Three trends of digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises

The digital transformation of manufacturing industry is a process of integrating the new generation of information technology with enterprise R & D and design, production and manufacturing, operation and management, marketing services and other aspects, accelerating the in-depth transformation of enterprise development concept, business mode and value creation mode, and realizing closer interaction between enterprises and stakeholders such as employees, customers, suppliers and partners to jointly create value.

The digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises is a new feature and mode of the integration of the two. Under the guidance of "digital transformation partnership action", the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises will enter a new stage, showing some new characteristics.

Digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises

1、 From the perspective of factor empowerment, the power of digital transformation of SMEs is accelerating from "technology driven" to "data driven".

The core of digital transformation is to open up the enterprise data chain, guide the circulation and sharing of data in the whole production process, business links and process cycle of the enterprise, and drive technology flow, material flow, capital flow and talent flow with data flow, so as to promote enterprise business innovation and mode change. In the past, small and medium-sized enterprises used to use technological thinking to promote digitization, and were used to building it platforms and purchasing business information systems to improve the application level of single point and single link informatization. With the support of the idea that data has become a new factor of production, small and medium-sized enterprises will pay more and more attention to the convergence of their own data resources, strengthen the construction of data management capacity, and realize "talking with data, making decisions with data, managing with data, and innovating with data", and promote business innovation and transformation with data application innovation.

2、 From the perspective of process empowerment, the digital application of small and medium-sized enterprises has penetrated into the whole process from common links such as management and service.

Small and medium-sized enterprises cover a wide range of industries, including wholesale and retail, manufacturing, commercial services, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, hotel and catering. Digital transformation requires "thousands of enterprises in many aspects", and it is difficult to form a general and systematic digital solution covering the whole process in a short period of time. Driven by the consumption Internet, many manufacturers use e-commerce platforms to expand online business, precision marketing and o2o services. Driven by the epidemic isolation mechanism, more enterprises carry out collaborative office, mobile commerce and other remote businesses based on the mobile office platform, exploring a practical path with strong operability and high replicability for the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, which will lead more enterprises from the common business management Promote the migration of relevant business systems to the cloud platform, purchase cloud services, and promote the transformation from easy to difficult.

3、 From the perspective of platform empowerment, the digital transformation path of small and medium-sized enterprises is from the integration of external industrial chain to the reverse upgrading of internal transformation.

Digital transformation is a systematic, long-term and high investment project. It is difficult to accurately define when and to what extent the cost and benefit will reach a balance. Most of the small and medium-sized enterprises have a weak informatization foundation and lack sufficient digital platform or digital business operation experience. They are faced with large capital cost constraints in purchasing systematic digital solutions and building digital platforms. In contrast, it is easier for small and medium-sized enterprises to join the "virtual industrial cluster" based on the platform, with industry leading enterprises and Internet platform enterprises as the main body. By participating in networked collaborative projects such as crowdsourcing, crowdsourcing and innovation, they can contribute their own technologies, resources and capabilities, and share market orders, marketing channels and revenue sharing. With the gradual establishment of a win-win digital ecosystem, small and medium-sized enterprises have gained sufficient experience in information docking, benefit improvement and capacity building, and then promote their own digital construction from the outside to the inside.

In short, the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises is not achieved overnight. It is necessary to actively build a digital transformation ecosystem with Chinese characteristics through the action of digital transformation partners, together with the government, enterprises, industry, University and research parties, and the whole society to jointly "empower" the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises.
