"Necessity is the Mother of Invention."
As the saying goes, "Necessity is the mother of invention," providing solutions to troubling, time-consuming, or wasteful problems is critical to providing products and services. Time wasted means expenses. Therefore, if the solution’s cheaper than the expense, accepting it shouldn’t be a problem.
Generally, Digital Transformation (DX) aims to automate previously time-consuming work with the help of computers to progress work faster and more accurately. DX is not a new concept, as it was called Office Automation (OA) in the 1970s. It became more accessible with the introduction of PCs in the 1980s. Before that, people wrote documents by hand or by typing on a typewriter. Also, they used calculators rather than spreadsheets software to make calculations. These prior processes were inefficient, time-consuming, and costly. However, word processors and spreadsheet software efficiently solved these problems.
Current DX tries to reduce time and expenses by automating cumbersome processes and repetitive office work. In our current work, we include database development. Databases digitize customer data and information that we previously stored on paper, allowing them to be retrieved and processed instantly when needed.
Although it is said that "necessity is the mother of invention," the fact is that in many cases, customers aren’t aware of the problem in their current situation. It may be a good idea to review daily work and see if there are any repetitive and time-consuming office work and tasks.
