Shaping your business' future with technology

Digital technologies have taken over all departments of the company, from administration to production to creation.

Everywhere, they bring time and performance savings, which translate into better financial results. As long as you avoid some pitfalls; here are some tips to avoid that and move forwards into a more successful business mindset.

Know your resources precisely

Many companies do not know where the mobile phones of employees who have gone on other adventures are located, how many computers they have or the exact number of telephone subscriptions they pay each month.

Even when they have carried out an inventory, there are only a few who keep this inventory alive and regularly optimise the cost price of their assets. This can now be done entirely by technology.

Teaching, again and again

Take advantage of the information that you have as a boss, and be sure to spread a collective awareness. Sustainable development is not easy to maintain and it will take some staff motivation because it certainly isn’t easy to implement these eco-friendly changes.

Employees to make better use of company resources. For example, by encouraging them to print on scrap paper when the use is internal or to put their computer to sleep when they are away for more than a quarter of an hour. Teach them how to use better technology, for example 3cx phone systems or a new cloud storage system. 

Streamline information

Information must be circulated smoothly at the start of a new project. The more information is shared, the more employees exchange and the more the atmosphere is for collaboration. So ensure that you have a confidential and easy way to circulate the information. 

The future - what to expect?

The future is here, and it can have massive benefits to business. It’s time to get onboard. 

5G networks: Digital collaboration has become the cornerstone of our ways of working and of our lives. According to a recent survey, up to 75% of workers believe it improves morale and productivity.

We could not wait any longer, 5G, the more efficient and powerful little sister of 4G, will take us to the next level. Up to ten times faster and offering response rates fifty times shorter than 4G, it will soon make shifts from ancient history. The low energy consumption will also allow the batteries to last much longer.

Smart bots: Powered by artificial intelligence, chatbots mean that soon we may all have our own personal assistant. Monotony is one of the biggest sources of distraction in the workplace, so utilising new technology could bring a newfound excitement to the office space.

Also, looking at delegating these repetitive chores to someone else will allow your employees to focus on the creative tasks they love.

It is evident that workplaces are gradually breaking the routine and monotony, improving employee satisfaction by allowing them to focus on the purely innovative aspect of their industry.

However, improving technology and updating your systems is going to play a pivotal role in changing your company for the better; as well as incentifying staff with new and amended job roles and even titles.
