Digital transformation (DX), while somewhat overhyped, should be a strategic focus for a business seeking competitive advantage. DX is often discussed in terms of customer-facing technologies like mobile apps. However, success in DX also depends on rethinking core operational and financial systems, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). In this context, Acumatica cloud ERP stands out as an instrument of transformation.  

What is digital transformation, and why is it important?

Digital transformation has more than one meaning, but in general the term refers to using digital technology to establish new, competitively differentiated types of customer experiences and vendor relationships. The implementation of omni-channel customer engagement is one example. With omni-channel, a customer can interact with a company over a mobile device, through an in-store kiosk, over the phone, on the web, in person, and so forth.

How does Acumatica drive digital transformation?

Cloud ERP enables companies to automate tasks and processes that support DX initiatives. DX will only work, after all, if new customer experiences are backed up by solid order processing, fulfillment and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions, among others. With that in mind, here are five reasons Acumatica Cloud ERP can drive digital transformation:

1. Enabling businesses to digitally transform their operations, becoming more agile and efficient in the process.

2. Automating key processes and moving to the cloud, making it possible to reduce costs and improve operational performance.

3. Offering access from anywhere, so employees can support customers and DX in real time, regardless of location or device.

4. Deploying a intuitive user interface that makes it easy for employees of all levels to use Acumatica Cloud ERP software effectively.

5. Scaling easily and adapting to changes brought on by DX.
