, Introduc*on to the course – what is a digital organiza*on?
A digital organiza-on implements informa(on systems
Informa)on technologies:

- Enterprise Applica)ons (ERP, CRM, SCM)
- E-commerce and M-commerce
- Collabora)on systems
- Business Intelligence and Analy)cs
- Knowledge Management Systems (KMS)
- Cybersecurity
- Emerging digital solu)ons (AI, Cloud, Augmented and VR)
- …

Successful technology implementa)on requires more than buying and installing soIware (lots
of soIware bought by companies isn’t being used)

The availability of informa)on technology does not guarantee the (correct) usage of this
technology

Building digital organiza)ons requires more than the mere implementa)on of informa)on
technology

Technology is only one piece of the puzzle

• Digi)zing organiza)ons is an architectural excercise with following building blocks:
o Technology
o Organiza)on
o Management
• Implemen)ng informa)on systems and technology alone does not deliver a
compe))ve advantage

to realize its strategic objec(ves in order to achieve a compe((ve
advantage
strategies for a compe))ve advantage

• Lowest cost à Aldi, IKEA, Ryanair, Colruyt
Ryanair uses technology to be the cheapest one; they use an app so there are no people
needed to answer ques)ons
• Product leadership à Tesla, Apple
Tesla uses app to make their product beTer and to offer extra func)ons
• Customer and supplier in)macy à Tiktok, NeWlix
They want to know you as a customer; app is purely based on data collec)ng
