Digital transformation means streamlining a company’s core operations and customer value propositions using technology. The COVID pandemic initially drove the trend toward digital transformation as a convenient way to make business easier. Today, however, digital transformation is more than just a convenience—it’s a requirement to survive in the competitive modern business world.
Challenges to Digital Transformation
An AIIM study found that five years ago, 22% of companies planned to begin digital transformation but had yet to start the process. In 2023, the number of organizations that still haven’t started their transformation has dropped to just 5%. What is holding these remaining companies back?
According to AIIM research, money is one of the primary challenges, but the benefits of digital transformation far outweigh any challenge. With the right system integration, your company can save thousands of productivity hours a week, so even if the cost appears to be an obstacle, it is quickly recouped. Still, for your digital transformation to be successful, it must be done correctly.
Integration Is Key
Since 2013, the number of content management systems within a company has grown from just over three to nearly five in 2023. While that is a big increase, according to AIIM, the most explosive growth has been in organizations using seven to ten systems, the number of which has risen from 3.6% in 2013 to 14.42% in 2023.
Even though an increased number of content systems may seem like a problem, this is not the case if the new systems integrate well with each other and the broader organization’s business applications and processes. A lack of integration, on the other hand, poses numerous challenges in areas such as privacy, information security, and overall governance and compliance.
System integration is the key to your company’s digital transformation success.
