Using SAP Business One as a platform to digitise your business

In 2014, Forbes published an excellent article on the topic of “digital business”. At that time, the hyperconnected business was already a reality for many organisations in the retail, finance, manufacturing and other industries.

The promise of digital business is that a universe of applications and digitalized assets that work together almost automatically will allow very rapid development of new capabilities that will yield a competitive advantage.

A more recent report by Business Insider shows that emerging technologies, together with an increasingly connected world will revolutionise entire industries even more. How will this happen and to what extent these technologies will be accessible to small and medium-sized businesses?

Today, evolving technologies such as IoT, BI tools, Cloud Computing and Bots continue to rise the bar for companies looking to transform their operations and uncover further efficiencies. If on one side, large high-tech vendors are pioneering the digital economy, on the other side, even small players can now embark on a digital transformation journey, without breaking the bank.

 

Is digitisation on your agenda?

As your business grows, lying the foundation for a digital environment is key! Here are some of the areas that growing SMEs focus their attention on as part of their growth strategies:

  • Decision-making – Simplify the way you manage your business by gaining insights into key operational and strategic areas. Enabling a connected business means using the tools to eliminate “islands of information” and gain real-time visibility for improved decision-making.
  • Automation – Reducing manual intervention and streamlining processes help you reduce error and increase productivity.
  • Consolidation – Get all the areas of your business to communicate seamlessly and exchange critical information.
  • Harmonisation – If you are expanding into new geographies or developing new product categories, enable your subsidiaries to harmonise intercompany processes.
