Want to Succeed in Digital Transformation? Choose the Right Technology Partner 24 June 2019 www.gatewaydigital. de We are moving towards an ultra-modern digital age which will soon be ruled by automated machines, computerized systems, and bots. For businesses to remain afloat in such an ecosystem, they need to adopt new technologies and methods and be more collaborative, productive, competitive, and secure. In order to be more customer-centric and efficient, your business needs to undergo digital transformation. But before that, you must understand that digital transformation is not just about adopting new and innovative technologies and business models, but about having a sturdy vision for transforming each and every aspect of your business. Wonder why? Here are four major positive impacts you can achieve by successfully transforming your business: Improved decision-making processes Better customer reach and exposure Enhanced customer experiences Increased revenue and profitability Digital transformation has a wide scope; hence its implementation differs from business to business. To make the most of your efforts, you need to make a strategic move and deploy the right tools and technologies. Many businesses large and small may not have the right resources and technical skills to execute business transformation initiatives on their own. A digital transformation partner can be of help in such situations. What to look for in a digital transformation partner? Technical Capabilities and Offerings When hiring a technology partner, primarily check for their technical capabilities. Make sure they have a team of technology experts who can handle your digitization project flawlessly. Look for their portfolio of services and technologies they specialize in and ask for their past records in similar areas of work. Ensure that their offerings and capabilities meet your specific project needs. Industry Experience and Expertise How well does your partner understand the changing industrial trends? Do they have all the relevant technology expertise to adapt to the changing trends and disruptions? How well do they understand the market of your domain? Get answers to all these questions and make sure they are in favour of the goals you tend to achieve for your business. 2 Want to Succeed in Digital Transformation?

Evaluate each company’s organizational structure, growth strategies, global reach, capability landscape, the tools they use and their engagement processes before hiring them. Portfolio or Case Studies Review the expertise and experience of your partner by looking at the portfolio of past projects and solutions they have developed. Get in touch with the clients they have worked for and get their feedback before proceeding to partner with them.
