Smash Digital Transformation Roadblocks with Lumino

Roadblocks appear in unexpected places and can threaten to bring down the whole project. Sometimes it's improper permissions. Other times, it's compliance issues or a lack of buy-in for employees. No matter what form they take, these roadblocks can throw up a wide array of security and effectiveness issues that can undermine the whole point of the digital transformation.

Organizations need to be very clear on what they are trying to achieve and why they are embarking on digital transformation.  

What Are Your Enterprise's Digital Transformation Goals? 

This is the key question to answer. 

Breaking through digital transformation roadblocks requires great planning and communication, with the right tools to help you manage the process. 

Before you begin, take some time to answer basic questions such as: 

• Is my existing vendor offering the right fit for the company's needs? 
• What are the major milestones this enterprise hopes to hit with this project? 
• Are there any key vulnerabilities and other issues to be addressed?

Bridging the Gaps Between Data 

A lack of data integration is one of the earliest roadblocks a company may encounter during transformation. If your data resides in silos that are disconnected, then you will not have a solid grasp on where the problems lie and how to solve them. 

The biggest goal is always to enable more seamless integrations between all the platforms a company uses. This is something that Lumino does so well, using its host of integration features to offer fast, efficient, and effective integration. Remember that you don't have to change everything you do - you just have to align it all so it's working towards a common purpose. 

That's what drives ease of use and accessibility for all your stakeholders.  

Strategy is key. The plan needs to be systematic and easy to follow, with clear milestones along the way. 

The Hallmarks of a Successful Digital Transformation Project

It's far more useful to think of digital transformation as "a collection of discrete initiatives and objectives, rather than as a single, monolithic program", according to Business Technology Management consultant Jeremy Thomas. 

Take it step by step. 

Setting small goals (e.g more robust security, better chatbots, automated signups) and completing them successfully before moving on to the next step is a great way to build momentum and make sure that you keep your team on board and invested in the process. 

Try to produce an explicit business case so your team understands the impact of the change that is happening. Let them feel the impact that automation can have on something like checking credit, or processing invoices in terms of speed and accuracy. That will make it real and make the need for the software obvious. 

Data integration is everything in 2022. Remember you're trying to bring all your data under one roof so it can be better understood and interpreted.  

When you start to see strong security protocols in place, faster processes, new and interesting insights, and that elusive seamless flow of data, then you know you're on the right track.
