For a few years now, “digital transformation” has been a buzzword in the IT and business worlds. This is indeed a hot topic lately: digital transformation is even at the heart of government concerns, but it’s not always clear what it even refers to. JOVACO explains what digital transformation is, and offers a few resources to help you kickstart the process within your own organization.
What is digital transformation?
Digital transformation refers to the incorporation of technological tools within businesses and organizations to help them perform better. It is often used to mean business management systems of all sorts and can refer to anything in a wide array of software that includes CRM and ERP management solutions, e-commerce or supply chain solutions, business intelligence tools, industry-specific tools, etc.
By adopting these tools and redefining their processes, businesses can increase their productivity and efficiency, reduce their costs, and in turn keep their edge in a market increasingly more connected and competitive.
How to kickstart your organization’s digital transformation?
One of the main obstacles to digital transformation is the capital necessary to implement technological tools. However, governments are investing more and more to make sure businesses in Quebec and Canada can leverage them. Indeed, the economy of the country as a whole would benefit from this transformation. Several financial aid and tax credit programs are in place to this end, which means now is a good time to start this process within your organization.
To help you, JOVACO maintains a list of the main financial aid programs currently available.
