Why Dynamic Systems Matter To Business and IT Professionals

*!ery usiness is different6 ut many of the demands usinesses face remain the same:1. Creatin loyal and (rofitale customer relationshi(s

#. In!entin and enhancin (roducts or ser!ices/. Meetin o((ortunities and threats -ith an effecti!e and efficient res(onse inloal connected marets

But (eo(le6 not usinesses6 meet these challenes. Peo(le tend to succeed -hen theyha!e the riht systems6 tools6 and culture6 -hen arriers are eliminated to -orin -ithcustomers6 and -hen the riht (riorities6 orani2ation6 and leadershi( are in (lace.

Businesses that ha!e these ca(ailities tend to succeed ecause (eo(le throuhout theusiness are em(o-ered to contriute to success as they tae on the demands that thecom(any faces e!ery day.

9or (rofessionals to sur!i!e and thri!e -hen they tae on usiness demands6 thesystems that enale their -or must e -ellAmatched to the challenes they face. Wechoose one -ord to descrie the inds of demands usiness (eo(le face today:dynamic. The aility of your usiness and the (eo(le in it to sur!i!e and thri!e in theface of these dynamic demands is a function of the ca(aility and fitness of thesystems that under(in their -or.

Dynamic systems are a strateic asset to a com(any ecause they increase the

ca(aility of a usiness and the (eo(le in it to meet dynamic demands -ith a uic and

effecti!e res(onse. &nd dynamic systems technoloiesEthose that enale dynamic

ca(aility in systemsEare an essential (art of su((ortin the (erformance of

usinesses and the (eo(le in them.

Dynamic demands

are those that are

increasingly

immediate, varied,

and continuously

changing. We call

systems designed to

enable businesses

and the people in

them to meet

dynamic demands

with a quick and

effective response

dynamic systems.

And we call

technologies that

include such

capabilities

dynamic systems

technologies.



So6 -hat does your usiness loo lie -hen it im(lements dynamic systemsF

• Empowers people with access to information, when they need it. Interation

• Automated processes aligned to business goals. Peo(le -or smoothly -ith

• Security compliance issues under control. SelfA(ro!isionin soft-are and

other technoloies im(ortant for data retention and auditin so that there isim(ro!ed reliaility6 lo-ered costs6 and increased ser!ice le!els.

• Features the capability to adapt IT services easily to changing business

needs. Ser!ice manaement is im(lemented for all critical issues -ith ser!icele!el areements and o(erational re!ie-s estalished. The usiness is morea-are of the strateic !alue of its dynamic systems infrastructure in runnin itso(erations efficiently and stayin ahead of its com(etitors. The usiness canado(t more technoloy faster and -ith less ris. Costs are more controlled.

&s sho-n elo-6 a central tas of usiness and IT (rofessionals in dri!in to-ards thisdynamic state is to choose technoloies to in!est in that est enale the usiness6 and
