Digital transformation : the modernisation of museums
Still too often associated with an "austere" or even "boring" image, especially by young people, museums can now count on digital transformation to breathe new life into the museum world. Indeed, the advance of digital technologies impacts museums and other cultural institutions in the same way as businesses. The digital transformation of a museum is built around a digital strategy operating on two levels : - In the "back office", from the point of view of administrative procedures, preparation...
How to establish your digital transformation strategy
Investing in digital technology is one of the top priorities of Swiss SMEs today, yet many of them are still lagging behind when it comes to digitalisation. In 2016, 76% of SMEs surveyed ina study by PwC Switzerland believed that digitisation would radically change the market in the next five years. This was before the arrival of the coronavirus crisis, which greatly accelerated the digitalisation of companies. However, the pandemic has shown that many Swiss SMEs are struggling to digitise, as...
Should we speak of digital transformation, digitisation or digitalisation?
The arrival of new digital technologies in the business world has permanently changed work processes. But it has also changed the vocabulary. From now on, we talk about customer experience, inbound marketing, big data, artificial intelligence, etc. And it is not so easy to find your way around all these terms, which are often closely related to each other. There are many articles on the internet about companies that have succeeded (or not) in their digitalisation, their digital transformation, or...
Accountants and digitalisation: Time for change
As in many professional sectors, the professions surrounding business accounting are undergoing a profound transformation thanks to digitalization. If the latter provides software solutions facilitating the mastery of accounting, the democratisation of its tools obliges chartered accountants to bring a new added value to their expertise. Fortunately, the explosion in the amount of data to be analysed, resulting from the very exploitation of the digital world, is increasingly placing the...
The need for digital development in the federal, cantonal and municipal administration
All the surveys say that the Swiss have confidence in their administration. However, the coronavirus health crisis has highlighted gaps or shortcomings. In a short time it has become clear that the digital transformation of the public sector is not optimal. The public service in this area seems to be lagging a little behind, while the public itself has already changed its behaviour. Social networking, online shopping and the immediacy provided by the internet on smartphones and tablets increase...
The challenges of the banking world in the face of digitalisation
In the space of two decades, the banking sector has had to deal with the arrival of a huge tsunami: the Internet and new technologies. The democratisation of mobile telephony and internet access has inexorably shaken the banking world, which is not known for its flexibility either in customer relations or in its own back office. The arrival of online banks, among others, has forced these large companies to begin their digital transformation sine qua non. The sector is currently tending towards a...
Digital transformation in the real estate sector
The real estate sector in Switzerland has a rather conservative image, seemingly rightly or wrongly hostile to change. However, forced or coerced, the players in sales and purchasing, as well as property managers, will have to rapidly initiate their digital transformation. However, some have already successfully negotiated the digital shift. Data management, dematerialisation, virtual reality and social networks are changing the game at all levels. Almost 100% of property purchases now start with...
SMEs and digitalisation
When we think of the Swiss business world, we tend to think mainly of the large multinationals, especially banks. However, almost 98% of all jobs exist thanks to companies with fewer than 250 employees, the so-called SMEs. And companies with fewer than nine people are the most numerous. This particular entrepreneurial world, as disparate in financial means as in personnel, has difficulty, according to many studies, in negotiating its digital transformation. New technologies and the Internet have...
Digital transformation: The great challenge for Human Resources Directors
With the digitisation, digitalisation and automation of processes, human resources departments are evolving into a new profession, into a more central role within the company. Under the condition that this one is well-prepared for the inevitable digital transformation. Although the HR department no longer produces pay slips or manages leave by hand, it must now face new challenges arising from new technologies. The management of data within the company and its security must be at the heart of the...
Digitalisation is having a lasting impact on professional sectors
The digital revolution we have been experiencing in recent years is bringing about profound changes in all economic sectors. The need for digitalisation is felt at all levels, not only by large companies or corporations. Process automation goes far beyond office automation. There are now digital tools that enable in-depth analysis of big data for marketing that is ever closer to the customer. New technologies work both ways: - the back office to facilitate and optimise the work of your employees,...
