EUROPE continuously evolve with the alongside technologies and customers . MONETA has set a target for 40 % of its all core products to be distributed online or digitally through a number of channels by 2020 .
A transformation of this size and scope is not without its challenges , and for an organisation that has been operating for two decades the biggest challenge is complex architecture .
“ If you don ’ t have proper architecture in place then you cannot develop at any real pace ,” says Klein . “ The same with automation : you cannot automate without agile architecture and so we decided to develop and digitise in parallel .”
In both developing the IT infrastructure and adopting an agile way of working simultaneously , Klein feels this has proven key in maintaining operational clarity .
“ You have to have more of an entrepreneurial way of thinking and have an agile mindset towards developing software or solutions ,” he says . “ With the proper IT strategy behind us it becomes far easier to understand where to move , how to move and how to get people on board for changes . On our transformation journey we decided to focus on 5 areas – Agile way of working , Cloud , Automation , application replacements and Data ”
With a digital transformation , one could be forgiven for focusing entirely on the technologies and the solutions
