Digital Transformation for business

How your business should be positioned in the new digital normal.

The business transformation that leaders envisioned to occur five years hence is now about to show up in the coming quarter. The chaos triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic has caused trillions of dollars worth of economic disruption.

The ball is now again the court of business leaders. They must now choose to hold onto established practices, the effects of which are now waning or decide to accelerate through the chaos aided by the practicality and necessity of Digital Business Transformation.

According to a 2018 survey by Tech Pro Research, 70 percent of survey respondents said that their companies either have a digital transformation strategy in place or are working on one.

Today technology holds incomparable weight, dictating business operations, management of data and, even the way employees engage with customers. Technology also controls how consumers perceive and buy a product or service. In the age of automation, if a company cannot incorporate business transformation by investing in technology, it could result in serious setbacks.

Thus it is recommended to approach a digital transformation consulting firm that understands your business and accordingly provides digital solutions.

Common questions raised by business leaders are

  1. How do I start my digital transformation journey?

  2. What steps should I take to ensure the solidarity of my business?

From remote work to hiring dedicated developers offshore to agility and then on to aligned software creation, we present the path for business leaders to accelerate through the chaos.

The Right Path to Accelerate Your Digital Transformation

1. Remodel your data

Data powers modern business. This means that companies must transform their stagnant data into an asset. Without data that is relevant and accessible, improving decisions, customer experience and fuelling growth is very difficult.

Data audits of what data is available, how it is accessed, and for what purpose, have graduated from being a no-regret decision to a condition for the enterprise’s survival. Enterprises can choose either to work with what they have, while running the risk of turning obsolete, or they can take the data powered highway and level up. A few spheres where data is of value are: -

  1. Employee productivity

  2. Market opportunities

  3. Reduction of bottlenecks and gridlock

  4. Empowering decisions

It isn’t easy to transform data into business value. It requires deep resources, expertise as well as much harder work than expected.

Here is where we step in. Enabling companies in knowing their data and then being able to locate and access relevant information when needed, is how we assist our customers at Radixweb every day.

2. Break the shackles of legacy applications

In facing the business pressures stemming from the New Digital Normal, heritage software estates are proving to be brittle, expensive and unfortunately, unsustainable. Consumer relevance, accelerated TTM and overall cost savings are of vital importance. Corporations might feel trapped by their legacy software. Luckily, there are new tools, processes, methods, and partners to help increase value by legacy modernization.

3. Modernize how your employees work

One of the monoliths of the New Digital Normal is remote work. The pandemic has served as a catalyst for the deployment of a remote workforce. It is forecasted that large portions of the workforce might not return to a traditional office and might wish to continue working remotely.

This situation is favorable since thousands of working hours spent on commutes will be saved, not to mention the spike in productivity. According to a Survey by CoSo cloud, 77% of Remote employees report higher productivity and are 52% less likely to take time off.

Enterprises should embrace this opportunity. Actionable areas are- better control of off-premise devices that access corporate environments, and the leveraging of communication tools to keep information flowing.

If you, as a company, want a fast, reliable, authentic work experience while avoiding the hassles of hiring and maintaining an in-house development team allowing for you to focus on your core-business, you could even hire a remote team.

5. Prioritize agility

Agility is the capability of capturing the pulse of change and accepting that it is more about “acting in time” rather than “being right.” Agility impacts the formation of the enterprise’s strategy as well as how the enterprise transfers ownership to its workforce, empowering them to take responsibility.

Beyond the disruption of the pandemic, the changing business environment requires speed, innovation on the go and the need to scale. The business ecosystem has now entered the new digital normal and strategies for running, changing and staffing an enterprise need to reflect this shift to stay relevant. The right financials, the right tools and proper staffing are vital.
