Mastering digital transformation with Microsoft Dynamics 365
published by
Binary Stream
According to Gartner’s 2017 CEO Survey, over 40% of CEOs prioritise digitalization and see it as an integral part of their company’s plan. However, this is not an easy process and requires many steps and in some cases, an entire team is dedicated to process improvement and digitalizing the company. With the growth of new technologies, it can be hard to prioritize one upgrade over another, and having a decentralized system can lead to a disjointed process with some departments lagging behind others. This becomes especially true if all systems are self-maintained and require manual updates. Having an ERP system with a reliable network of partners and development support can be a significant factor in helping your company streamline processes and move past outdated tools.
