To meet the challenges of the next decade, the aerospace and defense industry will have to equip itself with the digital capabilities needed for digital continuity throughout the life cycle of the sector’s products and resources.

Organizations across all industries are facing challenges to develop complex products that require strong collaboration across domains and disciplines. The A&D industry is no exception. Digital innovation will be a requirement to address the new complexities within development and production lifecycles. Transforming the aircraft industry means transforming the way data is managed. Digital innovation can help with unifying the use of data throughout an organization, and across the A&D ecosystem. As a digital enabler, digital continuity can accelerate operations like supply chain. Creating an intelligent supply chain, one driven by data and digital innovation, will ensure the efficiency, consistency, orchestration and compliance of new products on the market, industrial resources and associated services. Data has never been more critical. Digital continuity is the path forward. It works as a digital twin, a kind of metaverse allowing for the centralization of data. Most importantly, it plays a crucial role in collaboration across the enterprise. According to a report from the Capgemini Research Institute , 73% of A&D organizations now have a long-term roadmap for digital twin technology, and investment is ramping up, being projected to increase 40% from the previous year. So, why is Digital Continuity the answer for the […]

Cloud ERP Implementation: How Enterprises Can Modernize Without Disrupting Customers

Mari Cross, Chief Customer Officer and Frank Resink, EVP, Global Professional Services at Infor Photograph: (Infor) Enterprises usually have multi-year technology roadmaps, which means moving to the cloud is going to happen, but the shift needs to be gradual and without disruption. Organizations in sectors such as manufacturing, construction, and healthcare in particular, continue using highly customized on-premise ERP systems. While these systems get the job done, they restrict agility, scalability, and AI-powered insights. Modernization carries the threat of service downtime, annoying clients and affecting brand image. To upgrade legacy systems, switch to cloud infrastructure, or introduce AI-driven automation, companies need to find a fine balance—be innovative while maintaining a smooth experience for their users. According to Mari Cross, Chief Customer Officer , and Frank Resink, EVP Global Professional Services , enterprises can achieve modernization without disruption by focusing on customer-centric strategies, leveraging phased implementation, and ensuring proactive communication. In this article, they share key insights, best practices, and real-world examples of how organizations can successfully transform while maintaining a frictionless customer experience. “Innovation and customer support go hand in hand,” says Mari Cross. “We are fully committed to supporting all our products while continuously investing in new solutions.

We have identified six critical success factors (which happily all begin with P) … and argue that this is not about Digital Transformation at all. This is good old fashioned change management, accelerated by the possibilities of the digital age. It is tempting to see Platforms as potential silver bullets but without Planning, Process, Policy, Practices and People you risk spending a lot of time (and money) chasing a dream. At PTI we have long-recognised that a consolidated approach to the 6 P’s is vital for success. Yes, technology is critical but no more so than the others. Would love to get your views! In and amongst the various challenges of a successful digital transformation is the assumption that it is all about technology, that the right platform will somehow paper over the various cracks in the business. It’s a […]
