Digital transformation has been a watchword since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic when organisations advanced their digitalization by four years in the space of just six months[i]<\/a>. Two years on, the focus on digital transformation continues to shape the ways in which enterprises tackle today\u2019s\u00a0business<\/a>\u00a0challenges, namely managing complex\u00a0maintenance<\/a>\u00a0plans, ensuring on-time delivery, reducing unplanned outages, improving reliability, gaining actionable\u00a0business<\/a>\u00a0insights, and managing life cycle costs, amongst others.<\/p>\n

Organisations are now preparing for a future that maintains and expands on the gains made since 2020 when it comes to digitizing their\u00a0infrastructure<\/a>\u00a0and processes. In an always-online world, and with the constant emergence of new technologies set to irrevocably alter the way we work, asset-intensive businesses need to double down on their digital transformation initiatives to ensure they remain the frontrunners in their respective industries.<\/p>\n

Yesterday\u2019s\u00a0technology<\/a>, today\u2019s concerns<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Understandably, however, some companies are somewhat cynical about undertaking another large IT transformation programme. Typically, this comes down to budgets and concerns about downtime while the new\u00a0system<\/a>\u00a0is being set up. However, this reluctance also stems from the failure of pure-play enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementations of the past to deliver the expected value to asset management organisations, leaving both management and blue-collar staff disillusioned. Reasons for this had to do with the\u00a0systems<\/a>\u00a0being complicated and cumbersome to use. In addition, they were not easily integrated with other key\u00a0systems<\/a>. The implementation also required massive investment both financially and with set-up time. These issues are further compounded by failures in both\u00a0training<\/a>\u00a0and change management.<\/p>\n

Over the last decade, the\u00a0technology<\/a>\u00a0underpinning ERP\u00a0systems<\/a>\u00a0has changed dramatically thanks to advances in intelligent\u00a0technology<\/a>\u00a0such as AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics. No longer is ERP solely about transactional\u00a0systems<\/a>. Nowadays, it spans all of the day-to-day processes of an enterprise and is inherently tied to digital transformation to offer true value to asset management organisations. In fact, 95% of businesses achieve major improvements after using ERP through reducing process times, increasing collaboration, and centralising enterprise data[ii]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are four of the\u00a0business<\/a>\u00a0benefits offered by today\u2019s ERP\u00a0solutions<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Data-driven decision-making\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Today\u2019s ERP\u00a0systems<\/a>\u00a0are worlds apart from their predecessors, providing agility, integration with other\u00a0systems<\/a>, enhanced user experiences that are relevant to the particular user or process, and mobile integration for real-time visibility of the asset base. They also have the ability to process large amounts of data, and through improved analytics tools, businesses are able to make sense of that information so that data-driven decisions can be made.<\/p>\n

Mobility and increased employee\u00a0efficiency<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Take South\u00a0Africa<\/a>\u2019s fuel\u00a0pipelines<\/a>\u00a0and mines, for example, field workers can now instantaneously capture and share information about and photos of the state of an asset using mobile devices. In the past, they would have to make notes on a piece of\u00a0paper<\/a>\u00a0and then give this to someone in an admin office who would have to copy everything that was scribbled down over to the ERP\u00a0system<\/a>. The information gathered is crucial for compliance with organisational processes such as\u00a0Environmental<\/a>\u00a0Health<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Safety<\/a>\u00a0management. By having the capability to perform real-time analytics, real-time applications can be deployed if needed.<\/p>\n

Monitoring for\u00a0maintenance<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

ERPs also harness Internet of Things (IoT)\u00a0technology<\/a>\u00a0to monitor assets remotely, which in turn helps to expand their lifespan by providing early warnings about potential problems rather than waiting until something goes wrong, which can prove quite costly for organisations. This enables businesses to calculate when outages will occur during planned\u00a0maintenance<\/a>\u00a0so they can inform customers well in advance.<\/p>\n

Time and cost savings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Unlike in the past, where ERP\u00a0systems<\/a>\u00a0could take up to three years to install, now this can be achieved within a matter of weeks and in stages to ensure that the desired benefits are being realised. This is because integration is much easier and more seamless these days. Consequently, the\u00a0financial<\/a>\u00a0outlay and disruption to\u00a0business<\/a>\u00a0are reduced too.<\/p>\n

The cost is further minimised for those organisations that will need to upgrade their current ERP to the latest version. Those using 麻豆原创 should make the move to 麻豆原创 S\/4HANA, a next-generation\u00a0business<\/a>\u00a0suite designed for the digital economy, but again, this does not have to be a lengthy, laborious and expensive exercise.<\/p>\n
