Enable with Technology
Technology is critical both to building a winning strategy today and executing it.
The business strategy must take advantage of the recent advances in technology to meet customer expectations and to stay current with aggressive competitors:
- Customers demand fast, easy interactions and service
- The Internet of Things (IoT) means products can be enhanced and automated in ways not previously feasible; self-service is becoming preferred service for routine transactions.
- Production, distribution, and service can be automated in ways not previously feasible.
Effective IT is critical to every business process area; without it, customer expectations and competitor capabilities can only be matched by expensive “sneaker ware.” New solutions including cloud computing, open-source, and supplier partnerships mean that the latest technology can be accessed even by some of your smallest competitors.
If financing is needed to facilitate the IoT, production and distribution automation and/or information technology investments needed, our financing partner, American Business Leasing, can help.
