Did you know that nearly four out of five SMEs in Canada have not yet embraced digital transformation? If you are one of them, don’t worry : it’s not too late to make the switch! The COVID-19 crisis highlighted the importance of implementing effective tools for remote work, electronic document management (EDM), and administrative automation. Here are the top five reasons that may be holding you back and how to overcome them.
Adapting to new technologies and automated administrative tasks can be challenging, especially in turbulent times. The good news is that the digital shift can be carefully prepared, either internally or with expert guidance. Research shows that at least 75% of managers need to support a change for it to succeed. How can you achieve this?
Present concrete data on the benefits of administrative automation and accounts payable automation.
Communicate frequently with managers and employees.
Show how automated processes save time and simplify day-to-day work.
Engage your teams in the digital transformation to make it a collective success.
Remember: digital transformation is a human-centered project. Listening and informing your teams helps reduce resistance and ensures successful adoption.
Financial concerns are common when adopting new technology. However, the real value of EDM software and accounts payable automation solutions is revealed over time:
At Viridem, we observed that data entry efforts drop by 80% with advanced automated invoice processing software.
Average document search time decreases from 5 minutes to just 10 seconds.
Document processing times are typically cut in half or more.
