Digitalization projects are interdisciplinary and require good project management
For companies, the digitalization of operational processes often represents a previously unknown challenge. The implementation of each individual digitization use case is technically complex and also requires the cooperation of different departments (internal and external) in the form of a defined project. If elementary topics (e.g. target definition, technical solution/requirements, personnel capacities, control tools) are not given sufficient consideration at the start of the project, this inevitably leads to delays in implementation and the associated higher costs.
Accordingly, creating a common understanding of the requirements, setting up the project correctly and managing it in a results-driven manner are key success factors for staying on time and on budget during implementation.
Using TARGUS know-how to set up digitization projects correctly and accelerate implementation
Especially in the early phase of a digitization project, it is essential to get the necessary know-how into the implementation team. On the one hand, TARGUS has a deep understanding of operations and thus understands the challenges and requirements of the operational departments. On the other hand, we have an understanding of IT technology and knowledge of the use of information and communication technologies. This enables us to act as a “translator” between the various specialist disciplines and thus create a common understanding among all those involved.
Phases of a digitalization project
Typically, a digitalization project is divided into four rough phases.
Specific adaptations to the respective situation of the company or requirements of the use case are taken into account when setting up the project.
Project results
- Coordinated, clear target definition (requirements specification) exists among all parties involved
- Decision on technical implementation based on objective criteria and operational benefits
- Cross-interface project organization defined and routines for control established
- Project plan created and critical path identified
- Accelerated implementation through early focus on the key topics
