Reasons and Countermeasures for the Difficulty of Digital Transformation of SMEs

Is it easy for SMEs to make digital transformation? Of course, it is not easy. It is not only not easy, but also difficult for SMEs to give feedback. Many small and medium-sized enterprises are looking at the successful digital transformation of their peers, and their business has become unique. In their hearts, 10000 horses begin to gallop and roar, hoping that they can immediately go online and surpass their competitors; Of course, we also saw many painful lessons from the transformation failure of our peers, which made us unable to step forward. Therefore, the current pain of many bosses in the digital transformation of SMEs is really a problem.

In this issue, Acloudear, an enterprise digital transformation strategy expert, shared the reasons and coping strategies for the difficulty of small and medium-sized enterprises’ digital transformation.

The root cause of the difficulty of small and medium-sized enterprises’ digital transformation

Where is the difficulty in the digital transformation of SMEs? Many of our small and medium-sized enterprises can freely say a few things: what is the unclear direction of transformation, the unclear path of transformation, and the difficult quantification of transformation results? Some of these problems can not be solved. How can the bosses turn around in the fog? What is the root cause of the difficulty of SMEs’ digital transformation?

Xu Enqing, Deputy Director of the Cloud Computing Department of the Cloud Computing and Big Data Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Information and Communications, once said: “The root cause of the difficulty in the digital transformation of SMEs is that they will not. Because the foundation of SMEs’ informatization (data foundation) is relatively weak overall, the transformation is difficult.” On the one hand, the foundation is weak, and on the other hand, there is a lack of professional methods and experience, so we dare not transfer.

How to cope with the difficulty of small and medium-sized enterprises’ digital transformation?

Is it because our small and medium-sized enterprises have a weak digital foundation, no professional methods, lack of experience and dare not turn it around? Of course, it is impossible. With the trend of digital era, digital transformation is imperative. What can we do? It is not impossible. The company sharing network, an expert on digital strategic transformation of enterprises, put forward its own views:

First of all, our SMEs need to self diagnose their own informatization and digitalization, and have a clear understanding of their own foundation; At the same time, we should also have a clear goal for the future strategy of the enterprise, and then formulate a digital strategy based on the strategic goal; It is usually more reasonable for SMEs to carry out overall planning through digitalization and start locally, so as to gradually integrate into the digital transformation. It is not recommended to completely subvert and integrate the above.

Small and medium-sized enterprises have obvious advantages in digital transformation

Many people want to ask why SMEs have low digitalization level, high transformation cost and difficult transformation, so many enterprises are still trying to accelerate transformation? Because once the digital transformation of SMEs is successfully phased, it can help enterprises improve their business efficiency, achieve agile operation, and enhance their core competitiveness, so as to cope with future challenges and leave their competitors far behind.

Therefore, after recognizing their current situation, our small and medium-sized enterprises further build a digital transformation route for small and medium-sized enterprises through professional ways to improve themselves in stages.
