Intro The promise of the digital transformation is real - but the transition from an enterprise with IT to an IT-driven company is daunting.

Mobile & Beyond Mobile and smart devices have changed the way we work and how we interact with partners, customers, and colleagues. With the arrival of the connected-car, wearables, and the Internet of Things (IoT) it s clear that the digital transformation has begun. Ericsson, a leader in communications technology, stated in their mobility report that smartphones alone will see an enormous increase in usage in the coming years rising from 2.6 billion users in 2014 to 6.5 billion by 2020. With smartphones and other emerging end-user devices, enterprises are now realizing the opportunity these new technologies have to offer: better customer-service, increased revenue at lower costs, more productive and satisfied employees. In order to adapt their business models and even design new ones, companies require a platform that enables them to quickly create new mobile and digital processes while integrating their existing IT. 70 percent of world s population using smartphones by 2020 - Ericsson Mobility Report, June 2015 apiomat is featured in the market overview of the Gartner analysts as ranking equal with the established IBM, Microsoft, Oracle or SAP solutions.
