Corporate digitalization is becoming more and more present in every working reality. It is important to follow it to be competitive in the current market. There are approaches and technologies that can help overcome the first obstacles. We list them below.
Digitization: the most important things
First of all, we must ask ourselves if there are any investment areas that companies are focusing on to reorganize and digitize processes.
Investments must be divided into three points:
- the adoption of new technologies,
- use of new organizational models,
- business models.
The most popular technologies for the digital transition are cloud, mobile tools, big data analytics and cybersecurity programs. The business organization models use systems of continuous data collection and analysis in real time. In this regard, it is appropriate to follow the new management processes through the integration of software typical of the 4.0 industry. In this way it becomes easier and simpler to follow the production and increase the productivity of the company.
Furthermore, it is important to say that many of the new business models that have been consolidating in the last period and that favor the investments of companies, aim not only to preserve data but also to the importance of their use. This does not mean exploiting them only for the analysis of the behaviors and needs of the end user but also to understand how to use new channels and digital tools and to be able to create more personalized products and services, as well as to lead to a better management of the relationship with providers.
Already in the pre-Covid-19 phase, many companies had invested in digital technologies, but the demand increased after the pandemic, which forced a rethink of the working environment. The most popular technologies are: cloud solutions, mobile connectivity, optical fiber, management software, cyber-security.
There are also six applications, which are particularly in demand: Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data analysis, advanced automation / robotics, augmented or virtual reality, simulation and 3D printing.
The budget for digitization
The first thing to do before choosing the technologies is to identify the right budget for digitization projects. Innovation will require a huge expense of money and time, but it guarantees a huge return on investment in the short term and also in the long run. There are no concrete tools to measure this return, since it also provides intangible benefits such as, for example, approaching work with new attitudes, in order to make it more efficient.
Technology becomes a real cultural and methodical transformation of the way of working, thanks to technology as a factor that favors simplification and makes all company activities more agile, reducing risks, costs and increasing efficiency.
Virtualization
It is important to focus on one of the new technologies that are particularly in demand among modern businesses, namely virtualization. Recent data shows that 48% of companies are inclined to adopt corporate server virtualization systems. Specifically, desktop virtualization allows you to create independent workstations. In this way, it is possible to create virtual machines within a centralized server locally or in the cloud. Users can view their desktop from any device, so they can work anywhere.
Rely on the experts in the digitalization sector
Large companies can rely on experts to start with the digital transformation process. In fact, solutions such as ARXivar allow you to approach changes gradually, with the best support of professionals. In this way, it will be possible to develop a targeted strategy and achieve a high level of competitiveness and organization, managing constant document flows.
