IT organizations cannot deliver on the promise of large-scale DBT initiatives if they are not agile and efficient themselves. That’s why Publicis Sapient offers a framework to improve the speed, quality and value of a company’s engineering.

“Modernization is the absolute, required table stakes to successfully execute transformation. It needs to be done not to solve a specific problem but overall to create a resilient organization that has sustainable innovation,” said Jason Steiner, senior vice president of strategy and consulting for Publicis Sapient. “The primary reason digital business transformations are failing is due to widespread immaturity across the IT organizations.  IT organizations must modernize now, and continuously, to deliver measurable business value in the digital world.  IT modernization is ultimately a pathway to successful digital business transformation.”

Engineering Transformation is a pathway to resilience. Digitally modernized companies can respond to crisis more effectively not because they placed the right bets or made the right decisions years ago, but because they were constructed to thrive in changing environments. They are primed to seize the opportunities available during good and bad times. 

Our program fundamentally changes engineering organizations. We restructure the organization’s design so that it’s product-aligned and value-driven. We apply interventions in engineering and cloud that address software development and IT – as well as application migration and architecture. We measure internal and external outcome-focused metrics. We remove siloes and foster a community of modernization so the changes endure and evolve.

Engineering Transformation is appropriate for organizations that have not started but would like to, have started but are ready to measure and optimize or have had success but need to scale and sustain.
