Digital transformation is becoming more important as disruption increases and other market forces impact. Several studies have shown:
- 27% of companies say digital transformation is a matter of survival.
- 87% of companies think digital will disrupt their industry, but only 44% are prepared for potential digital disruption.
- Of companies that haven’t started a digital transformation, 59% fear it might be too late.
For organisations that don’t need to undertake digital transformation, technology still plays a critical role in ensuring efficiency, staff satisfaction, and increasing their competitive advantage.
In a recent study by Gartner, “Sixty percent of workers said new software had occasionally or frequently frustrated them within the past 24 months, according to a new survey by Gartner, Inc. In fact, 56% of users said new software had made them wish management would bring the old system back.”
Consequently, taking a strategic approach to implementing and aligning technology is critical for most businesses.
Whether implementing new software or streamlining existing technology, an effective technology strategy will ensure the appropriate prioritisation and timeframes.
Emergent engages with a cross-section of staff to understand the complete technology landscape, integrations between the systems, maturity levels, and pain points. Based upon the technology landscape and input from stakeholders, we determine the best technology strategy and subsequently gain buy-in from all stakeholders before initiating a range of initiatives and projects to improve how effectively technology supports the organisation.
