reasons why technology will determine the future success
of businesses
Everything we thought we knew about the economic system
has been turned upside down in recent years. Traditional financing is disappearing,
austerity being the new slogan. Yet new revenue opportunities and opportunities
are emerging in the cloud, digital and mobility fields.
The broad principles of business and business taught in
MBA courses and consolidated by years of experience are no longer valid today.
The West no longer reigns supreme, and new opportunities, like new threats, are
no longer found in the East, but in the new markets of Latin America and
Africa.
In these conditions, competition is increasingly
fragmented, difficult to characterize and locate. Companies themselves are
always finding it more difficult to define and distinguish themselves. In the
absence of specific references to position, commercial and marketing
departments swim in troubled waters: it is increasingly difficult to know where
and how to focus efforts, especially that the expansion of emerging markets may
be accompanied by new constraints related to regulation and compliance.
For many companies, adapting is a matter of survival.
Adaptation is increasingly seen as an opportunity to transform the business and
to rethink marketing strategies. Innovation is the key, and leaders are eager
to take a fresh look at their IT environment, wondering what needs to be
improved or changed. They question the very fabric of their organization, to
redefine it in accordance with social, economic and political developments.
They are currently transforming their infrastructure to align with their
business goals and make it scalable to support their future growth, agile with
high performance to ensure reliable and timely distribution of strategic
applications, flexible to better manage fluctuations and ultra efficient to
maximize the return on investment. Above all, they are looking for new and
innovative ways to use technology to automate, realign, inform and re-evaluate
all links in their operational chain.
From the point of view of IT services, using technology
for the benefit of innovation is in itself an interesting issue. IT
infrastructure has changed dramatically in recent years. Cloud is now a
reality, as is convergence; the segmentation between fixed and mobile has
disappeared and consumer practices are gaining ground in the corporate world
where employees are expressing new expectations regarding the possible and desirable
use of new technologies at work.
IT departments strive to balance user expectations with
business needs or constraints imposed by the business ; their services are
increasingly integrated into the company, and no longer a separate group.
Technology is the key to innovation and the transformation of the company is
through the innovative use of technology.
It is interesting to note the remarkably solid bases on
which innovation seems to rest more and more. Regardless of the industry,
regardless of location, business leaders have common goals that they believe
are truly critical to their business. No need for incredible ingredients to
concoct this potion; it is based on the concrete needs of the company and
organizations of all sizes rely on it for their future success.
What are the ingredients of this magic formula? Nothing
really rocket actually.
Companies are asking for help to improve their efficiency
and performance; assistance in establishing a firm and flexible governance;
end-to-end security, compliance and control guarantees; savings and risk
sharing; capacity mobilization to increase their competitive advantage;
innovation and know-how. Technology could be the way to bring all these
conditions together. The use that a company makes of technology to achieve
these objectives increasingly determines its future success.
1. Efficiency and performance
The first element to consider is that of efficiency and
performance, in the context of the IT infrastructure. For many companies,
global software development results in disparate systems and applications that
are expensive to execute and often out of step with business goals. In an
environment where success can depend on speed to market and where the operation
of markets requires millisecond accuracy, no company can afford to see
technology become a drag on performance.
They are seeking to consolidate and streamline their
systems so that everyone has quick access to information, in the simplest of
times. After decades of bespoke customization, they are now focusing on
standard, easy-to-deploy, easy-to-replicate solutions around the world that
have proven their worth. (After all, a standard smartphone is right for you, is
not it, what matters is what you do with it ...). They are looking for service
and supply models that can adapt to their changing strategy. They also want
price transparency and the possibility of setting up services quickly and
easily.
They need an agile computing environment that is tightly
aligned with their needs and helps them achieve their goals.
2. Firm but flexible governance
Once this ideal IT infrastructure is in place, the next
step is governance.
It is about establishing the "Holy Trinity" of
processes, tools and people, in a simple and streamlined structure that
promotes the optimal exploitation of technology. Here, technology can be very
useful in self-management: monitoring unexpected events, signaling areas of
concern and triggering basic corrections, as part of ongoing process management
that keeps the company on course. As the human aspect is equally important, the
team that will exercise this governance must understand the links that unite
technology to the company and strive constantly to strengthen them, not just
from an operational point of view.
The most important thing for companies is that the
process does not override the vision. It is important to avoid over-multiplying
the processes to the point where they get all the attention. It's the business
that counts. Continuous performance evaluation will eliminate unnecessary
processes and introduce other useful processes to help the company move
forward.
3. Security, compliance and end-to-end control
Then comes security and compliance. In our connected and
globalized society, security, compliance and control are the absolute keys to
success. With the ability to leverage Big Data as a key differentiator,
companies have never created, accessed, shared, and stored such large volumes
of data from multiple sources. Hence the absolute necessity to protect
sensitive intellectual property information (customer data, price, product
information or other). Neglecting this aspect is likely to cost money, but also
in terms of image and reputation, with potentially far more lasting
consequences.
Compliance is a legitimate obligation. Most standards are
based on years of practical experience and serve to limit risk. Companies that
do not comply with the latest standards are in fact exposed to risks. The
regulatory environment also serves to balance the needs of individuals and
businesses.
