We are stepping into the new dawn of 2024. Digitization is on high speed and Wi-Fi 7 is right over the horizon. Things are moving so fast. At this speed, many businesses that do not fall in line with economic evolution are discarded along the way. Let’s look at how we can tweak some things to get better results in 2024.

While we all want technology to help our business, our business also needs to be able to evolve to adapt to the changes technology demands

Leverage Cloud: Embrace the Revolution

Fear not. Step into the cloud era with wide open arms. Cloud solutions aren’t just budget-friendly choices, but they also allow your business to step forward into a completely hybrid working environment. During the Coronavirus pandemic, the entire working sector pulled a stunt never seen before. Working-From-Home (WFH). It was amazing how people were able to work from the comfort of their homes and businesses turned out to be 11% more productive.

With the range of cloud services available, such as virtual servers, VOIP, storage, accounting, CRM, HRMS, and many others, businesses need to be able to sieve through what really applies to them. Without understanding the available options, businesses end up spending more on their IT budget without improving efficiency.

Thrifty Tech Investments: Wise Spending

Expensive does always mean better, but it doesn’t mean it’s better for you – or your business. Before you invest in your business IT budget, start by setting milestones for your progression. With this, you will easily be able to calculate the Return-of-Investment (ROI) over a certain duration. This will help you analyze the parts you will need to automate, reducing the total man-hours you need to spend to complete your workflow.

It is very understandable for businesses to be wary of how they spend or who they give their money to. It is after all very expensive to spend for digitization. Yet it is a change so drastically necessary, without it, businesses will just turn irrelevant.

Automate Manual Labour: Upskill Employees

Gone are the days we communicate through printed letters and hardcopy documents. Most items are uploaded and filled in through forms. We need to spend more time training employees to be able to work with computers. This understanding of application interfaces, file formats, or even low technical skills like typing and data entry.

Businesses cannot advance without a strong workforce and a workforce that is incapable of delivering up to spec or fulfilling demand is bound to derail the business. Yet, this aspect is frequently overlooked by business owners.

SMEs and business owners need to be able to make quick decisions. As the flood of time continues to move past us, all sectors constantly evolve. TEKIE MY helps you to understand technology more easily, so you can decide better.
