Digital Transformation Guide for SMEs: Where to Start? - Blog

Digital transformation has become one of the most important keys to gaining a competitive advantage in today's business world. However, especially for SMEs, knowing where to start this journey is often the hardest step. In this guide, we cover the steps that will guide you on your digital transformation journey.

What is Digital Transformation?

Digital transformation is the fundamental change of businesses' operational processes, customer experiences, and business models using digital technologies. It is much more than implementing an ERP system; it is redesigning the way you do business.

Step 1: Analyze Your Current Processes

Before starting digital transformation, you must clearly understand your current situation. Which processes are running manually? Where is the most time wasted? Which departments have difficulty sharing data with each other? The answers to these questions will determine your transformation roadmap.

Step 2: Determine Your Priorities

Instead of trying to digitize all processes at once, start with the areas that will create the highest impact. Generally, finance and accounting processes, inventory management, and customer relationship management are the areas that provide the fastest return on investment.

Step 3: Choose the Right Technology

You should choose an ERP system that suits your business size, industry, and specific needs. While off-the-shelf programs are often insufficient, fully custom-developed solutions can create unnecessary costs. A flexible, scalable, and customizable solution is ideal.

Step 4: Manage the Transition Process

Digital transformation is not just a technology project but also a change management project. You must provide adequate training and support for your employees to adapt to the new system. At 2MS YAZILIM, we are with you at every stage of your transition process.
