Business Transformation Planning

Efficient and successful implementation of digital twins is not just a matter of developing or buying software, it also requires a holistic methodology that takes all relevant aspects into account.

Enterprise Architecture

Digital twins promise added value to your company. Enterprise architecture helps you understand digital twins’ role in your organisation in relation to other systems and services – necessary for robust and sustainable digital twins.

Enterprise Architecture – the details

The process we follow when architecting a digital twin within an existing EA is two way. It always starts with what we expect the digital twin to do. We call this the business layer.

Defining Value Cases

Value cases are the result of costs and benefits provided by digital twins as added value services to your organisation.

OT – IT for Operational Twin

A mature digital twin encompasses both operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) domains. Harmonised operation of both domains is crucial for digital twin functionality and integration of both domains, preferably based on standards.

Stakeholder Engagement

Because digital twins can be disruptive and are mostly implemented cross-domain, they affect many stakeholders. That’s why stakeholder engagement is crucial when implementing digital twins.

Maturity Models

A digital twin maturity model combines the functionality you want to achieve (from predictive insights to true transformation) with your organisation’s digital savviness and the level of automation you want to achieve.

Approach

Digital Twins can bring disruptive features to your organisation, your customers and other parties in your ecosystem. That’s why stakeholder engagement is key when implementing digital twins.
