As consumers and organizations grow and expand in today's business environment, the ever-present force of technology is right alongside. SMBs and organizations understand the need for connected management of their systems and business processes, but some continue to underestimate the benefits that come with digital transformation.

Digitalization is essential for SMBs and businesses for a variety of reasons, if not simply for ease of access to their data, but the process is one that must be taken in stages. It begins with the digitalization of data, then the digitalization of automation, before complete digital transformation.

By the end of this process, data is populated, backed up and easily accessible in a digital format, marketing campaigns (EDM drip campaigns, for example) become simplified, and CRM and ERP adoption becomes much more approachable. Overall, the process creates powerful digital workplace solutions that offer access to data or documents on the go.

Understandably, the current global economic environment is volatile and changing rapidly post-pandemic, and this is why simplifying the digitalization process is vital to make sure you and your business aren't left behind. SMBs can now take the simple and secure path of the digital transformation journey with Huawei Cloud, whose enterprise applications will help streamline the process for comprehensive solutions.
