Der Digitale Wandel und seine Herausforderungen

“When digital transformation is done right, it’s like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, but when done wrong, all you have is a really fast caterpillar.”[1] Digitization is progressing on and bringing not only scores of chances, but also many new challenges with it. VIMP will assist you in mastering these challenges successfully. Read in this blog post how exactly this can be achieved.

What you need to know about digital change

Digitization in general indicates a meaningful change of economy and society by new digital technologies. Fundamentally this means that former analogue information transfers into a digital form or function. Online videos have taken an especially effective role! The digital or so-called fourth industrial revolution pervades all important areas of society, from economy, over education to politics. Digitization isn’t a linear process, but a process of constant renewal that promotes global networking in real time.[2]

But especially companies are expecting numerous new challenges to be mastered in the course of digitization. In almost all departments inside a company like sales, marketing, human resources or production, the requirements must be adapted and optimized in terms of digitization.[3] Relating to digitization many other questions still need to be clarified. These can be answered in the course of digital change by an open and positive attitude of the companies towards those necessary changes. Other important basic prerequisites for the digital change are a great willingness to learn and the ability to recognize comprehensive processes and system contexts.[4] How VIMP can effectively help your company with the digitization will be explained in the following.
