? Now no one should no longer doubt the need for enterprise digital transformation, enterprise digital transformation has become a subject related to the survival of enterprises. You do not transform, your competitors will be transformed, digital transformation after the enterprise enterprise productivity will be higher, less waste, less risk, and some even bring digital innovation revenue, in the enterprise facing the brutal competition clearly occupy the advantage, did not carry out the digital transformation of the enterprise will be at a disadvantage.
? The competition that many businesses face today often doesn't see to be from their own industry. Some companies were doing well in their own industry, not realizing that competitors across the border are often large and small, and become a big catfish in the industry. For example, Tesla builds cars, DDT operates rental car services, Audemars Piguet (Airbnb) is involved in the hotel business, Qingdao Kute cross-border output of business management, etc., are examples of cross-border competition. Nowadays, you do not make good digital transformation ready, not paying attention, even the opportunity to turn over.
Types of enterprise digital transformation
? There are two general types of enterprise digital transformation: digital business optimization and digital business transformation. The former does not change the existing revenue sources and business models, but only optimizes management, improves efficiency, open source and reduce costs, and prevents risks; while the latter may be a disruptor of the industry, it is often cross-border competition, and the revenue and business models will change.
? For most enterprises that have formed a scale, the first thing to do is the former, that is, digital business optimization. Along with digital optimization, companies must complete the construction of the digital center, and therefore lay a good foundation for the possible latter, i.e., digital business transformation. It can be said that in today's society, digital business optimization is a must, while digital business transformation is an option, because while transformation holds opportunities, it also hides great risks. You want to go to revolutionize the life of cross-industry competitors, but after all, the opponent has a head start on the industry, and if it is prepared in advance, I am afraid that the deer is still not certain.
Disciplines involved in enterprise digital transformation
? Both enterprise digital business optimization and enterprise digital business transformation is a complex subject, mainly because it involves the knowledge of three disciplines: 1, information management; 2, analytics (including BI ) and algorithms; 3, change leadership and management.
The first two of these disciplines are also related to IT, while the third belongs to the management discipline, which is about the change of organizational culture, the transformation of people's way of thinking, and changing people's management habits. On the information system, managers are often to drive subordinates to change, while the digital transformation is not only subordinates, may be more important is the manager himself.? Many organizations in the digital transformation of the road to go very difficult, especially when the organization's senior managers on the digital transformation of the difficulty of the lack of understanding, often such projects to IT to lead, that time IT often dusty, because it encountered resistance is huge, and this resistance is often not only conservative, often with offensive, and ultimately lead to IT themselves can not say where the problem is in the end.
BI is a very good way to get the most out of your business.
Building BI and analytics is the key to enterprise digital transformation
?Gartner's research shows that building effective BI and analytics is the key to digital transformation for today's enterprises. In the past twenty-five years, we live in the process of the rapid development of information technology (IT), we have built a large number of information systems, we improve the network, Internet,? We have purchased a large number of machines, however, we can but ignore those information systems behind the figures (or data), they are becoming a one by one silo, each in its own way, it is difficult for organizational managers to gain insight into the real situation of the enterprise, and can not provide effective decision-making support for the head of the department.
? Although we have entered the era of big data, people's awareness of data has been strengthened, are digging into the use of big data to create benefits, most of those big data is not high value density of data, and the real value of high density, is a large number of commercial and business management data accumulated in our information systems. This part of the data is well utilized, you can greatly improve the level of management and enhance the efficiency of the enterprise. This is why Gartner research thousands of enterprises, and finally concluded that: global and Chinese enterprises, whether the construction of advanced information technology, or medium, or backward, they agreed that BI and analytics is the most able to help their organizations to achieve the mission, increase the competitive advantage of IT technology.
? However, BI and analytics is not easy to do. That's because it often involves the digital transformation of an organization, which in turn involves management disciplines. Digital Poly is a leader in the field of BI and analytics applications, and it has taken the lead in setting up a digital management consulting department to provide digital management consulting services for enterprises that want to go on BI and analytics systems, and to help them realize the digital transformation of their enterprises by using information technology and big data.
