Digital Transformation: Critical Small Steps

We live in a world of digital technologies, the adoption of which, combined with the utilization of digital skills, is a key parameter to business success. However, data shows that Greece continues to lag behind, although the pandemic has given a significant boost to the adoption of digital transformation. It is really difficult, however, to measure exactly how far this transformation progressed and what it consists of, although most consider it necessary.

If you look at the Greek public sector, for example, you will notice that the process started with small steps. Gov.gr and Taxis are typical examples of platforms that initially served a particular limited purpose and gradually began to integrate more and more services, creating a hub, with the ultimate goal of integrating services in the future. This is usually how digital transformation works, whether for large-scale planning such as in the case of the public sector, or smaller-scale planning, as in the case of business entities.

In recent years, the market has been flooded with proposed solutions, experts and consultants offering services related to digital transformation. In most cases, proposals are vague and confusing, which prevents businesses from making the right decision. The main issues are high cost, ambiguity in goals and tools, and uncertain results. With all that in mind, SoftOne presented its own model, “Digital Transformation with Simple Steps”, which is addressed to businesses, and especially SMEs, and offers guidance through the lengthy and complicated process of digital transformation.

What sets SoftOne’s solution apart from the competition is that it offers transparency. How? By proposing very specific and independent steps that customers can implement immediately, and thus offering maximum return in minimum time. At the same time, and this is particularly important, SoftOne ensures scaling, interaction, and interconnection with previous steps, which leads to continuity, transparency, and the much-needed integration. These small steps are essentially the ones that bring “small victories” and lead to successful transformation with no significant initial investment and quick ROI.
