In keeping with the spirit of Thanksgiving, Katalyst Software Services Limited takes the opportunity to thank advanced technologies for enterprise digital transformation
“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
It’s that time of the year when all of us in America show our gratitude to our friends, family, colleagues, and companions. Businesses slow down as people take the opportunity to express their heartfelt thanks to their loved ones, mentioning their importance in their lives on Thanksgiving Day.
However, while acknowledging the efforts of our friends and families, we often forget to thank our tangible friend at work and at home: technology.
Yes, it is the technology that has given enterprises a vision that allows them to collaborate across the globe and increase production speed and output like never expected before. The presence of advanced tech tools has streamlined various business functions by making them responsive and intelligent to compete in the global economy and serve and delight their customers.
So here we are on Thanksgiving Day, showing our gratitude to the different functional technologies aligned with various business roles.
Finance: Technology for the finance function has redefined finance delivery services as of late. The advents of blockchain, electronic payment platforms, artificial intelligence, and real-time data analytics are revolutionizing the finance function, making it more transparent and powerful in delivering business value. ERP and cloud technologies have innovated some of the most important tools for the finance function.
Real-time data, and the business intelligence derived from it, has helped organizations optimize their financial outlays, hedge their losses in time, and prepare for financial emergencies. Of course, employees must also give thanks to the finance department for allocating budgets to implement enterprise applications that ease their day-to-day tasks!
Administration: Admin is the backbone of any business, ensuring an organization’s efficient performance. For every role like space management, facilities and utilities management, communication processes, travel and transport, legal compliances, file and document sharing software, vendor management software, and IT infrastructure, there are smart software solutions available to expedite routine tasks while ensuring benefits for every stakeholder involved. We are thankful for SaaS-based technology that has made it easier to manage a large enterprise or an SMB by significantly automating processes using data analytics for rational decision-making, thus simplifying the system flow.
Operations: Most functions are driven to serve the operations of any business organization, and sure enough, several digital technologies focus on satisfying this role’s requirements. Every business exists to serve its customers and meet their ever-changing expectations. Enterprise applications that support and align the entire organization’s value chain with corporate goals include Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Logistics Management Software (LMS), Warehouse Management Software (WMS), Supply Chain Management Software (SCMS), and advanced Engineering and Manufacturing solutions that offer enough confidence for companies to run the most critical parts of their business.
Enterprises must thank AI and machine learning for all the advancements in these tools. Other technologies that operations professionals should thank are tools that help with customer service, Project Management, productivity and compliance management.
Marketing: If any function has seen the most rapidly changing technology landscape, it must be marketing, which has even coined “martech” as a word to classify marketing technologies. Marketing functions are surely thankful for the extensive advancements in information, communication, and technology, with the internet and big data being its most valuable resources because of the customer touchpoints it creates by facilitating interfacing with the organization. Marketing professionals are immensely thankful to the growth in digital and e-commerce technology platforms that are helping brands to register their online presence optimally through cutting-edge mobile and web development solutions.
Sales: In the pursuit of finding qualified leads and converting them into customers, the sales function is highly supported by technology these days. Every sales professional must be thankful for how the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform smartly and strategically manages their relationships with present and potential clients. Today, mobile CRM software products like Sales Katalyst serve e-commerce enterprises successfully.
Human Resources: Technology is everywhere. From assessment tools to hiring the right candidate to onboarding, payroll management, attendance, and employee engagement tools, the HR function has a lot for which to thank technology. Today, strategic consultant recruitment to bring a competitive edge to their enterprise is also a part of HR function. The HR function is no exception. The HR function is truly thankful for tech-driven solutions like professional services that map experts, consultants, and specialists with clients’ staffing requirements in professional domains.
