4 2. Delivery 2.1 Context A Cloud based business model requires a fresh approach to how Technology Services are delivered within, and to, an organisation. The traditional processes, governance models, delivery skills and capabilities need to be modernised to support this shift. Organisations need to take a hard look at their current capabilities, identify the gaps, which need filling or enhancements that need to be made and create a robust roadmap to address these. IBM Sterling Order Management provides a centralised inventory, order promising and fulfilment hub facilitating omni-channel fulfilment. It helps enterprises increase fill rates and inventory turns, reduce markdowns, improve customer loyalty and increase profitability. 2.2 What we will deliver IBM software services experts help you connect people, processes and information seamlessly using our integration software.
