What Is Digital Transformation?

As more and more business processes are digitized, the need for innovative strategy and management arises. Thus, digital transformation means integrating new or modifying existing processes into the world of a digital business to meet the requirements of the markets of today. Often shortened as VUCA, the present-day market environments can be described as

Volatile and extremely fast moving
Uncertain, future developments are difficult to predict
Complex, diverse, and vast
Ambiguous because all the information can be interpreted differently

To succeed under these conditions and manage such a transformation as a company, innovation and the right technology setup are key. As an expert partner in digital solutions, we at NTT DATA Business Solutions enable you to keep up with upcoming challenges and changes – and use them as opportunities. Therefore, we will give you an overview of the main areas of digital transformation, explain why they are important for your business’s success, and give you some project examples of digital transformation being put into practice.

Technology

Incorporating innovative technologies that is where the transformation begins. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. It is rather important that the new technology answers to the specific needs of your business and can be implemented step by step.

Data

Data is the fuel for digital transformation. When it is sorted by usability and relevance, categorized, analyzed and adapted to the IT functions and applications, it cannot only economize resources but also significantly improve digital business operations and generate value.

Processes

Digital transformation requires transparency and synchronization from end to end. Often, a rethinking of how to meet customer needs and how to manage workflows across silos is needed. Strong and all-encompassing process management can lead to a true transformation in all business areas.

Change Management

The success of implementing new structures and processes of digital transformation depends on the willingness to change. Naturally, change takes time, but it is the general capability and acceptance as well as an agile change management that is decisive for successful transformation.

Why Is Digital Transformation so Important?

The huge advantages and importance of digitalizing certain organizational processes cannot be emphasized enough. Such optimization provides you with answers for various emerging customer and business demands:

Digital process optimization saves costs as well as time, for example by managing complaints, verifications, and invoicing processes more efficiently.
The analysis and measuring of data can be improved. Also, with regard to logistics, tracking can be made easier.
While results are delivered faster, resources are minimized.

Greater efficiency and productivity are imminent.
Data security and cyber security protect your business on the digital level.
APIs can be connected smart and efficiently, for example with IoT technologies.
The meeting of sustainability goals and regulations is facilitated.
Solutions like multi cloud architectures reduce the complexity of the digital landscape.
A better overall user experience – for your own employees as well as customers – can be achieved.

How Do You Get Started?

Digital transformation is as individual as every business. The strategy for finding out how to future-proof your enterprise is rather simple: Identify the challenges and find respective answers and solutions. There is not one solution for all the problems at once. Therefore, we suggest a step-by-step approach with smaller projects. This way, the transition is a lot easier to handle and to integrate into the whole business structure as all business areas are affected by digital transformation.
