The Value of Industrial Cloud Software: A Pivot to Digital Transformation

Digital transformation is rapidly changing manufacturing organizations of all sizes and types. Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing initiatives, a subset of end-to-end digital transformation, further accelerate this pace of change. The goal is to become agile and adaptive by creating intelligent processes and adopting new technologies. In today’s competitive market, manufacturers cannot afford to be slow in responding to changes in customer demands, industry standards, new regulations, and emerging trends. Reacting and responding quickly to industry disruption and establishing an adaptable, digital foundation are paramount for all manufacturers.

A need for agility (for example, to quickly pivot to a new product line), technology adoption, and improved processes are top priorities for global manufacturers. Transformation is key to an organization’s success because it empowers manufacturers to improve their business with increased efficiency, measurable performance, and the enhanced agility they need to respond to market adversity.
