The trend of

digitalization around the world has been unstoppable. All countries have announced policies on digitalization, digital economy and digital transformation , and have begun to vigorously develop. In China, led by state-owned enterprises, central enterprises and a large number of medium and large enterprises, digital transformation is constantly spreading to enterprises in various fields, gradually becoming a wave, not only spreading to many modern enterprises, but also affecting a considerable number of traditional enterprises.

These traditional enterprises realize the importance of digital transformation and want to implement digital transformation through various methods, but in the process of exploration, they found a problem, that is, what is information transformation? Some of these companies have never been exposed to informationization or digitalization at all, and are very unfamiliar with them. Some have also carried out preliminary informationization construction, but that's all. So a question is right before us, whether to carry out information transformation, or what is the difference between information transformation and digital transformation, whether it needs to be carried out at the same time, or whether the two have a sequence, etc.

Information transformation

In fact, to be honest, informatization is not a new thing. Related concepts, technologies and applications have been implemented very well in many scenarios in various industries, and are continuously optimized in continuous updates and iterations. If there is no clear perception in daily life, either the company's related business management is relatively solid, or there is no concept of informatization, and even if you encounter it, you will not realize that this is the value created by informatization.

In fact, as early as more than ten years ago, the "National Information Development Strategy for 2006-2020" proposed the relevant definition of informatization. Informatization refers to the historical process of making full use of information technology, developing and utilizing information resources, promoting information exchange and knowledge sharing, improving the quality of economic growth, and promoting the transformation of economic and social development. So even from the perspective of time, we can find the difference between information transformation and digital transformation, which is also a stage that must be experienced in the transition to the digital era.

For enterprises, information transformation has become the infrastructure in the modernization process. It can be said that it is an inevitable choice for standardized and standardized processing after the enterprise's business has developed to a certain level. The information transformation of an enterprise is to transfer traditional business processes online and can be processed remotely through the system, saving a lot of manpower, time, and energy costs, and greatly improving business efficiency.

In corporate work, such as ERP, OA, CRM, etc., we often see, these are various business systems selected by enterprise informationization. To give a relatively simple example, before an enterprise transforms information technology, employees need to write a paper application for leave and submit it to the leader layer by layer before they can conduct approval, verification and other processes. It will take a long time to go through the complete process. Through OA system , employees can take leave online remotely, and managers can also directly review and verify remotely. Others such as reimbursement, clock in, and research are the same, which has successfully helped companies achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

Digital Transformation

Before, I heard many people say that there is not much difference between information transformation and digital transformation, it is just that the name is not unified. In fact, to be serious, the difference between the two is actually quite big. For example, information transformation has been developing for more than ten years, while digital transformation has only emerged and became popular in recent years. Or information transformation emphasizes information construction, while digital transformation emphasizes "rebuilding" the overall enterprise and creating new business models.

Summary, digital transformation refers to the use of all related technologies of digitalization, based on data, and centered on users, and by reshaping the original business processes, organizational structures, and business management, creating a new or reshaping the existing business model and achieving business innovation. Digital transformation can allow enterprises to gain new market competitiveness in the digital era, provide products and services that meet the needs of users and markets, and achieve new growth in the rapid growth of the digital economy.

and there is another thing worth emphasizing that the information transformation of an enterprise can be completed with the aforementioned ERP, OA, CRM, etc., plus the overall planning of the management personnel. However, digital transformation is a system-level project that requires senior management to re-plan from top to bottom and change everything in the company. In this process, business intelligence BI, data middle platform, etc. are part of the transformation and are one of the components that need to be integrated into the blood of the company for a long time.

Information transformation and digital transformation

I don’t know if anyone has read the previous article on the position of business intelligence BI in enterprise information construction. It mentioned that there are two stages of enterprise IT information construction. The first stage is business informationization, that is, through ERP, OA and other business information systems, to transform the business, realize online, standardized, and process, and then accumulate a large amount of business data through the business system; the second stage is data informatization, which is what people usually hear about, such as big data, business intelligence BI, data analysis, data mining, data reports, visual reports, etc.

After understanding these, after understanding information transformation and digital transformation, you will have a deeper understanding of this, and you will also understand that the two are not conflicting, but complementing each other. If we carefully observe the cases of digital transformation enterprises, we can find that information construction is also the basis for digital transformation, because only after this stage can enterprises accumulate a large amount of data assets, and it is needless to say that the demand for data for digital transformation is needed.

So information transformation and digital transformation are a complementary relationship, which is why enterprises will now use business systems on a large scale when undergoing digital transformation. The implementation of digital transformation must be based on process optimization and business data provided by enterprise informatization. At the same time, data analysis, data visualization and various reports in digital transformation will improve business development capabilities. The relationship between the two and drive each other is a better choice for enterprises.
