What it BTaaS, and why is it needed?

Clients require business transformation to survive and thrive in today's fast-paced business environment. An effective business transformation process can help organisations pursue new innovation-driven opportunities and adapt to changes in the market. However, many enterprises require additional support to achieve the required transformation.

This is where Akeno, and BTaaS (Business Transformation as a Service), come in. Clients have described us as their “rudder”, steering them in the right direction, then their “engine” to accelerate progress, always working in partnership with suppliers and in-house teams to ensure a steady ship that’s ready for any adventure ahead.

Here are some benefits our clients have realised from our BTaaS approach:

1. Expertise and Specialisation
2. Cost-Effectiveness
3. Accelerated Transformation
4. Objectivity and Fresh Perspectives
5. Scalability and Flexibility
6. Focus on Core Business

Benefits of BTaaS – Benefit 1: Expertise & Specialism

As a continuation of our post on BTaaS, here’s more detail on the first benefit our clients have realised from our approach:

Expertise and Specialisation: Akeno are specialised in business transformation and possess deep expertise in strategic planning, process optimisation, change management, and technology implementation. We bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, helping businesses to navigate complex transformation initiatives with greater efficiency and effectiveness.

Benefits of BTaaS – Benefit 2: Cost Effectiveness

As a continuation of our post on BTaaS, here’s more detail on the second benefit our clients have realised from our approach:

Cost-Effectiveness: Outsourcing business transformation initiatives can be more cost-effective compared to building an in-house transformation team. Businesses can avoid the costs associated with hiring, training, and retaining specialised talent, and can streamline investment in technology and infrastructure. We offer flexible pricing models and service approaches, which allow our clients to align costs with their specific transformation needs and budget constraints.

Benefits of BTaaS – Benefit 3: Accelerated Transformation

As a continuation of our post on BTaaS, here’s more detail on the third benefit our clients have realised from our approach:

Accelerated Transformation: We are equipped with proven methodologies, tools, and best practices that can accelerate the pace of business transformation. We help businesses identify and prioritise areas for improvement, streamline processes, implement technology solutions, and drive change management initiatives more efficiently. This can result in faster time-to-market, improved competitiveness, and increased agility in responding to market changes.

Benefits of BTaaS – Benefit 4: Objectivity & Fresh Perspectives

As a continuation of our post on BTaaS, here’s more detail on the fourth benefit our clients have realised from our approach:

Objectivity and Fresh Perspectives: As an external partner, we bring an unbiased and fresh perspective to the business transformation process. We objectively assess the current state of the business, identify blind spots and areas for improvement, and challenge existing assumptions and practices. This can lead to innovative solutions and novel approaches that may not have been considered internally, resulting in more effective and impactful transformation outcomes.

Benefits of BTaaS – Benefit 5: Scalability & Flexibility

As a continuation of our post on BTaaS, here’s more detail on the fifth benefit our clients have realised from our approach:

Scalability and Flexibility: Akeno offer scalable and flexible solutions that can be tailored to the specific needs of a business. Whether it's a small-scale transformation initiative or a large-scale organisational overhaul, we adapt our services accordingly. This allows our clients to scale up or down their transformation efforts as needed, without being locked into long-term commitments or investments.

Benefits of BTaaS – Benefit 6: Focus on Core Business

As a continuation of our post on BTaaS, here’s more detail on the sixth and sixth (and final in this series) benefit our clients have realised from our approach:

Focus on Core Business: Outsourcing business transformation initiatives to a third-party provider allows the internal teams to stay focused on their core business operations, Akeno as the BTaaS Partner takes care of the most significant transformation efforts. We work collaboratively with your local teams to ensure that day-to-day operations are not disrupted, and core business goals continue to be met alongside the transformation agenda.

In summary, BTaaS can bring several benefits to a business, including access to expertise, cost-effectiveness, accelerated transformation, objectivity and fresh perspectives, scalability and flexibility, and the ability to focus on core business operations. However, it's important for businesses to carefully evaluate and select the right BTaaS Partner based on their specific needs and requirements to ensure a successful business transformation journey.
