To approach a global business accounting in a company, key performance indicators and metrics are needed. In the case of technology transformation, implementation or innovation processes, achievements should be measured to justify the investment in technology.
Account your technology readiness level (TRL) and the impact will have in the market penetration. FVC provides you a framework of industry specific key performance indicators for your business model.
Is the technology matured enough on my go to market strategy? Do I need to deploy new markets for technology implementation? Do I arrive early, in time or late for a specific technological use case?
Technology has become a vehicle for transformation in every stage of our lives. Companies have profited from this transformation in their internal processes and have used the technology to improve and create new products and services. Therefore, technology accounting helps you to get full value from your technology investments.
Future technologies will allow you and your competitors to overcome market entrance barriers, e.g. economies of scale, product differentiation, capital requirements, cost disadvantages independent of size, access to distribution channels or government policy.
In FVC we help you to identify the right future technologies for competitive advantage in many different functional areas such as business development, productions, logistics, services, and marketing and sales.
Map the technology direction of your organization. The identified, selected and evaluated technologies can serve as threats or opportunities for the future of the company. Use FCV’s technology radar analysis to manage and make strategic decisions in which technology has a relevant role.
Identify, scrutinize, and sort large numbers of different technologies from the whole technology radar landscape, including those that are in their very early infancy. Refine them according to your projects needs and only the best, most viable technologies, will remain whilst the others are filtered out. As well as working out viability, it’s a great way of prioritizing technology objectives.
Draw your process of long-term planning of a project’s objectives in conjunction with your technology stack. It’s a visual representation of the technology choices mapped into your development strategy in a typical timeline view.

Agility is a strategic characteristic that is becoming increasingly important to successful companies. In this context, agility denotes the ability to implement changes in the company in real-time, including fundamental systemic changes to the company’s business model, for example.
The significance of advanced industry lies in the key role of information processing in enabling rapid organizational adaptation processes. The faster an organization can adapt to an event that causes a change in its circumstances, the greater the benefits of the adaptation.
The road towards advanced industry will be different for every company. It is necessary to begin by analyzing each company’s current situation and goals. Questions concerning the company’s current situation include what its strategic objectives are for the next few years, what technologies and systems are already implemented and how they operate within the company.
The maturity index approach is based on a succession of maturity stages, i.e. value-based development levels that help companies navigate their way through every stage in the transformation, from the basic requirements for advanced industry to full implementation.
Each structural area has two principles running across it that serve as a guide for its continued development:
• Resources
• Information systems
• Organizational structure
• Culture
The specific maturity stage of each capability may be different for different functional areas and the business processes contained within them. In the following sections, the vision of a learning, agile company is applied to the five functional areas:
• Development
• Production
• Logistics
• Services
