Digital Dexterity

Digital Dexterity is an approach that enables organizations to build an agile and flexible workforce that is instrumental to the success of digital transformation projects. This approach allows companies to adapt to the advent of new technologies, changing customer expectations, industry shifts and so on.

The Benefits of Digital Dexterity at the Workplace.

Higher Flexibility: Digitally dexterous employees are more willing to try new solutions and enables the company’s journey to a digital transformation.
More Autonomy: Employees are willing to work on projects with initiatives and demanding requirements. They know that they play a pivotal part in the success of these projects.
Better Efficiency: As digital adoptions grow, the employees take advantage and adapt them to improve their own department’s efficiency.
Remote Workability: The workforce can work from anyplace in a work environment that provides them with appropriate technologies.
The Bigger Picture: Employees with high digital dexterity understand that digitalization benefits the company as a whole and are willing to take risks to pursue this result.

Challenges that Organisations may face in Implementing Digital Dexterity

Whenever there is the introduction of new technology in an organization, the success of the adoption and consumption depends on the digital dexterity of the employees. If the employees are ready to adjust the workflow to accommodate the digital drive, the project runs smoothly and swiftly re-calibrating human and digital resources.

In the current state “Technology” is growing and changing rapidly. Some companies find it difficult to cope up, while others proactively develop their systems and infrastructure well in advance, to sustain the upcoming changes.

Organizations often find it difficult to move out of the status quo. And instead of bringing in a change, they pivot to the middle of any such changes. The reason is lack of Digital Dexterity.

It is, therefore, crucial for businesses to ingrain DIGITAL DEXTERITY in their organizations for their own survival.

Who owns Digital Dexterity?

The answer is simple, it is the organization. However, while the availability of necessary tools for Digital Dexterity goes Top-Down; it ultimately comes down to individual departments, managers, and personnel to embrace it. The buy-in at all levels is what will ensure the success of such initiatives.

Why focus on Digital Dexterity?

In the current times, many companies are transitioning from the PC-based environment to more sophisticated services figuring out their needs in the dynamic environment of AI and cloud. The gap is when internal workforces do not evolve as quickly to the adoption. This widens the disparity between the ‘rate of technology introduction’ and ‘employee’s ability to exploit the technology’. This gap is one of the biggest obstructions in the path to digital transformation.

Digital Dexterity is ergo, the answer to change how your organization uses technology to deliver business value.

Contactless Transactions: Digitally Transform your User Experience

As businesses are starting to reopen there have been some very important insights that have transformed a lot of things that we have thus far taken for granted. Speaking to our customers, partners and professional collaborators has given me some very crucial insights that are important for businesses to survive and thrive. I feel that technology can play a major role in putting those learnings and insights to work. It is a significant responsibility as much as it is an opportunity. I’d like to reflect on one of the technological touch points that have the potential to transform businesses- Contactless Transactions.

Technology plays a very vital role in enabling businesses to perform and scale contactless transactions. This is an opportunity for us to evolve and scale rapidly.

Digital Transformation is pivotal to this evolution and thankfully there are mature products and robust technology platforms that help us achieve this. With CMS IT’s experience of driving Digital Transformation programs across industries we think three key factors are critically important in evaluating your digital technology partner/solution.

Modularity: Modularity is a very critical factor in building a digital transformation. Modularity enables you to shorten your go-live time as well as your efforts in building applications. The Industrial Revolution, if not anything has taught us the true importance of modularity.

In the auto industry, almost all the manufacturers make different parts at different places and then assemble them all. The delays in individual parts do not hamper or affect each other and supports innovative design. Programmers have been using modular design for a long time. The technology you choose should be completely modular to help you get the best out of your Digital Transformation quickly and efficiently.

Treating each block on its merits will always be easier than revamping the whole architecture. Intelligent Automation and Data Science/AI/ML can be applied across the application universe to improve usability, efficiency, and several other insights. Analytical insights can be utilized to identify the specific event’s impact on operations, products, and supply chains. Automation can be deployed across processes to define alternative pathways for people, goods, and services. The monolith approach to enterprise is quite old and a risky affair today. A modular approach allows you to be agile, scalable, easily adaptable, and upstream/downstream-compatible in terms of technology. As and when individual applications change bots can be reconfigured to work with the new ones. Data sets can be modified to cater to newer applications in the modular framework.

