In Summary: Self Funding Perpetual motion
The pace of business change is accelerating, organisations are seeking shorter innovation cycles that deliver almost immediate tangible benefits, this requires a new approach to SAP delivery.
Dragon ERP believes that this can be achieved by CONTEXTULISING the organistion’’s operating model as a meta enterprise, comprising;
the inner ERP process core (once implemented will remain relatively static)
Supplemented by an outer meta plug and play layer made up ofcloud interchangeable applications
cloud micro services
AI plug and play
Meta enterprise transformation will be enabled by the bi-modal delivery model that is a self funding loop of small change projects in perpetual motion (quarterly release cycle).
