Abstract
Due to the plethora of possible digital technologies, companies face difficulties in selecting appropriate technologies to innovate their business model. Therefore, we introduce PlanDigital: a software tool supporting the digital transformation. PlanDigital combines existing tools and concepts in an integrated manner to support the identification, evaluation, and selection of potential digitalization ideas. Thereby, the application helps practice and academia in managing digitalization ideas in the early phase of a company’s digital transformation. In the tool, the user models and organizes goals, the current business model, digitalization ideas, as well as digitalization roadmaps, which ultimately represent a company-specific digital transformation agenda. The paper accounts for the technological and visual design as well as the features of the tool.
