As billions of tech devices come online over the next few decades, the age of the Internet of Things is arriving now. Interconnectedness is driving industry disruption, as well as launching new career fields. Companies must be able to engage in the transforming efforts to keep ahead of the curve. According to IDC, over the next year, half of global Small-to-Medium Businesses (SMB) will view Digital transformation as the cornerstone of growth opportunities. IDC, the leading provider of market intelligence and advisory services, information technology events, and data-driven analysis offers valuable insights that can assist in a company’s endeavor to grow in the digital realm.

As technology evolves, so do the underlying ideas. Mastering this technology is crucial for all companies, no matter the size. SMBs, however, do face challenges since they do not have the resources to bring to bear that a multinational company may. So, it is vital that they leverage what they do have to stay competitive.

The resource shows a clear guideline for how to adopt a strategy of digital enhancements, including the role that cloud ERP services perform and how they help jumpstart business innovation and growth.

A Fresh View on Transformation

According to IDC, SMBs with legacy systems need to experience the freedom that cloud ERP brings. This means that SMBs, like the 50% planning to do so in the next year—must embrace Digital Transformation to stay competitive. The industry is changing, and not changing with it can cause catastrophic opportunity costs.

It is fortunate then that when it comes to Cloud Services, the marketplace is full of competitive products. That means a business is entirely sure to find a product that is the right fit for its workflows and practices. Vendors are also dedicated to providing customized services. IDC clearly demonstrates the key aspects of cloud services.

IDC’s analysis has proven that cloud services play a crucial role in industry success by enabling a digital transformation. According to them, SMBs that develop a company culture embracing digital transformation can generate a massive return on investment.

It is therefore essential that companies launching these programs receive buy-in from every level of the business and ensure that the workflow teams understand why adopting digital technologies, cloud ERP software and emerging technologies is essential for being able to exchange data across the organization (and using that information to make strategic, effective decisions), meet customers’ expectations, and innovate their products.

Mangers must understand that disruptions caused by cloud and SaaS implementations, as well as ERP systems, will ultimately bring growth in the business’ primary sector. By automating workflow tasks, it allows a business to focus on its primary mission and developments. This is especially vital for SMBs in order to work with limited budgets in many cases.
