Ma se vi dicessimo che i dipendenti dedicati a queste iniziative hanno un turnover maggiore del 30% rispetto ai dipendenti non coinvolti in un progetto ERP?

Is There a Future for Big System Integrators?
系統集成商（尤其是大公司）正發現需要重塑自己。我們談論的是一個去年收入估計超過2200億美元的行業。Deloitte、Accenture和其他公司通過專注於像Oracle和SAP這樣的大型軟件公司並與之並肩作戰來賺取利潤。幾十年來，他們一直在銷售同樣的大企業定制（有時是預先確定的）架構應用程序。以下是正在發生的變化。 公司更注重預算和時間 隨著Covid-19大流行病引起的所有動盪，公司不太願意 “簽署 “大額的複雜的多年期ERP計劃。他們越來越聰明，把他們的技術預算集中在能夠提供更快結果的軟件上。 HCM和CRM軟件是兩個主要的例子。公司明白，在支持大型IT部門的同時，擁有大規模存儲能力的必要性越來越小，因為基於雲的應用程序和存儲的需求從未如此強烈。 客戶也意識到，系統集成商並不擁有自己的軟件，因此會與軟件公司結盟，希望能獲得終端客戶的長期業務。當一個SI提供/建議一項核心技術時，他們希望不僅通過提供系統，而且通過管理和運營的持續補償來賺錢。 隨著業務流程的顛覆和供應鏈的斷裂，企業看起來與2020年初時完全不同。 JIT庫存管理–雖然是為了省錢而引入的，但更有可能在大流行期間造成延誤（當整個供應鏈缺乏可用性的時候）。公司正被迫專注於技術解決方案，如員工與ERP軟件的連接，可以由非集中式的勞動力遠程使用。 公司也在更快地獲取新技術，並尋求獨立的ERP專家的指導。像第三階段諮詢公司這樣的獨立諮詢公司可以接觸到大的軟件品牌，並對其有深入的了解，但也不吝於審核各種二級解決方案，這些方案可能更有成本效益，實施起來也更快。這些解決方案可以解決各種問題，從供應鏈的混亂到如何增加與員工的虛擬溝通。 公司領導在尋找替代性的IT理念和支持 高層管理人員不得不更多地參與和了解ERP – 並正在尋求方法。一些企業是爆炸性增長的業務，而其他人尋求的方式來重塑和生存。他們不是在尋找大的系統集成商的近期解決方案，創新或輔導。他們想了解更多的技術，如基於網絡的門戶、人工智能、物聯網、AP和一系列其他功能。正確地說，公司領導層希望了解成本和時機。需求正在轉向專門從事雲計算、移動計算、組織變革管理等的小型顧問和集成商。公司看到了顧問的價值，他們是快速行動者和成功的推動者，同時收取合理的價格。 有些，如第三階段諮詢公司，是獨立的小眾或精品顧問。我們幫助公司建立和調整他們的戰略，通常在可行的情況下結合現有系統。我們還專門從事組織準備評估和組織變革管理等領域，並作為管理調整的渠道。對那些有效地知道如何在預算範圍內及時實施和公佈新技術的顧問需求量很大。此外，這意味著要了解如何促進員工廣泛接受的複雜情況。雖然病毒引起了恐慌，但積極的一面是公司不得不投資和推進可能被擱置的技術。 總結 與大型系統集成商相關的並非秘密的反彈不會很快消失。在他們試圖重塑自我的同時，像Accenture這樣的公司在美國和國際上都在裁員25000人。德勤正處於自2020年5月以來的第三輪裁員。 這是一個形式服從功能的問題。客戶將繼續用腳投票，決定如何明智地使用他們的技術資金。 對你的系統集成商或一般的數字化轉型有更多問題嗎？我們很樂意聽到你的意見 – 請聯繫我們。
