What is digital transformation for small business?

And why should you care?

Because the term digital transformation has been used so widely and for so long, you might have written it off as just another corporate buzzword or a phrase that doesn’t apply to small businesses.

But once you get past the hype and jargon, digital transformation simply means digitising existing manual processes. When an entrepreneur moves from using a shoebox to store handwritten receipts to entering sales into a cloud-based accounting system or a grocery store digitises its inventory process, the business undergoes digital transformation.

Small businesses come in many sizes and shapes in the UK. You might be a manufacturing company with 150 employees who assembles circuit boards, but rarely needs its staff to touch a traditional computer, tablet, or mobile device. Or you may have ten employees that manage a complex cloud-based infrastructure. Or you might be a remote-first company that depends heavily on collaboration technologies and mobile applications so employees across the globe can work together easily.
