ASUG Express: Emerge Stronger By Identifying and Capturing Value - Transforming a Legacy ERP to a Modernized ERP for the Digital Era

IBM Continuum is a model for partnership with our clients, centered on business value. IBM Continuum was developed in response to our clients’ need to ensure their technology investments drive business value and outcome. The model is centered on the concept of helping clients identify and capture value on a continual basis. Using SAP as the digital core, we help clients create value throughout the journey, before, during, and after their digital core investment. Join us in this session to learn how IBM helps you to accelerate the time to value, achieve the planned value, and expand the addressable value.

Achieve the Planned Value
