Digitization ≠ Digitalization ≠ Digital Transformation Digitization — makes analog information digital. Examples: * Scanning paper invoices into searchable PDFs. * Converting OCR business cards into contacts. * Move personnel HR files to a Data Management System. Digitalization — using digital technology to improve workflows. Examples: * Automation of invoicing that reads the invoice and forwards it for approval. * HR onboarding with electronic signature, automatic provision, and checklists instead of email threads. * Sales pipeline in CRM with automatic lead assignment and reminders instead of spreadsheets. * Customer support with ticketing and a knowledge base that deflects basic queries. Digital Transformation — changing the way the organisation creates and delivers value. Examples: * Switching from one-time product sales to subscriptions (SaaS / “as-a-service”). * Introduction of an e-commerce channel for direct sales to consumers with self-service returns. * Build a data product (reports/insights) that becomes a new revenue stream. If it ends with a digital copy, it’s digitization. If it changes the workflow, it’s digitalization. If it changes the way you compete and earn money, it’s digital transformation. What to measure? Lead time, error rate, cost per transaction (digitalisation). Digital revenue in %, activation/retention, time-to-market, NPS/CSAT (transformation).

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗢𝟮𝗖 Most enterprises don’t lose money because their products fail. They lose it because their cash gets stuck. Order-to-Cash should be the lifeline of business. Yet across SMEs, mid-market, and even billion-dollar enterprises, the story is the same: • Data scattered in silos • Customers onboarded manually • Payments delayed for weeks • Finance teams chasing instead of forecasting • ERPs promised automation. • SaaS promised efficiency. • But cash flow is still broken. The problem isn’t a technology gap. It’s an intelligence gap. That’s where Intelligent Automation makes the difference: One centralized data foundation • Automated onboarding → fewer delays • Faster fulfillment & collections → stronger cash flow • End-to-end visibility with seamless integration Because cash is oxygen. And Intelligent Automation keeps it flowing without leaks, delays, or disputes. 𝗣𝗦: If you could fix just one part of your O2C cycle today, what would it be onboarding, collections, or visibility?

Remember my post from the other day about the lengthy interview/consulting session? I wanted to share some insights I feel are critical and might be valuable for others. Issues with ERP/CRM and IT process maturity, oh and leverage AI. So let's hit these. Issues with your ERP/CRM are mainly about a disconnect between business needs and what IT has built. Adoption and utilization are directly connected to your input fields, level of control/standardization and having a simplified process. If your business put in random data to complete "required" fields that don't mean much to the users you're wasting their time, or they don't understand why it's important. solve for common uses not every deviation. IT process maturity is about adoption and continuous improvement. If your teams are drifting from their original levels it's important to get the 5Ws. Similiar issues to ERP/CRM for data, and automation of processes doesn't mean 100% compliance as the goal posts move and technologies change. Go back to CSI book of ITIL if you need to understand how to drive improvements. AI, is not the end goal, it's a tool for your journey to deliver value and ROI. Use it to help where it fits as long as it meets your privacy and security controls. Don't expect transformational change unless you are ready to rebuild a lot of your core elements and numerous processes. These are just a quick rehash of a great discussion. Hope it benefits someone. Be safe on your Digital Transformation Journey.

Digital transformation doesn’t start with technology. It starts with an honest look at your company’s digital maturity — your people, processes, culture, and readiness for change. At EBS, our Business Analysts don’t just collect answers. They uncover the real foundation needed to build solutions that are not only innovative, but sustainable long-term. Because only when the picture is clear, the transformation can truly succeed.
Orice companie poate implementa o soluție digitală. Însă doar cele care sunt sincere în evaluarea lor reușesc să construiască ceva sustenabil. În procesul de transformare digitală, un pas esențial este evaluarea maturității digitale a companiei. Acest pas presupune răspunsuri la chestionare și discuții în cadrul workshopurilor cu consultanți sau business analiști. De multe ori apare tentația de a răspunde „optimist”, prezentând nu situația reală, ci ceea ce ne dorim să existe în viitor. Însă transformarea digitală are succes doar atunci când pornim de la o radiografie autentică a organizației: 🧑🤝🧑 Cât de pregătită este echipa pentru schimbare 🗺️ Există sau nu un roadmap clar, un buget sau măcar un plan de acțiuni 🌍 Care este deschiderea clienților, pieței și partenerilor față de noile soluții 🔎 Tehnologia este doar vârful aisbergului. O transformare digitală reușită se sprijină pe oameni, procese și cultura organizațională. De aceea, calitatea informațiilor pe care le primim de la companie este crucială – de ea depinde dacă soluția dezvoltată va fi nu doar atractivă, ci și eficientă și sustenabilă în timp. Cum vedeți voi acest proces? Ce provocări ați întâlnit în etapa de evaluare a maturității digitale?
