What is Digital Transformation?

Digital Transformation, sometimes referred to AS “DX” is a journey that an organisation embarks on, with a view to use technology to deliver better value and enhance profitable growth. Re-actively, a pro-active Digital Transformation approach can deliver the edge that you may seek against your competitors. It is not the technology alone, but more; a re-thinking of how technology can be leveraged within the business delivering positive process enhancements. Technology may be the enabler, but it is the people and their process that play the major part of the transformation. Technology for technologies sake will not deliver a strong result.

Where Do I Start?

Let’s start with the obvious one. The “Paperless office” or should we say “Less Paper Office”. Email communication, PDF’s, OCR technology and powerful search, retrieve and mobile document software all make it more realistic to cull the paper and work digitally. Apply this strategy to your business processes, and you’ll be returning efficiency to your business, and in turn, your customers.

What Should Be My Approach?

Leading with a partial approach or half considered plan can result in technology for technology’s sake. There needs to be a conscious realisation and a carefully considered plan, especially from the business decision makers, that change will deliver a purposeful difference to the outcome of the business. If the business drives the change in consultation with experienced IT specialists, a successful outcome will be achieved

How big is such a change?
