Summary : It is not difficult to find that the domestic digital economy era has arrived. In the process of industrial economic development to the digital economy, many enterprises have also begun to enter the era of the digital economy.

What role do the tools play in the digital transformation?

It is not difficult to find that the domestic digital economy era has arrived. In the process of industrial economic development to the digital economy, many enterprises have also begun to enter the era of the digital economy.

For an enterprise, in the development situation of greatly changing market demand and rapid iteration, the views of users or customers will greatly affect the direction of the future business model, thus affecting the business decision of the enterprise. So, how to quickly respond to the needs of customers and users, and promote the transformation from product-centered to customer-centered enterprises?

Now, it seems that the answer to this question is also very obvious: to borrow a sentence from the Internet, " for traditional industries, digital transformation can use digital technology to carry out all-around, multi-angle, whole-chain transformation." Especially under the influence of the epidemic, many enterprises have also accelerated the process of digital transformation, such as during the epidemic period, the use of various digital tools such as cloud computing and low code platforms has surged. How should we grasp this opportunity to realize the digital innovation of enterprises, and how should we do the first step?

1.Tools are the "stepping stone" for digital transformation

Just like at the end of the 20th century, no one would think that computers had brought so extensive and profound changes to our lives, which computers could replace part of manual work and would also improve people's office efficiency so significantly. Similarly, with the rise of a series of emerging technologies, such as AI, the Internet of Things, big data, and cloud computing, we can probably expect how these technologies will drive economic growth and accelerate innovation a decade later. With the rapid development of technology, digital tools built based on these emerging technologies are also emerging, providing enterprises with different choices in various aspects.

If digital transformation is the "stepping stone" of the digital age, then digital tools are the "stepping stone" of digital transformation.

There may also be many people who are not clear about the application of digital tools in business processes. Next, I took the role of human resources as an example to illustrate the application of digital tools in business processes:

·In the screening resume link, you can conduct the first round of audition through keyword screening, to save the time to manually read the resume;

·In the induction training, low-tech and repetitive tasks to improve office efficiency;

·In the performance management link, the commission rules can be set up in advance to facilitate the generation of the final statistical reports;

·In the salary setting link, automatic compensation calculation and payment can be realized by setting compensation rules and combining with attendance and punching in.

In the role of human resources, if the traditional business process is followed, there will be many unnecessary repetitions and waste, which will greatly reduce the office efficiency, and thus increase the long-term cost of the enterprise.

2.What can digital tools bring to businesses?

01 Simplify existing processes and improve collaboration efficiency

Breaking out of the role of human resources, if the digital tools are applied to various departments and personnel, we can get through the overall business process of the enterprise and simplify the original redundant steps. Eventually, tools can be used to improve the overall business adaptability, enhance the collaboration of team members, and maximize office efficiency.

02 Refactoring the business model

More and more enterprises are vigorously developing artificial intelligence and putting forward "human-machine collaboration". In the digital transformation, enterprises should further liberate their physical strength and some mental power through digital tools, take human-machine collaboration as the core, and effectively use tools and improvement methods to help promote enterprises to comprehensively reconstruct the original business model.

03 Promote the awareness of innovation

As mentioned above, digital tools replace some of the labor. Because of this, tool-driven business change will redefine the functions of each role, promote talents to improve their professional level, cultivate digital transformation talents, so that talents can progress and grow in a direction of more innovative and valuable value.

·Complete the adoption of digital tools in the overall process of enterprise business does not mean the end of digital transformation. Although the market has put forward solutions for collaboration and process links, the digital transformation of enterprises still has a long way to go.At present, the digitalization of enterprises is still facing some obstacles and bottlenecks, which pose great challenges for enterprises:

·The existing operating model cannot adapt to the market with fast iteration and variable demand;

·The organizational structure of the enterprise still maintains the original system, unable to make timely, rapid and effective decisions;

·There is no actual strategic implementation planning.

Therefore, the process of digital transformation is not a simple process of introducing tools and reimplementation, but the need to establish a systematic digital system and change the overall business framework.

The era of the digital economy is an opportunity. Enterprises should examine the development stage of the organization as soon as possible, and synchronize the introduction of digital tools with the improvement of the organizational system, so as to adapt to and establish the business operation system of the enterprise as soon as possible.
