Mining data gold with the Enterprise Strategy Suite
In corporations of this size, collecting, analyzing, and assessing strategically relevant data and information poses a significant challenge that can hardly be overcome without a suitable tool. Since 2012, the company has been implementing its strategic planning with the support of the digital Enterprise Strategy Suite [EVO-Cloud] platform, which replaced the previous SAP system.
All those responsible for strategy certainly agree that the introduction of another IT system usually comes with reservations and frictions.
How to convince employees to accept a new software tool? It’s quite simple: The users do not even notice that a new tool is in use. In this case, the Enterprise Strategy Suite [EVO-Cloud] was smoothly integrated into the Microsoft collaboration platform SharePoint, with which the employees were already familiar. Using Quick Links, employees download reports or create dashboards and custom presentations without even noticing that the data comes from the Enterprise Strategy Suite [EVO-Cloud].
