So, why is digital transformation so important for SMEs?
The pandemic made clear the need for a more adaptable and scalable digital environment. However, Malaysian SMEs are still underinvesting in digital technology, causing them to miss out on opportunities and growth in various business operations.
Thus, SMEs must shift their attention from outdated technologies to cutting-edge digital solutions that will prepare their organisations for the future. The benefits of digitisation for SMEs are manifold:
1. Increase efficiency and savings
Digital transformation streamlines and integrates SMEs' everyday business processes and operations, enabling them to run their operations more efficiently and save substantial costs. This is particularly crucial considering the movement restrictions of people and products brought on by COVID-19. We have witnessed businesses that have not yet embarked on their digital transformation journeys risk losing money and falling behind.
2. Create a more productive workforce
It's no secret that businesses today always look for new methods to boost productivity, and digitalisation has proven to be the solution. Embracing digital transformation enables a workforce to function more productively and efficiently through an innovative and flexible working approach. As a result, employees can be more productive in their primary responsibilities within and beyond the workplace.
3. Make better and faster business decisions
As we move deeper into the digital age, it is more important than ever for companies to differentiate themselves from the competition by making fast and informed decisions. By collecting and analysing data, businesses can devise strategies to meet customers’ expectations and specific business goals. Businesses can get real-time updates and monitor the success of their companies’ performances, and marketing campaigns quickly and precisely through data analytics tools.
4. Reach more potential customers in more geographical locations
By going digital, small and medium-sized businesses can gain instant access to extended networks of customers, co-workers, employees, and suppliers. In addition, they can connect with a massive network to which they had no prior access. This is an excellent opportunity to expand their customer base and attract new customers in various regions.
5. Enhance cybersecurity and data privacy
Even though SMEs are less attractive targets for cybercrime than large corporations, an attack on an SME could have catastrophic consequences. They need to upgrade their business digitally with the necessary cybersecurity solutions as a preventive strategy to better anticipate threats, implement measures to mitigate them, train employees on cyber security, and react swiftly to unexpected events.
