What is Digital Transformation Consulting

What is digital transformation and digital transformation consulting?

Digital transformation is the application of new and evolving technology to improve business processes.

Digital transformation consulting helps organizations put these plans into action. It helps leaders in organizations figure out how technology impacts their business, and how to maximize the value of new processes and tools. Consultants also bring the knowledge and experience organizations need to connect technology and strategy.

When should companies invest in digital transformation consulting?

Digital transformation consulting is best for organizations that have the technology talent to support these efforts and some specific goals in mind. First, think about what changes you want to make inside your organization and what will be most beneficial to anyone that interacts with your business.

Then, if you have staffing gaps or are having a hard time filling technical roles, you’ll want to prioritize outsourcing or staff augmentation. Both of these things should take priority before shifting your focus to digital transformation and consulting.

How consulting helps companies form their digital transformation strategies?

Many leaders know they need to embrace new technologies and update their processes. That’s why 70% of companies either have a digital transformation strategy in place or are working on one.

However, there are many challenges that come with planning and then executing these strategies. That’s why more than 50% of digital transformation efforts fizzled out in 2018 and why the majority of digital transformation initiatives don’t meet their intended goals.

Digital transformation consulting gives you access to experienced professionals with a deep understanding of technology, people, and processes. This can help your organization achieve its goals with technology and avoid wasting time and money on unsuccessful digital transformation efforts.

How digital transformation consulting improves transformation efforts?

Digital transformation consulting can be extremely valuable to organizations as they work through the process. Consultants can bring many important things to the table that help organizations achieve success. Here’s a look at some of the ways consulting improves digital transformation.

External perspective
Digital transformation goes beyond tools and technology. It changes the way that everyone inside an organization works. That’s why getting an external perspective can be so valuable in digital transformation. It can be difficult to see pitfalls or even opportunities for growth from inside your organization. Consultants can often identify these things faster and help your organization navigate through them.
Agility
Digital transformation isn’t something your organization will work on for a single quarter or even a year. Technology is constantly evolving and organizations have to continue to evolve if they want to keep up with their competition. Digital transformation consultants can help you make the changes you need today and create a roadmap that will help you continue to adapt and reach your goals in the future.
True innovation

Innovation for the sake of innovation can’t drive real, meaningful change in your organization. Digital transformation consultants can help you prioritize and connect any changes you want to make to your goals and the results you want to achieve. This way, you can effectively make progress in your organization and create new processes that have a positive impact.

How to choose a partner?

Choosing the right digital transformation consulting company is not a simple task. However, knowing what to look for can make this easier. Here’s what you need to look for before investing in digital transformation consulting.

Technical capabilities
Technology is at the core of digital transformation. For this reason, it is critical to understand how much technical knowledge they have and how they approach digital solutions. You need a partner that has the technical knowledge to support your specific needs.
Industry expertise
Before choosing a partner for digital transformation consulting, you should also understand their industry expertise. You want to work with a company that can guide you to the technology and processes that make sense for the way your industry and organization operates. This means that ideally, you should choose a partner with both the industry expertise and technical expertise to drive change in your company.
Processes

Processes play an extremely important role in digital transformation consulting. Here at Unosquare, we believe that the secret to great technology project consulting is an organized and efficient process that aligns with our customer requirements and ensure customer satisfaction. You should look for a partner that has defined their process and has a proven track record of success with digital transformation initiatives.
