The challenges of digitalization for SMEs Opportunities

When we talk about digitalization, it's often a bit vague: "yes, we have to go all-web", "yes, an ERP would be great", but in concrete terms, it's fragmentation! Your company ends up with five pieces of software: one for sales, another for marketing, a third for inventory management, etc. (Yes, you can also get lost in the acronyms ERP, CRM.) The result? License costs that add up, disparate updates and time-consuming complexity. Not to mention maintenance: when each solution requires its own support, it's your IT team that spends its days playing fireman rather than steering the digital strategy. And the worst part? The consequences are not long in coming: loss of efficiency in your processes, lack of real-time visibility on your key indicators, and slower decision-making. Frustrating, isn't it? At this rate, how can you expect to grow when you spend 30% of your day doing manual work?
