Modernize Your Business Processes With Opentext AppEnhancer
COVID-19 disrupted our lifestyles and how we conducted businesses in a big way. Governments had to impose movement restrictions and even shutdowns. While things did slow down for some time, companies were quick to realize that adopting innovative ways to carry out business as usual was the only means of survival. Remote work is now accepted as the new normal. Never has it been more imperative to provide the right information to the right people in real-time across any location and device. Business continuity and our livelihoods now depend on secure access to information and the ability to work and collaborate remotely. This need has propelled a massive wave of digitization and modernization of business processes.
In a survey for Boomi, market research firm Vanson Bourne asked business and IT leaders worldwide about their initiatives to bring speed, agility, and efficiency to their organizations. Most organizations across industries (94%) reported they were actively modernizing. 61% said IT enterprise architecture was their top priority for modernization, 56% named cloud adoption their top focus, and about 50% said business process improvement was their top priority.
What is modernization? What are the benefits of modernization?
Business and IT leaders concede the need for organizations to modernize and transform to stay ahead of the competition. We often hear about digital transformation, and the term has a high recall in boardrooms, but modernization is equally important.
Are modernization and transformation two different concepts? According to the Boomi survey:
Transformation is the process of updating and evolving how a business interacts with its customers, employees, and partners.
Modernization is the process of replacing legacy technologies with newer systems and services to streamline processes and increase efficiency.
Modernization involves aligning IT systems and business strategies to survive and flourish in this new digital economy.
“Bringing together the right information with the right people will dramatically improve a company's ability to develop and act upon strategic business opportunities.”
- Bill Gates
