The digitisation gains more and more importance in all its facets. An expert comment by Wilhelm Petersmann, Vice President & Managing Director Austria & Switzerland Fujitsu.

New trends in the area of information and communication technology open up permanently. Mobility, cloud computing and the Internet-of-Things will play an even larger role in the next few years. The subject security will also highly concern private persons as well as businesses. The analysis, structuring, representation and extraction of the data amounts (“Big Data“) resulting in parallel thereby counts toward the biggest challenges in the next few years.

Flexible solutions to realise the digital transformation
All these developments influence our work routine considerably. During times when flexibility, customer focus and the quick adaptation of business processes, innovative thinking is required. Proactive management of information and communication technologies thereby causes the lowest costs and is the most efficient. Forward-looking businesses accordingly rely on flexible solutions in order to realise the digital transformation successfully. Through the use of flexible cloud solutions, investment costs can be lowered significantly,for example by means of usage-dependent invoicing models. The advantages of the digitisation are obvious. On the way there, insecurity often prevails - mainly regarding the decisions to be made.

Flexible business platforms facilitate IT processes
With the abundance of new services and future trends, it is decisive for businesses to keep an overview. Digital business platforms are the key for the smooth integration of new solutions in existing systems. Platforms as for example MetaArc by Fujitsu thus support businesses to master the challenges growing with digitisation in an optimum manner. Already existing IT systems can be managed easier with their help. In parallel, these platforms offer the possibility to integrate new and innovative solutions into the existing IT infrastructure. While the core system is modernised, the employees can enjoy the full performance and flexibility in order to continue their business successfully, securely and cost-efficient.
