IBM Con­tin­u­um is a mod­el for part­ner­ship with our clients, cen­tered on busi­ness val­ue. IBM Con­tin­u­um was devel­oped in response to our clients’ need to ensure their tech­nol­o­gy invest­ments dri­ve busi­ness val­ue and out­come. The mod­el is cen­tered on the con­cept of help­ing clients iden­ti­fy and cap­ture val­ue on a con­tin­u­al basis. Using SAP as the dig­i­tal core, we help clients cre­ate val­ue through­out the jour­ney, before, dur­ing, and after their dig­i­tal core invest­ment. Join us in this ses­sion to learn how IBM helps you to accel­er­ate the time to val­ue, achieve the planned val­ue, and expand the address­able value.

Accel­er­ate the Time to Value

• Opti­mize busi­ness process­es and poli­cies to dri­ve near-term improve­ment and val­ue capture
• Con­sol­i­date app man­age­ment to dri­ve ser­vice lev­els and cost sav­ings as near term val­ue driver
• Adopt tar­get­ed busi­ness process out­sourc­ing to dri­ve near term back office productivity 
• Mod­ern­ize apps to enhance capa­bil­i­ties and lever­age cloud-native oper­at­ing models

Achieve the Planned Value

• Build the fact base and ingre­di­ents for suc­cess to define a clear path for­ward on SAP-based transformation
• Estab­lish the next-gen tech­nol­o­gy plat­form and SAP as the dig­i­tal core to accel­er­ate busi­ness performance
• Bun­dle SAP sys­tems inte­gra­tion, AMS, and infra­struc­ture and cre­ate flex­i­bil­i­ty in CapEx vs OpEx models
