What is Digital Transformation and how can it benefit your business?

Digital transformation is integrating digital technologies across all areas of your business. This article will explain what it is and why you should implement it starting from your ERP.

It's 2023, people and their consumption habits are constantly evolving, and technology has been an ally in companies' growth and competitiveness to address these mutations through Digital Transformation.
 

Digital Transformation is the implementation of digital technologies across all areas of a company, from automating manufacturing processes to improving customer experiences.

But it's not just about implementing new technologies, it's about a mindset shift in organizations based on the following pillars: 


  • Customer experience: To remain competitive in a hyperconnected environment, providing extraordinary experiences to your customers should not be put off. Attend to them timely, sufficiently, and with a human touch. 

  • Collaborators: Keep in mind that your company is made up of humans. Train them so they don't feel threatened by the adoption of digital tools, and foster their professional growth. 

  • Adopting change: The efforts of Digital Transformation can bring resistance to change or confusion. Plan the integration of your new tools and provide the right environment for your employees to adopt them with the least friction possible.
  • Reward innovation: Invite your employees to innovate in their processes and share their findings. Take their ideas into consideration and implement them if you believe they are useful and replicable. 

  • Leading from the front: Department heads and corporate staff are the first ones who must get on board with Digital Transformation, only then can you ensure that the rest of the employees can assume it without fear.
     

  • Cultural change: Now you’ll have enthusiastic work teams with a desire to provide the best possible experience to your customers, to innovate in their specialty, and to adapt fearlessly to Digital Transformation.

The trend




The Digital Transformation of your company will involve challenges, but in the long run, it will allow you to remain a strong competitor in your field. Just to give an example, the survey "Digital Transformation: What Matters Most to European Hoteliers” showed that 3 out of 5 entrepreneurs in this sector considered themselves prepared for the transformation, while the remaining 2 encountered technical difficulties in achieving it. The main barriers to achieving it are resistance to change, but those who have implemented it have seen a positive impact on their revenues and operating costs.

Some benefits of joining the Digital Transformation trend:
 

  • Improve the operational efficiency of your company through process automation.

  • Digital Transformation can open up new business opportunities and even expand into new markets, such as creating e-commerce or selling virtual subscriptions.
