In nature and business, change is the prevailing constant. This booklet, Escape the Change Dilemma – Transformation to a Smart Data-Driven World, draws attention to the continual change in the world of data, the underlying foundation for the larger-scale digital business transformation. The JiVS Information Management Platform sits front and center, setting the stage for company leaders such as the CEO, the CFO, the CIO, and the COO. Furthermore, the leaders' specific dilemmas they have to overcome are described. This publication offers so-called Escape Routes from all these exposed dilemmas, and as such, it provides a hands-on cookbook for digital data transformation scenarios. The chief roles of corporate leadership and business and IT leaders of smaller companies, decision-makers, and program leaders tasked with the digital data transformation topic gain significant insight. The digital transformation challenges in large and complex organizations are multifold. The biggest challenge, however, is the legacy challenge. Often preserving the past, many large corporations go in small incremental change steps rather than dramatically change and potentially disrupt business execution's status quo. Considering the massive, gathered data across all the legacy systems, wouldn't it be wishful thinking to consolidate all the data into one central source of truth and getting rid of the old systems? No, it's not wishful thinking. This booklet will explain how corporations can quickly transform data reliably and securely at the push of a button. Numerous Dilemmas of Change exist that Graesser explains and breaks down for the most senior leadership roles within companies. As the corporation's overall leader, the CEO needs to decide business matters every day, despite sometimes facing significant knowledge gaps in certain areas. The booklet describes the CEO's five most significant dilemmas along with its Escape Routes that guide the way out of the challenges. The CFO's digital data journey's viewpoints center around the compelling business case to decommission old IT systems. And when it comes to Information Technology, the CIO has to escape several dilemmas, too. A compelling hands-on implementation framework for Digital Transformation allows the CIO to conquer the driver's seat in no time. Escape the Change Dilemma concludes with hands-on advice to implement data transformation and presents the JiVS Implementation Methodology called 'From Vision to Operation.' In summary, Escape the Change Dilemma provides how-to-guides for getting out of digital dilemmas, written for companies' top managers and business leaders. The readers learn about data platforms such as JiVS IMP to kickstart larger corporations' digital journeys and smaller and medium-sized companies.

The value of enterprises' core data shines like crown jewels that absolutely demand protection and safety. Graesser illustrates how to manage business data rightfully, and he explains the full data life cycle management with a focus on the historization of old data in terms of preservation and protection. The heart of the book consists of two chapters with in-depth explanations of technical platforms needed to conquer the Big Data challenges. The SAP HANA 2.0 platform, with its in-memory database, transforms the meaning of and the value out of Big Data with many advanced analytical capabilities. The Historization platform JiVS IMP by Data Migration International complements the operational enterprise systems with sophisticated data transformation capabilities realizing major value scenarios. In combination, both platforms together allow significant simplification of data management for real-time data business models. Strategic thinking and developing strategies, in principle, is an art more than 2,500 years old. From Battlefield to Greenfield, "The Transformers" bridges the time-gap from ancient China with its famous war strategist Sun Tzu who lived around 500 BC, to the digital era today. The fighting happened then, and it happens today in business with arms, battlegrounds, and warriors. Graesser provides significant insights on how to plan victories and to win battles even without fighting. The visions and strategies are substantial and have never moved out of the central attention of leaders. You can touch and feel Digital Business Transformation with stories about the digital journeys of enterprises across different industries. And the book closes with the 'Tips from the Top' chapter. It features Thomas Failer (founder of Data Migration International), Bjoern Braemer (Senior Vice president at SAP SE), Peter Hartmann (former CIO of the Geberit Group), and Tom Pfister (CEO Nytro Marketing). The book's audiences include C-suite business leaders and will appeal to all decision-makers who drive transformational business or Information Technology programs.

This new novel continues the electrifying saga that started with Transformers: Exodus, unveiling the origins of the conflict—the explosive events that unfolded before Optimus and Megatron arrived Earthside, forever altering the destiny of their kind. Once allies, Optimus and Megatron are now enemies in a civil war. To prevent Cybertron from falling into Megatron’s hands, Optimus jettisons the planet’s heart, the AllSpark, into space, then sets out to find it with Megatron hot on his heels. Optimus is determined to defeat Megatron, bring the AllSpark home, and restore Cybertron to its former glory. But a saboteur lurks aboard Optimus’s spaceship, and ahead lie lost colonies, some of them hostile. Optimus needs help of the highest caliber, but from whom? Heroes such as Solus, Nexus, and Vector Prime are just names from make-believe stories of long ago. Or are they? Maybe it’s time for Optimus Prime to find out. Maybe it’s the only chance he has to vanquish mighty Megatron.
