Getting digital means developing digital capabilities in which a company’s activities, people, culture, and structure are in sync and aligned toward a set of organizational goals.

2. 2. Availability of Relevant data to Relevant people

   The amount of data required by middle managers to do their jobs correctly are generally not easily available because of this communication gaps tend to occur between various departments and hence affects the overall working of the organization. IT system should be used in a way that middle managers gets access to all the relevant data easily hence filling the communication gaps.

   Daily and monthly reporting and analysis takes a lot of time if done manually. Building an IT infrastructure that can digitize monthly and daily reporting and analysis and which can be converted to MIS easily will save significant amount of time for the organization.

5. 5. Bring in the digital culture

   Shifting people towards thinking digital is one of the major tasks that company has to go through to build a digital backbone for itself. If your company still holds meeting so that top executives get the status update about the project then it’s a clear sign that your organization is not digitally prepared. IT should be used so that top executives get real time update about the project easily and without any trouble, hence preventing wastage of time and effort. Bringing in the digital culture means to use the full potential of IT to get more done by using lesser time, effort and resources.
