Business Platforms: laying the foundation for the future agile enterprise
As I see more clients onboard and go-live on Business Platforms [Bundle of Process, Technology (Application + Infra) and People delivered through a managed services model] – it is becoming obvious that they have in one significant paradigm shift moved from the motley baggage of applications and splintered processes of the past to a new simplified and harmonized end-to-end process, supported by a single platform and with trained people provided by a single provider.
This is like a whiff of fresh air, which will be the stepping foundation for their future success, agility and growth. To bring this to life, a recent client who moved onto the HRO platform, now realizes the significantly enhanced and empowered employee experience been created for their associates.
The basic employee data like leave is enabled online, the employee is able to see their pay slips with the details (rather than having to look up the bank account for the credit). Given employee cross company movement is needed for the growth of their business, the single unified HRO platform –provides them this ability to harmonize and commonly reflect the terms of employment for the various employees, facilitating ease of cross company transfers or employee movements.
The business Platform model while being new and needing a change in the client mindset to adopt, also releases significant pain of carrying the baggage of the past. This is the True value of moving into a Business Platform based service as it frees up leadership bandwidth and provides a great spring in the step and speed to carry out the much needed business changes for explosive growth .
Business Platforms remain the key choice for building the foundation of an agile future !
