Digitization has changed the way enterprises function. From hospitality to manufacturing, digitization has the potential to create numerous global opportunities for companies across the world. For example, digital competencies can dramatically improve the customer service experience, and E-commerce businesses can also benefit from a better customer-supplier experience.
Yet there is still so much untapped potential at an enterprise’s fingertips – and those advanced technologies are only going to grow, thanks to improvements in automation, analytics, and big data.
⇒ A New Industrial Revolution:
The first stage of the digital revolution is here – and it’s set to develop at a faster rate than the Industrial Revolution. You may have heard the word ‘digital transformation’, but trust us when we tell you that is more than just some business jargon.
Digital transformation must take place if you want to compete with your competitors. Take Amazon Business as a perfect example. Launching in 2015, the E-commerce platform enjoyed an incredible $1 billion in sales in its first year.
Digitization is also becoming more affordable for the modern entrepreneur. You only need to look at how 3D printing fell in price by 60% from 1994 to 2014 – and that’s not because it’s not popular because it is; it is thanks to the decreasing cost of the many new processing technologies, such as advanced robotics.
⇒ Industry Impact:
Many people believe digitization may only affect the likes of E-commerce businesses or marketing companies, but they couldn’t be more wrong. The new industrial revolution is taking place in most industries across the world.
The oil and gas industry is a perfect example. For instance, automated production control has the potential to either prevent or lessen disastrous events from taking place in the oil and gas industry, whilst improving production efficiency. Also, tracking can enable applications to monitor the condition of equipment, whilst offering support predictive maintenance and automated operation shutdowns. While radio frequency identification tags equipment to track their activity.
⇒ A Shift in Mindset:
A digital transformation is not limited to the implementation of new technologies. For a strategy to be successful, a company has no choice but to develop a digital mindset, which must be backed by the business leaders. It is important to ease any concerns a manager or employee might have about a digital future, because they may fear their role could be replaced with technology. So, showcase the many advantages of the digital strategy, so they will become more passionate about a digital future with the company.
⇒ Improved Collaboration:
Creativity and innovation is the cornerstone of the modern business. With improved technologies, such as workflow automation, improving a company’s efficiency, whilst platforms allowing employees to work on documents simultaneously, it has never been easier for departments to collaborate on various important projects.
Digitization is happening and it is happening right now. So, if you want to grow a company, it is time to grow your digital operations.
