Where are enterprises in the their digitization journey ?
Enterprises preferred
the edge to core approach
Most enterprises are 20-50%
in their edge digitization cycle
Each edge digitization has a
equal and if not higher man
effort required for Edge to
core integration
Customers are at
crossroads
Digitization has to be done at
optimal cost to provide
the best value
This means further digital
transformation is not possible
without digitization of edge

What should enterprises do now ?
Enterprises must now look at the core before
moving further along the path of edge
digitization
Digitization of core is now a need rather
than a nice to have
But what does digitization of core
mean?
Digitization of core is updating your core ERP
system with post-modern ERP
Post modern ERP in addition to being built on
the latest tech allows for seamless integration
between the edge and core
To achieve 100% digitization of edge,
digitization of core is necessary
