Nine Digital Solutions to consider in your Digital Transformation

Transform your business with advanced digital tools, technologies, and engineering innovations

To elevate an organization' capabilities, competitiveness, and agility, integrating powerful Digital Solution tools, processes, and technologies is an advanced strategy that starts by understanding the options available and processes used to start this digital transformation.

 

What are Digital Solutions? Digital Solutions are just that: solutions to current and future problems driven by digital tools, technologies, and engineering innovations. Digital Solutions are most often employed to update traditional systems, making them more efficient, more effective, and more scalable. Done correctly, digital solutions will save a company time and money, freeing resources to be used elsewhere. Done innovatively, implementing Digital Solutions will provide a competitive advantage to safeguard business during uncertain times.  

Understanding Available Digital Solution Tools 

Designing and implementing Digital Solutions allows businesses to pick from a range of potential technologies and innovations. Every business faces unique challenges, so creating unique solutions requires an understanding of both the business, and the potential solutions. While process and business unit owners know their company very well, they often lack knowledge on potential digital tools, their benefits and risks, and their specialized impact. Consider these potential Digital Solution Tools and Processes as examples of what is available

  • Immersive Technology: Immersive Technology is the interaction of advanced software, devices, and data that allows users to experience their environment in new and empowering ways. Augmented Reality, Virtual Training, and Remote Service are examples of this applied technology. 
     
    See an example of Immersive Technology

  • Advanced Human Interface: Advanced Human Interface is a software driven iteration of the traditional Graphical User Interface (GUI) that combines newer sensory inputs (gestures, voice, Character Recognition) as the device interface.

    See an example of an Advanced Human Interface Technology
  • Internet of Things: The Internet of Things (IoT) creates interconnectivity of everyday objects by embedding computing/communication devices that allow them to send and receive data. IoT applications include, among other things, automobiles and appliances that communicate with service centers to aid in anticipating wear and tear issues.

  • Artificial Intelligence: Artificial intelligence is a collection of technologies that can perform functions usually reserved for human intelligence, including visual perception, auditory recognition, signal translation, and in some cases, decision making. 

  • Machine Learning: Machine Learning takes the speed and depth of computer processing power to push artificial intelligence further into human level decision making. The learning is based on complex algorithms that draw insight from patterns of data.   
  • Industry 4.0: Industry 4.0 (I4.0), also known as the 4th Industrial Revolution, is the application of digital transformation technologies to drive improvements on manufacturing. Faster, smarter, and more effective decision making are hallmarks of I4.0.

  • Data Management: Data Management is simply the collection, storage, retrieval, and use of data in a secure and cost effective manner. It is the backbone of digital solutions, as all improvements can be negated by improper or ineffective data management.  
  • Product/Solution Development: Product & Solution Development is a process that considers the realm of Digital Solutions Tools & Technologies and evaluates options for Feasibility (technical acceptance of outcome), Desirability (user acceptance of design), and Viability (financial cost & benefit). Think early stage product development activities for Digital Solutions. 
  • Digital Roadmap Development: Digital Roadmap Development is a planning process that brings together the desired business outcomes sought through Digital Solutions with the tools, technologies, and innovations needed to get there. It also includes the range of capabilities needed and the overall blueprint for solution implementation.
