Innovate faster with cloud technology, a data strategy and digital capabilities

Those who want to innovate faster in today’s dynamic and rapidly evolving market have to keep learning and changing in line with customer experience, process and technology trends. These changes are necessary to find new ways to add value for customers, increase sales and optimize processes. For us, these changes involve balancing the use of cloud technology with a data strategy and digital capabilities. Together, these three things enable the process of digital transformation.  

 

Accelerate innovation with the cloud 

 

Most small and medium-sized businesses spend around 80 to 90% of their IT budget on keeping existing systems operational. This leaves little to invest in innovation. Innovation involves experimenting and ineffective experiments can be very expensive. With cloud technology it is possible to carry out experiments at low cost and pull the plug on experiments that fail to deliver. Cloud technology is indispensable for companies that want to grow. It is also a critical component of digital transformation.   

 

The cloud as accelerator at Dat.mobility 

 

Our customer Dat.mobility has discovered the potential of the cloud as an innovation accelerator. With AWS cloud technology the company can meet the needs of the market faster and with greater agility. Peter Kant, innovator, strategist and product owner at Dat.mobility:    

“Luminis helped us develop a digital transformation strategy that included transitioning to the AWS cloud. They guided us through everything involved, from securing internal and external stakeholder interests to identifying possible transition paths, designing conceptual (cloud) architectures, right-sizing and developing business cases. This enabled us to make the right decisions to better meet the needs of our customers.”   

 

The importance of a good data strategy   

 

In addition to transitioning to the cloud, for most businesses a good data strategy is essential to develop innovations. Smarter use of data is the key to success both now and in the future. So rather than looking at the applications used, we focus on the available data, because that’s where the real value is. Our modular data strategy ensures controlled data mobility so our customers can access the right data faster.   

 

From data to engagement with the energy transition at Omons   

 

Our customer Omons, an initiative to support citizen engagement with the energy transition, is a good example of how this can work. In each municipality, there are different priorities, rules and conditions. These include things such as tax rates and per-kWh price. Omons had to find a way to make a huge amount of data and complex calculations manageable for citizens and asked Luminis to help. There needed to be one platform that could be used by people in different municipalities, while also allowing for differences in legislation and regulations. Based on feedback from workshops, we developed a cloud-based solution that helps increase citizen engagement while identifying and communicating potential cost savings.    

 

AI translates science into reality at Whispp   

 

Whispp is a cloud-based speech-enhancement solution that enables people who stutter and those with a voice disorder to have a relaxed and (almost) fluent conversation.  Audio technology created with artificial intelligence digitally adjusts the sound of the speaker’s voice on a smartphone or laptop. Whispp can be used for live conversations as well as phone and video calls. Together with patient associations, medical specialists and universities, Luminis was involved in the creation of the product from the first study onwards. The process involved converting ideas and theories into a valuable speech-enhancement solution – one that is scalable.  

 

Digital capabilities – the missing link  

 

Digital transformation involves both technological and organizational change. In addition to implementing the necessary technology, in-house knowledge and expertise are also needed to keep innovating in the future. Addressing security, improving accessibility of data and implementing an Agile way of working to achieve value creation faster and more effectively are all key in this respect.    

To keep innovating at product level and provide customers with what they need, it’s important to keep growing your in-house knowledge and expertise. To help with this, we employ gamification of knowledge with Cloud: The Game and the Cloud Proficiency App and our Accelerate process, in which together with our partners we train the tech leaders of tomorrow.