Equilibrium: After having taken a modular approach, this is the second most important factor to truly drive business for your organization leveraging technology. I would not open my laptop at home for most of the things that I used to open it for a few years ago. I can do everything using my mobile. Well, you might be thinking that we already have mobile apps developed. But the question here is, why do you want to maintain two different silos of production. One for desktop and another for mobile. Why not embrace a solution which enables you to develop at once and it takes care of the rest? This is truly important because a lot of common folks like me prefer transacting on the mobile on the go and this would be a very crucial factor in growing business digitally. Equilibrium is the essence of the world we live in. Not just the consumer-facing applications – a lot of your key work transactions can be enabled to work across channels. The challenges of enabling omni channel have been overcome by technology- however, the design of solutions for omni channel is a huge opportunity. A well designed omni channel solution with the support of optimum automation can be transformational.

Experience: Customer experience is more important than ever. Bad experiences result in unhappy customers who may look for other options. Experience, as they say, is king and therefore is to my mind the single most important factor in a digital transformation journey. When I say customers, I do so broadly. Your internal customers are included, and, in a sense, your suppliers are your customers too.

Take for instance, the insurance industry that has a lot of regulatory procedures that are a load on the customer. If the company has gone digital and the customer goes to your website and you have lengthy forms online that she/he needs to fill to get a policy. It would be better if there are options that make similar transactions minimal- this could be an example of experience as a differentiator. I remember the experience tilting my buy decision in insurance, groceries, and in endless other transactions.

A fabulous customer experience truly has the power to influence consumer minds and several organizations have done it already. A technology enabler that easily empowers you to give your customers an incredible experience is key!!

A robust digital platform can provide the data required for analytical insights into optimizing the efficiency of supply chains, identifying automation touch points, and minimizing physical contact touch points in the business. The experience layer is combined with the contextual data that is progressively improving the ability for us to respond to the user priorities. The final win for digital experience and indeed for automation and data science is the success of the transaction. More importantly, the resultant customer experience is a function of the transaction success and transaction experience. With a combination of intelligent automation, data science, and digital experience we have the tools to move the needle with internal and external stakeholders.

How do you calculate Cloud ROI?

In general, there is always confusion between TCO and ROI. TCO is the Total Cost of Ownership and a component of ROI. TCO helps businesses focus on their core competencies and reduces the load on the IT department. When IT companies came out with the concept of managed services, they started looking at outsourcing their IT department’s functions to IT service providers. However, they retained minimal IT department resources and started reducing the Total cost of ownership. Cots products gave away inhouse resources of the IT department and further reduced the TCO. However, the real TCO reduction started when the cloud came into the picture. It totally reduced the capex cost and moved the infrastructure from the premises to a third-party premise. ROI on the other hand focuses not just on removing capex costs but also gives a return on investment for the customer. Let us look at the parameters that impact the ROI on the cloud.

1. Downtime: The single most important parameter that could possibly affect the return on investment is the downtime that happens across the IT systems. It affects customers, affects internal stakeholders and so on. Due to extensive experience, the public cloud service providers have drastically reduced the downtime due to Hardware Infrastructure. The second biggest reason for incidents is the application infrastructure. The cloud service providers not only abstracted out the hardware for the users but also abstracted the application infrastructure namely web servers, application servers, cache management, container management, application deployment and all these too. There were issues in deployment without a rollback plan. All the public cloud service providers apart from providing just hardware provided managed services for application infrastructure. Effectively downtime hours had been reduced by the cloud service providers both due to hardware as well as application infrastructure.

2. Agility: Agility is the ability to move quickly and easily. IT departments have been slow on deployments for the changes required by the business as the primary change is not only in the development code but the workflow that needs to change. The cloud service providers have got flexible workflows for deployment by bringing DevOps infrastructure into the cloud. The DevOps infrastructure of the cloud service provider provides Code Repository, Automatic Build, Automatic Deployment, and rollbacks followed by quick monitoring.

Autoscaling is an important parameter that is affecting agility. Quick provisioning of compute engines, creating security policies and attaching it to the compute engines, ability change at one place that gets reflected everywhere and so on. While Agility cannot be exactly defined in hours, the flow disruption occurs due to lack of agility.

3. Pay for what you use: In a traditional data centre model the resources are there even if you do not use it. A onetime irreversible budget was created. Irreversibility is the biggest issue in capex buying. There will be many idle resources and the capacity prediction has been a big problem. Cloud service providers solve all the problems of underutilized and over-provisioned resources. Hygiene issues can be automated. Resource usages are completely automated.

4. Technology deprecation: Every advancement in technology leads to cost reduction or capacity enhancement at a lower price. The cost of upgrading technology in a data centre environment is enormous. The process of doing POC, pilot and production is a long-driven process. However, public cloud service providers make it easy.

The final equation for ROI is always in terms of money. Converting the above tangible and intangible parameters into time lost or gained is important to calculate the return on investment. The ROI Equation will have an investment component. It has a traditional investment component as well. So, a simple way to calculate cloud ROI is as follows,
