Evolution: The Fourth Stage of Accelalpha’s Approach to Digital Transformation
So, you've made it through your digital transformation implementation. Congratulations! You might be surprised at how quickly your organization will start seeing the benefits from the months of hard work you and your implementation team have put into this endeavor. However, it's essential to understand that the transition doesn't end on the go-live date.
Remember that just as we grow as humans from infants to adulthood, change is constant. That same principle also applies to digital transformations. As a result, continuous evolution will end up being just as important as the overall digital transformation itself.
What is Continuous Evolution?
When you were choosing your implementation partner for your initial digital transformation, you were most likely aware that this strategic decision would facilitate not only your digital transformation but also be the beginning of a lifelong partnership. For example, as your organization changes over time, you will be confident in the knowledge that you and your team have your partner by your side to advise and help maintain the health of your applications and how the implemented solution will continue to function.
Accelalpha's Continuous Evolution (ACE) Services ensure that your solution will scale and evolve to meet your changing organizational needs. This also means that we can help you manage your Oracle cloud applications during and after the implementation to reduce IT spending through automation and innovation. As a result, you can always come to your Accelalpha partner with questions, application health checks, and receive guidance on new solutions that may need to be adopted down the road as your business needs change.
Roadmap to Success
New business challenges will create a need for new functionality, which can be met with the Oracle solution. When it comes to cost savings, there may be times when you can get more value out of the additional functionality. That's why we help you build a roadmap for future releases of Oracle software.
Once you go live, patch testing becomes a critical component of application management. We help you define and maintain an automated testing process that is crucial to the system's continued growth.
Bring Out the Best in Your Business
Adopting Oracle Cloud solutions makes it possible for organizations to tap into vital data and other resources that can improve decision making, product design and build, planning, finances, and future training.
The beauty of continuous evolution is that organizations can utilize the potential of the cloud to improve current and future operations without having to start from scratch every time the organization changes. The Oracle Cloud gives you the freedom to utilize only the solutions that your company currently needs.
Why Evolving Matters
As the business benefits from the cloud migration, you can add more solutions to the list of solutions you are currently using. Tackle new problems that arise during growth periods without having to start from the beginning again. You can do this through continuous evolution efforts as advised by your implementation partner.
The cloud mindset requires that you continually update your solution, so it doesn't get stale. Look at where your business is going and work to align your solution with the company's direction. Traditional managed services are reactive, and only focus on keeping the lights on and fixing problems.

Embracing the Future
The Oxford Dictionary definition of evolution is "the gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form." Changing and evolving is a story as old as time itself, and that alone should bring some comfort to a concept that typically makes people nervous or resistant. Once you embrace change, you can then create a plan that helps you navigate with confidence and use change to your organization's advantage.
