KEYNOTE: The information enabled company – a long way to digital transformation
Digital transformation is in a way a never-ending journey. Recent trends put high expectations on AI technologies for process automation, insight generation and decision support. In Hilti, we see information generated from our data as substantial contribution to the success of our business.
We will describe how we put the user and the usage of information in the center of our initiative of an information enabled company. Hilti’s journey towards process, data and system consolidation serves as an excellent foundation for that. We present the foundational technologies we put in place to manage the increasing amount and variety of data, as well as our “Integrated Information Management” approach. We will especially focus on advanced analytics and AI and give examples for successful implementations, but also highlight challenges, especially when it comes to change management and taking the organization along.