Although not all companies subscribe to all regulatory
requirements, again, there is a legitimate reason for them to exist; also, non-compliance
can result in heavy fines and, in some cases, the closure of the business.
The difficulty is that the regulatory environment and
compliance requirements can vary from one market to another and that very few
companies have the necessary in-house expertise to ensure full and consistent
compliance. You may think that your data is secure, but there is no guarantee
that you will pass the audit of an independent expert. These are two very
different things. Instead, give your data security and compliance to an
experienced service provider. Thus, you can concentrate calmly on the growth of
your business.
Another difficulty lies in the need to control
intellectual property information while allowing the free exchange of
information within a social communication environment.
It is also about who will control the exchange of
information in the future. There is a lot of thought currently being given to
the issues of identity management and confidentiality, which weigh on the
future landscape of the company. More than a philosophical debate, the search
for the right balance between the "rights" of the government, the
company and the individual touches on the foundation of the social, political
and economic structures of tomorrow. Moreover, as employees increasingly attach
importance to the values of social responsibility and brand
ethics, these aspects deserve to be examined not only within the confines of
the professional environment, but in the context society as a whole.
4. Shared risk and cost reduction
Streamlining the technology infrastructure aims to make
it more efficient and cost effective. The elimination of wastage and redundancy
is obviously common sense; doing it for future growth is the logical next step.
This explains the increasingly fundamental positioning of the cloud in IT
planning. Cloud Computing combines the benefits of flexible access to the
computing power needed, with the ability to freely adjust capacity up or down
according to the natural and seasonal cycles of the business.
In practice, this means that IT can become more
responsive to the dynamics and pace of the market, with technology as a driver
of development. In addition, the cloud makes it possible to move from an
investment expenditure model to an operating expense model, with the positive
impact that we imagine on profitability. And, of course, when companies opt for
third-party cloud solutions, it's up to them to invest in technology to keep
the infrastructure up-to-date. IT departments do not have to own and maintain
the entire system, or even how it works: this role is outsourced.
For the company, this means agility and scalability on
demand, mobilizing cloud resources when it's needed. This model makes it
possible to consider a new approach to business, where opportunities and
commercial risks are essentially extended to third parties. The result is an
absolute refocus on the needs of the company, plus the guarantees of the cloud
provider that will meet all these needs. Regarding the Cloud, a ready-made
solution is definitely excluded.
Of course, the cloud is not the only option. The business
model of selective outsourcing is growing in popularity, and many companies are
adopting a "business ecosystem" approach, using proven independent
expertise in specialized areas such as security, hosting or management. network
infrastructure, but with performance indicators firmly integrated and
interconnected with the overall business strategy.
"Shared risk" is a basic requirement of these
models, as technology partners are integrated into the enterprise and rewarded
(or not) according to the efficiency of the technology to lead them to success.
5. Mobilize capacity: build on every asset
What matters is not what you do, but the way you do it.
This is where the use of technology can be a real competitive advantage. The
challenge is to offer real mobility to employees, by focusing on the phenomenon
of mass consumption of technology to enable them to access information in
multiple formats, on multiple terminals, anywhere and at any time. demand, and
on immersive video communication tools, mobile devices and social networks to
improve information sharing.
Mobile device management and content delivery systems
will play a crucial role in the business in the future. They are already
transforming the Intranet into a secure social work space, extended to all
stakeholders in the ecosystem to give them greater freedom to innovate and
collaborate, and to foster the emergence of new ideas. All this leads us to
reconsider what we thought we knew about commercial practice.
It is now a matter of following and analyzing customer
behavior and injecting consistency into the interaction with them, to express
customer value. The idea is to put the customer at the center of the business
and make it easier for them, to have instant access to information and online
resources, and to have internal resources better aligned with opportunities. It
is also about analyzing the "Big Data" that every company already
has, so that we can learn lessons quickly and implement new solutions to drive
improvements.
With the "thin client" approach, which wants
applications to be stored and delivered from the cloud, the goal is to
"mobilize" applications, make them mobile, transparently and
securely, accessible on more portable devices. intelligent than traditional
workstations. It's about fostering agility, boosting productivity and
transforming business opportunities.
By looking at their technology investments from a fresh
perspective, companies will be able to revolutionize their way of doing
business. Technology can already have a radical positive impact on business
operations. The key is not to be afraid to question the existing.
6. Knowledge and innovation
The last piece of the puzzle concerns innovation and
know-how. Innovation can be particularly rewarding, especially if it fits fully
into the business strategy and supports it.
The challenge here is clearly to harness the existing
knowledge within the company and create an environment where innovation is
encouraged to move forward. It is often said that men and women are the main
assets of a company; unfortunately, too few companies take full advantage of
the intellectual property they have at their disposal.
The Grail for Business would be to build a culture in
which employees feel that their ideas are valued, their opinion recognized and
that they have a role to play in the success of the business.
Ideally, it is a collaborative enterprise culture that
needs to be encouraged and, again, technology can be a critical factor in the
process. Social collaboration tools, unified communications solutions,
information sharing tools and interactive dashboards all have a role to play in
creating an effective dialogue. Ideas come from dialogue, ideas come from
solutions and solutions arise from new approaches that will allow the company
to move from point A to point B with a fully engaged team, without even having
to rely on external resources.
Technology is now an integral part of the process and the
end product.
