Why digitization is more than just technology
Many companies think of digitisation first on new Computer or Software. This falls short of the mark. Successful digitalisation of work processes, improved communication, and creates new opportunities. It is not, all at once turn around, but to make the right decisions.
The experience shows that The largest obstacles are rare in the technology, but in the organization. Employees need to be taken, processes, and often the corporate culture continue to be developed.
Typical pitfalls to avoid
Common mistakes are repeated again and again: companies buy expensive systems, without the workflows to think through. Forget about the training of your employees or under-estimate the time for the introduction.
The solution lies in careful planning and realistic timetables. Pilot installations in small-scale help to identify problems early and fix it. Jawnet IT Services has this approach in numerous projects successfully applied.
In practice, financial service provider: security and efficiency unite
Banks and insurance companies have special requirements for your IT. Safety first, but the systems also need to be efficient and user-friendly. At the opening of new locations for the St. Galler Kantonalbank in Frankfurt and Munich, and showed how these seeming opposites combine.
Secure networking without compromise
The greatest challenge was to secure the connection between the sites. Sensitive financial information could be compromised, at the same time, employees should be able to work seamlessly together. The solution: An encrypted VPN connection with redundant Internet connections.
This sounds technical, but had a concrete impact on the everyday work. Employees were able to access from any location to all the needed data without security compromise. The configuration of the network components, taking into account from the beginning to future extensions. Alexander Jawinski made sure that all the technical Details have been thought out from the beginning.
Modern Communication Systems
In Parallel to the network modernization, the sites received a new phone systems. VoIP technology has replaced outdated Analog connections, and enabled Features such as single numbers and flexible routing.
For the employees, the less technology-Stress, and more productivity meant. The Integration into existing CRM systems ensured that customer information was immediately available. This solution of Jawnet IT Services LTD is also proven in the case of later extensions.
Industrial Middle Class: Cross-Site Digitization
Other challenges brought by the digitization Braskem Europe with. The chemical company operates locations in different countries, and they needed an IT infrastructure that meets local requirements and global Standards.
Integration in the international IT-landscapes
The offices in Frankfurt and Vienna should be seamlessly integrated into the existing IT infrastructure in Brazil and the USA, are integrated. This required not only technical compatibility, but also the consideration of different time zones and ways of working. Jawnet IT Services has developed a tailor-made strategy.
Particularly expensive cabling with CAT-7 cables for future-proof data transmission. In both offices, the entire network had to be built infrastructure, because the existing installations to meet the requirements.
The conference rooms were modern equipment with HD Displays and video conferencing systems. The technique worked from the beginning, reliable – an important factor for the acceptance by the users.
Jawnet IT Services: coordination between continents
The challenge was the coordination with the IT departments in different countries. Each Region had its own Standards and processes to be taken into account.
Alexander Jawinski took over the Central co-ordination between the different locations. Its multilingualism and intercultural experience proved to be critical success factors.
Business Center: Scalable Digitization
The cooperation with Regus illustrates how digitization is also at a variety of sites to successfully implement. Over 60 business center modern IT should be given to infrastructure – each with similar requirements, but individual characteristics.
Standardization as a success factor
The key was the development of standardised processes, which could be flexibly adjusted. Each Business Center has received a basic equipment according to a uniform scheme:
- Central Server for E-Mail and file storage
- Professional Wi-Fi infrastructure for customers and employees
- Modern telephone systems with unified Features
- Standardized workstations with the latest Software
- Backup solutions for critical data
This standardization has brought several advantages: Lower procurement costs through larger quantities, easier maintenance due to identical systems, and faster problem solving by well-known configurations. Alexander Jawinski oversaw personally the quality standards at all locations.
Local adjustments without more effort
Despite standardization, each site had to be considered individually. The building had different requirements, the diversified customer structure and the local Internet service provider offered various services.
The solution lay in modular concepts which could be adapted for use. Fundamental decisions were taken at the centre, Details on site optimized. A uniform IT environment, which was still the local needs arose. Jawnet IT Services LTD was sure that, in spite of individual adjustments to the overall strategy has been complied with.
Long-term digitization strategies
Digitization is not a one-off project, but a continuous process. Technologies continue to evolve, requirements change and new opportunities arise. Successful companies are thinking, therefore, a longer period of time and plan their IT development strategically.
Investments shaping the future for sure
All projects focus on the question: How can the company develops in the next few years? New sites, changes in working practices or regulatory requirements can affect the IT landscape.
The answer lies in scalable solutions that can expand and customize it. Cloud Services offer new possibilities, but also bring challenges of its own. Has proven to be a mixture of local infrastructure and Cloud services, depending on the application. Jawnet IT Services advises customers individually to the optimal solution.
Change Management as a success factor
The best technology doesn’t help if the employees use them. Therefore, Change Management is part of any successful digitalization. It begins with planning and continues with training and Support.
It is important, the benefits for the individual employees on the other. No one changes his usual work processes, if he sees no personal Benefit. Who can show that the new solution makes life easier, has usually won. Alexander Jawinski places special emphasis on the human side of digitisation.
Performance measurement and continuous improvement
Digitization is only successful when the Benefits can also be measured. The conclusions of classical KPIs such as cost savings or efficiency gains, but also softer factors such as employee satisfaction or customer feedback.
Regular Reviews help to evaluate the success and to identify areas for improvement. Often, the true impact of digitization measure show up after a few months. Then there is a need to optimize to control, and the systems on a continuous basis.
The practical experience shows that digitalisation is best achieved when it is understood as a joint task of the IT and business departments. External partners can provide valuable support, the real change must take place in the company itself.
