How Innovation Delivery As a Service (IDAAS) Powers Our Digital Sherpa Methodology

Why comprehensive guidance beats piecemeal solutions every time!

════════════════════════════════════════

Recently we were asked by a manufacturing CTO: "What's the difference between buying technology and partnering with CBT?"

Our answer was simple: "We don't abandon you at base camp."

Most technology vendors follow a transactional model: demonstrate impressive capabilities, close the deal, deliver equipment, and move on to the next prospect. Meanwhile, you're left trying to navigate complex implementation challenges alone.

That's exactly why we developed Innovation Delivery As a Service (IDAAS) - to ensure no client gets lost in the technology noise.

The Problem with Traditional Technology Procurement

Here's what typically happens when organizations try to implement emerging technologies:

- Phase 1: Get excited about cool demos and purchase equipment
- Phase 2: Realize the technology doesn't integrate with existing systems  
- Phase 3: Struggle with adoption and user resistance
- Result: Expensive equipment sitting unused while ROI projections gather dust

Don't worry if you've been there and done that. 

You're not alone.

This fragmented approach is why the vast majority of industrial technology projects have failed to deliver expected results.

How IDAAS Changes the Game

Our Digital Sherpa approach recognizes that successful technology transformation requires comprehensive guidance through three distinct but connected phases:

Phase 1: Business Consulting & Quickstart Discovery
"Before we recommend any technology, we need to understand YOUR specific challenges."

We start by humanizing the process - putting faces to names and establishing trust through genuine consultation, not sales presentations.

Our formal Quickstart process uses design-thinking methodologies to:
- Listen to frontline workers about real operational challenges
- Identify specific business values that need addressing  
- Develop tailored solutions focused on YOUR operational reality
- Go beyond the cool to find what actually works in your environment

Real example: Instead of immediately recommending smart glasses, we discovered a client's real challenge was knowledge transfer between retiring and new technicians. The solution incorporated smart glasses but focused on capturing institutional knowledge.

Phase 2: Value-Added Reselling with Purpose
"We procure what you actually need, not what vendors want to sell."

Based on Phase 1 discoveries, we:
- Source all necessary hardware, software, and services
- Ensure compatibility across your technology ecosystem
- Provide long-term support for scaling from pilot to full deployment
- Maintain vendor relationships so you don't have to manage multiple partnerships

A key difference: We're vendor-agnostic, focusing on YOUR needs rather than pushing specific products.

Phase 3: System Integration for Real Results
"Technology only delivers value when it's properly implemented and adopted."

This is where most technology projects fail. Organizations assume that purchasing equipment equals successful implementation.

Our system integration ensures:
- All technology assets work together as designed
- User adoption through proper training and change management
- Performance monitoring to verify ROI projections
- Continuous optimization based on real-world usage

Why IDAAS Works with the Digital Sherpa Approach

Traditional vendors ask: "What technology do you want to buy?"

Digital Sherpas ask: "What operational challenge are you trying to solve?"

IDAAS provides the framework to:
- Navigate complexity through structured consulting
- Empower implementation with comprehensive procurement
- Deliver results through proper integration and adoption

Recent case study: A Fortune 500 transportation company engaged us for Connected Worker technology. Through our IDAAS approach, we discovered their real challenge wasn't just remote assistance - it was reducing vehicle downtime.

The result: $1.5M+ annual savings through solutions they never would have discovered with traditional technology procurement.

The Comprehensive Advantage

When you engage CBT's IDAAS approach, you get:

- A team of Digital Sherpas guiding your entire transformation journey
- Proven methodology that de-risks innovation investment
- Comprehensive solutions rather than piecemeal technology purchases
- Long-term partnership focused on scaling success

Most importantly: You never have to navigate the noise of digital transformation alone.
