Let me explain you in simple terms about how an organization should improve in each of this facet :

Customer-centric

It means Customer experience and satisfaction becomes the absolute core of your organization. It also sets the scope for data collection and the other pillars of DXaas. From each and every touchpoint you can predict the customer's buyer personas, best interest, values they follow, behavior, location, personal details etc., from which you can use the customer-centricity to get benefitted by understanding your customer and their needs well.

Data-centric

Data is the key to succeed in any firm. Similarly in DXaaS, it's success largely depends on data collection, cleansing, accessing, reporting and data visualization. So you should focus more on insights, optimization and innovation by creating new and enhanced data. A Chief Data Officer is provided with large responsibilities to understand and provide the large collection of data in a sensible and understandable way.

Strategy

So the firms who wants to get into DXaaS should establish very clear and strong strategies which are not only functional or business level but also to an enterprise level. By this any issue which affects the entire organization can be solved. It also helps the organization in enterprise level strategy which will makes the leaders to collaborate and data and respective units and to mobilize it digitally. This strategy is very important to succeed as a whole organization in DXaaS.

Culture

Lastly the important final facet which bring success to DXaaS is the Culture we establish. It includes the beliefs, practices and values followed by the people in the firm. Talking about today's technological world the continuously changing landscape, remote-work culture which has to  include several years of investment but even though reaching the targets become extremely hard. So a culture where stable and consistent continuous optimization, innovations, enhancements, adjustments has to be employed for increasing the betterment for attaining the firm's goal and to improve the DXaaS practices the organization follows.

Following these four facets any organization can surely invest in SAP and get converted to DXaaS  and earn huge amount of gains, provided understanding the solution to be incorporated, and the facets properly.
