Overview
The change to SaaS/Cloud based IT models modifies etablished business models and sales approaches and leads to great uncertainty. The core business becomes more difficult at the same time: Value selling and price implementation at new customers, product architecture with cost-effective start (but without the cannibalisation of higher-value customers), greater penetration of established customers, optimisation of international pricing structure, enforcement of high maintenance costs, effective controlling of sales partners, increase of own sales performance, reduction of unnecessary rebates and discounts.
In this context, the IT is the basis for sustainable and efficient business processes respectively the basis for new products and innovations. The role of IT is to provide contributions to efficiency increase and cost optimisation and to make forecasts about the potential of innovations in a permanent process.
