Digitalisation and digital transformation is a major challenge for every company, regardless of whether it is a large corporation, start-up or medium-sized business. This is because the associated changes are extensive and wide-ranging. Despite this, many companies are still acting according to the principle of “trial and error”. In view of the potential for change, this is perfectly understandable on the one hand, but fundamentally far too inefficient. Successful implementation requires a process-based approach to the digitalisation of the value chain.
What exactly does digital transformation involve?
VR, AI, ML… Digitalisation is versatile and multi-layered. From AR (augmented reality) as a fusion of the real and virtual worlds to the flexible realisation of individual customer requirements/wishes. The fields of action are as multifaceted as the market itself. We are talking about the digitalisation of production, intelligent networking of players (manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, buyers, etc.), etc. We are talking about greater transparency in the availability of all real-time data.
However, they all have one thing in common: the first priority should always be to develop a game plan; to formulate a digitalisation strategy that can then be expanded step by step with implementation and integration plans. This is the only way to achieve a successful, forward-looking and prospective digital transformation.
Digitalisation in SMEs – what do we recommend?
Small and medium-sized companies in particular can only counter the ever-increasing time and cost pressures and growing complexity if they increase their transparency, efficiency and speed.
Kein Unternehmen, ob groß oder klein, kann sich der digitalen Transformation entziehen. The expectations of customers, partners, employees and the market dictate that you have to adapt your own business processes to the new, digital age.
SMEs are quite technology-driven/conscious from the outset. SMEs therefore tend to have greater potential. And this is exactly what companies should build on; utilising their own advantages directly. On the one hand, digitalisation clearly offers the opportunity to open up new business areas or expand existing ones; on the other hand, there is enormous potential for efficiency in value creation.
Entrepreneurs need to be aware of one thing: sooner or later, the only way for their company to gain a competitive edge is via the cloud. The aim is to make successful IT infrastructures and applications more efficient, cost-effective and secure through cloud migration. At the same time, however, resources, employees, data and processes must be connected in a new, uncomplicated, mobile and flexible way.

Digitalisation has changed the way we work, communicate and interact. It requires completely new business models for companies. Digitalisation presents entrepreneurs with the same challenge: how do we manage the gradual transition into the digital age?
“Today, every company is a software company. You have to think and act like a digital company. It is no longer enough to simply find a solution and implement it. It’s not about a simple software solution. It’s more about the fact that the future of every company lies in digitalisation.”
– Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft
