Got a new job
Several weeks ago my boss advised me to take care of the implementation of the T-Systems outsourcing strategy. So, the job is to share some of our tasks with other colleagues from abroad. Of course such a task needs to be precisely planned in order to get my new colleagues ready for work.
Some concerns about what I was doing
Those days I wondered if this change of getting international is O.K. for my colleagues and me here in Germany. Because everyone might be some kind of afraid to give away knowledge to other countries. On the one hand this might be correct because I might loose my job if my current work is done somewhere else. But I think it is only half the truth. Let’s face it…

How is your work today? What are you doing? Are you involved in something great that will make a big difference in your customer’s life? Or are you just working on the next task from your list?

What about starting to think about your work, about everything you do. Can you see why you are doing it. Can you see a purpose in it? Or better, can you see the client in your work?

‘SAP Dynamic Services’ is not just a concept for the flexibility of the computational resources dedicated to SAP Instances. It is based on many of the most current technologies and reflects this point with the ‘Service Level Agreements’ for the Customers.
Very interesting are the SLA’s related to the speed of the execution of Service Requests: if one thinks to some of the features of the Storage Management in a classic SAP environment, finds out that the earnings in performance is surprising.

As stated in the blog from CEO Greg Gianforte there is a growing need for example for innovation communities or feedback communities.
This is also true for my boss, head of the Web Applications & Middleware department. At present he is really keen on connecting specialists (e.g., people with knowledge about middleware application servers) because he and I think that problems in such a field can be solved much easier and can be more effective rather than by many separated T-Systems departments located all over Europe for example.

There is a very close connection between Cloud Computing, Outsourcing and Transformation. Let me explain why. From a business perspective, cloud computing has potential benefits like:
- Pay per use, which is the ability to request resources according to the actual consumption / need. This could be translated into turning CAPEX into OPEX as computational resources are essentially rented and operational expenditures only apply for the provision of cloud services.
- Cost reduction for infrastructure & maintenance as the cloud environment is highly standardized and fully automated.
