Digital Transformation: What is it and how can it help your business?

digital-transformation

With digital transformation, businesses can better serve their workforce and customers, giving them an edge over competitors. So why isn’t every business doing it?

Improving your business with tech is a large-scale project. The planning and implementation is simply too big for some… but it’s worth it.

What does digital transformation mean?

Digital transformation is more than introducing virtual meetings, it’s about rethinking how your business uses technology and systems to improve the performance of your business long-term. This could be automating customer services with an AI chatbot, or introducing new software to make a particular process easier for your team.

How can digital transformation help my business?

There are many ways digital transformation can improve your business, here are a few ideas to get you started:

Encourage collaborative working with Teams

You may use Teams to host or partake in meetings, but this tool offers so much more.

With instant chat, co-authored files, and document sharing, you can keep a project moving. Your team can work remotely, catch up on updates during commutes, and complete their actions from any location. It’s also a great way to break down silos as you can introduce guests to group chats and even encourage open chat for anyone to partake – a virtual staffroom if you will!

Make the most of your data

Harnessing data to its full potential is a missed opportunity for many businesses. With the misconception that data should be handled by analysis teams only, other employees miss out on receiving valuable feedback on the success of projects and the opportunity to share their views and ideas.

With a Microsoft app like Power BI, you can take stats and figures from numerous data sources and easily turn them into a coherent business insight suitable for all teams and colleagues to digest. Empowering your employees with data in this way is a sure way to improve planning to drive your business forward.

Gain security by moving to the cloud

Some businesses avoid migration to the cloud due to security concerns. However, your business data is actually safer on the cloud. Cloud services use far more complex security methods than your average PC user and all files are encrypted.

The other valuable benefit of migrating to the cloud is backups. Should files be lost as a result of a cyber attack or IT failure, your backups will be safe, and the recovery process will be simple.

Over 90% of businesses report significant improvements in their security since moving their systems to the cloud.
