Success Stories

Successful Digital Transformation with Shiftconnector^®

According to Gartner, 80% of IT projects are deemed failures by businesses, leading to cost overruns, missed deadlines, and unmet expectations. Digitalization projects often falter when the focus is solely on technology, neglecting the human element. A successful digitalization initiative starts by prioritizing people, addressing their concerns, and involving them in both the planning and execution phases.

"You need to understand the problem you're solving, and the people impacted. Involve them in selection. This increases acceptance and ownership." Gene Shields, CIO Ascensus

Discover the experiences of our customers Kaneka, ICL Group and Bayer Crop Sciences on their journey to digitalization and learn how Shiftconnector^® has supported them along the way.
