Many firms, particularly small and medium businesses, have had digital transformation on their to-do lists for years, but it has often been disregarded, simply because the digital workplace is not considered to be an essential component for business success. However, since the outbreak, the pandemic has resurfaced as a major topic, prompting groups to step up their efforts. This indicates that by the end of 2022, every business owner needs to be concerned about digital transformation trends. Digital transformation can be implemented in a variety of ways, depending on the firm. Even though digital transformation has been on the rise recently, many firms are still hesitant to accept new technology owing to fear due to lack of information, and lack of resources.

Why does digital transformation matter?

Digital Transformation aims at improving the customer experience, which forms a crucial goal for any organization. It is defined as the incorporation of digital technology into all aspects of a business, resulting in substantial changes in how an organisation functions towards giving value to customers.

Rather than focusing on cost reduction, information technology has emerged as the key driver of company innovation. To embrace this transformation, everyone in the organization must reconsider the role and influence of IT in their daily lives.

Although IT will play a major role in driving the digital transformation plan, everyone is responsible for executing and adjusting to the massive changes that come with it. As a result, digital transformation needs to evolve the workforce mindset towards more digital culture and adoption. In this new normal set by the pandemic, organizations are rapidly reinventing business processes to enable smooth operations and service deliverability, empowering their workforce with an ecosystem of digital tools

The goal of data collection, ingestion and analysis should be to forge productive business relationships within and beyond natural work groups and to enable knowledge sharing across the organization.
