Over the past 10 years there has been tremendous growth in technology that enables businesses to interact and communicate in ways never before possible. New trends and possibilities are appearing all the time, while mobile devices are now the norm, the internet continues to grow and cloud-based solutions are commonplace in the commercial sphere. As we make our way into a new year, we look at some of the advancements in more detail to see how technology can change your business in 2023.
Connect with the cloud
There are still many businesses that are either not using the cloud at all or unaware of its full capabilities. The next generation of business applications in the cloud are allowing organisations in all sectors to modify their approach as their business needs change.The cloud is also referred to as Software as a Service (SaaS) and it has transformed the way businesses operate, saving time and money, while offering fast scalability and upgrades to ensure you always have the latest tools and features at your disposal. Another major plus point is that it can be done without becoming bogged down in complex IT and tech-related issues that cause disruption. Switching to a cloud-based system is now easier than ever, even if your business processes are layered and complex.
Welcome the reality of the ‘Internet of Things’
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to identification of patterns of data that has been collected and analysed, giving you more insight to identify trends and predict behaviours. No matter how large or small your business, you will collect data that can be utilised even more powerfully than simply reacting to the past. Business apps and systems now enable us to infuse advanced analytics, big data and IoT to optimise outcomes. This creates exciting new possibilities that will also drive meaningful customer interactions.
Go mobile
The pandemic changed the way we think about mobile technology and businesses that were able to move fast were in a better position to continue their growth. Operating in a digital world means customers expect instant access to information regarding their orders, so your employees need to be connected like never before. Cloud-based apps enable your business to remain agile to manage information on the move so you are no longer forced to rely on fixed locations that can restrict growth.
Digitise your business
Growth is driven by efficiency and productivity and the tools used by your employees will help you make gains in both areas. Too much time spent working across multiple systems that do not communicate with each other can lead to duplicate entries, manual processes and out of date reports, which is a waste of valuable time. Enabling every department to connect and work together through a single platform such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central removes unnecessary boundaries and enables your business to achieve even more.
