How to Drive Digital Transformation Using ITONICS

In today's fast-paced business landscape, digital transformation has become a critical factor for companies looking to stay ahead of the game. But where do you start? In this article, we show how to usher digital transformation with the ITONICS Innovation OS, using the example of Siemens Energy.

Digital transformation presents an opportunity for organizations worldwide to facilitate collaboration and innovation, generate new revenue streams, and increase efficiency and productivity through the adoption of technologies such as Web3, 5G mobility, and the Internet of Things. However, it also presents a risk as those who do not adapt quickly to these technological shifts may face demise in the market. As the World Economic Forum research states, around 87% of businesses state that digital transformation will disrupt their industry, but only 50% are prepared for it.

At ITONICS we believe organizations should keep a grip on change happening on the horizon by continuously understanding drivers of change and finessing their innovation strategy to future-proof their business.

Our Innovation OS provides organizations with the tools to accelerate digitalization and innovation internally and to keep up with change by scanning, analyzing, and preparing for new threats and opportunities. 

Let us show you how.

How Siemens Energy is using ITONICS as a vehicle for digital transformation and innovation

The business landscape at Siemens Energy is influenced by digitalization, cybersecurity risks, ongoing transformation through innovation, and a constantly changing market environment, requiring continuous monitoring. With their “Orbit Ecosystem” powered by ITONICS, Siemens Energy introduced a digital platform that offers project, strategy, and portfolio views, as well as innovation and trend scouting features, to assist teams in scanning and analyzing technical trends and threats, prioritizing and managing running and planned innovation activities, and ultimately succeeding in the dynamic energy market.

Siemens Energy’s Orbit Ecosystem is split into three focus areas:

  • The Cybersecurity Orbit prepares Siemens Energy for a cyber-resilient future by allowing teams to scan, analyze, and prepare for new threats and trends.
  • The Innovation Orbit channels collective intelligence to create transparency of innovation processes, topics, and ideas.
  • The Digitalization Orbit accelerates digital transformation to generate business.

The platform works as the digital backbone of all topics related to internal digitalization targeting profitability increase, innovation, and cybersecurity. It serves as a go-to space for collecting and enriching information, enabling idea generators, innovators, and experts to drive solution concepts.
