The software is becoming the center of gravity of the business. The speed is extremely accelerated. Companies that do not turn into digital companies are destined to disappear. But the transformation must involve the company, it is no longer simply buy a new packaged software solution or outsource to go with technology. We must involve the business. ”
From this point of life the key to transformation according to Software AG is that companies are “to know their business, not us. We – says Jost – we do software and created a map for the digital transformation of the companies that can modulate the types of actions depending on the goals. “

The reality is that the cloud is always there for us, as data security. So we want to put the emphasis on the concept of digital transformation, because this part also includes all that is now acquired. “
