined and agreed goals, work packages and milestones that collectively define your digital transformation. We offer and guarantee the highest level of transparency in terms of resource requirements from the very start to the very end, through our customer specific proposals and project management. We work on different aspects of your digital transformation in parallel and thereby minimise costs. Our tried and tested project management approach keeps the need for inputs from your staff to a minimal level. Upon completion of each work package, we discuss and agree the detailed approach to subsequent tasks with you. This, in combination with regular project management meetings and feedback loops allows us to meaningfully and continuously improve – so that your digital transformation with us is a resounding success.
