The basic requirement for successful business activities
as producer or trader of consumer goods and services is the
understanding of the customer's demands. Afterwards this knowledge
must subsequently be used to deliver attractive offers for
the market. This basic rule of the consumer goods industry
still applies while consumers and the consumer goods market
are changing faster and faster.
The structure of the Industry, however, has changed - producer,
trader and Service Company find themselves face to face with
a new and changing competitive environment.
Consumers are increasingly becoming more complex and more
demanding. Thus the success of business strategies cannot
be measured by market shares alone.
The decisive factor of success or failures will be whether
the producer, trader or Service Company can meet the complete
demand of the consumer. Consumer goods producers and complete
product range meet competitors who are specialized in certain
parts of the value chain.
Thus
the challenge is:
·
Existence of New orientation within the changed
market.
· Recognition of ones own core competencies
and extensions
· Passing on of unprofitable parts
of the value chain
· Looking for cooperation with partners
where mutual use is possible
In such complex environment better use
of IT - the simple implementation of a standard
software is neither sufficient nor a permanent guarantee
for holding the market position. Intelligent IT-systems,
which support the business strategy and new business
models in a flexible and completely integrated way
and connect it with the operative business, are
necessary for a competitive business use.

of the strategy within the IT-infrastructure. An
