It all started in Vienna with a renowned family business that was successfully managed by the third generation. Over the years, numerous divisions had accumulated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a medical technology, steel trade, construction machinery leasing, a cable production and others. When the accounting program programmed in Vienna and implemented on a Wang computer system collapsed, I came into the picture and recommended SAP R\/3 quite classically on IBM RS\/6000 with AIX and an Oracle database.<\/p><div id=\"great-2999950372\" class=\"great-fullsize-content-en\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6yfv7eho3Gc\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Fullsize\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150.jpg\" alt=\"Fullsize\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-400x50.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-768x96.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-100x13.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-480x60.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-640x80.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-720x90.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-960x120.jpg 960w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-1168x146.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-18x2.jpg 18w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26_04_08_1200x150-600x75.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"150\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Success arose from the positive state: Knowing what is happening! Many years later, in the midst of the digital transformation, this parameter has not changed - success still depends on knowing what is happening. The digital transformation is changing the corporate structure and process organization, but success is based on information and knowledge. The reward is a better position in the market, lower costs, more satisfied customers, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former SAP executive Andreas Graesser explains the transformation cycle to success in his latest book \"<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/e-3.us14.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=8f865063fa35024957450a862&amp;id=51f0c1e287&amp;e=b3ea71d411\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Transformers. Simplification Strategies for the Digital Enterprise<\/a><\/strong>\". A reading recommendation from the E-3 editorial team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have the pleasure of leading a webinar on the topic of the book in a week's time with Jean-Claude Flury, CIO V-ZUG AG and board member of DSAG Switzerland, and Felix Bodmer, board member and former Group CFO Arbonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are launching a discourse on the obligation for everyone to know what is happening in the digital transformation - this applies in a very special way to the C-level, but just as intensively to all downstream staff units. Knowing what is happening in the digital transformation, what the change to the intelligent enterprise is doing, is available free of charge in the webinar next week.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/e-3.us14.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=8f865063fa35024957450a862&amp;id=58a16b32bb&amp;e=b3ea71d411\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>you can register here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seit etwa 25 Jahren besch\u00e4ftige ich mich intensiv mit dem Thema SAP.
