Get Your Users Excited about the New Technology

WIIFM - i.e. What's in it for me? - is the key to getting your people excited about the technology you're adopting. If the new technology that you're implementing can dramatically reduce the amount of manual work that your employees want to avoid at all costs, they should be jumping for joy that you're providing a solution that helps! 

Some of the manual processes on top of the "automation wish list" for many organizations include vacation time approval, new employee onboarding activities, and recording sick days. Not only can these be automated, but by integrating them with Microsoft Teams, it makes it even easier for your people to use! Automation can be done efficiently, with little time and financial commitment. In fact, automation of one manual process can be done within a day.

What is the true cost of low user adoption?

To calculate the true cost of low technology adoption, take into account three significantly important factors: 
mistake

Employees will choose to implement their own shortcuts to make their jobs easier.

low engagement

Improper technology implementation means a drop in productivity and less engaged employees. 

security

These lead to higher employee turnover and cybersecurity breach incidents.

Cybersecurity should be the foundation of any digital transformation journey. Just the way a house needs a solid foundation, your business's technology framework should have a solid cybersecurity practice and plan.

Business Apps

SMBs tend to use 10+ business applications and large corporations can use 100+ business applications. Are any of your business applications serving similar purposes? Are your business applications integrated with each other?

Infrastructure

Your infrastructure, such as networks and servers, should be able to fully support your organization, whether it's on-premise, Cloud-based, or a hybrid approach. Cost-efficiency, reliability, and scalability are some of the keywords to keep in mind.
