DIGITAL
TRANSFORMATION
Digitally enhancing business processes is perhaps the best decision you can make in a world running wild with computers and automation. Knowing how to embrace this transformational concept is perhaps the toughest challenge every entrepreneur is facing. Commercial and Open-source software, e-commerce and business process automation are already reshaping the world as we know it. It is the time to open your mind and take your business to the next level. Your digital transformation journey begins here.
What Is Digital Transformation
By and large, businesses worldwide have started looking at digital transformation as a solution to reduce costs whilst improving business processes.
In fact, according to Salesforce - one of the leaders of cloud automation solutions, digital transformation is "the process of using digital technologies to create new - or modifying existing - business processes, culture, and customer experiences to meet changing business and market requirements". Whilst a close-enough definition, it may miss the mark on several points about what digital transformation is.
This failure comes from the angle used to explain what areas of business this process affects and the expected result of the transformation.
Society Gets Transformed First
An army of smart people has invented and developed the digital tools we use today for a simple yet powerful reason: to make it easier to communicate and execute tasks in our daily lives. But in the process, they ended up changing how we communicate and do things. So, we ended up somewhere in the middle, changing ourselves and adapting technology to how we want to live. In other words, we went through a digital transformation ourselves and as a society. This change is a continuous process, and it also affects the business world.
How To Do Digital Transformation
Digital Transformation is the process a business can go through for changing and adapting the business model and strategy to allow for the implementation of digital automation and communication tools throughout the organization to increase efficiencies in all areas.
We talk about business models and strategies because we talk about transformation, not the mere implementation of digital tools. No business can implement digital tools without slightly adjusting how it operates and without changing how the human resources approach a business process. Thus, it is wiser to redesign the business by focusing on digitalization rather than just looking at implementing some automation tools or platforms. The process will result in changes to business processes anyway, but if the business is not ready for (sometimes) significant changes, the implementation will likely fail, either entirely or partially.
Discover The Digital World
Going digital also means understanding the associated transformations possible, from how we communicate with the market - customers, partners and suppliers - to processing the increasing amount of information we can collect using the new, global market.
Learning about new products and services we can provide sometimes means we reinvent the business, or at the very least, we expand it beyond what we initially thought was possible.
The digital world is a wonder, and embracing it will change the way we do business and live and your perspective on the world bot as persons and business entities.
Welcome to your journey to digital transformation!
DEPLOY

Cloud services have so many advantages one can barely keep up with the trends. They are suitable for any businesses, big or small. It’s just a matter of knowing what to choose, for the purpose. You can opt for commercial solutions or deploy custom built cloud solutions with security and performance in mind and build your online digital infrastructure the right way, solving your specific problems and needs, for the right budget.
Cloud Knowledge
Whether the budget is limited or not, hosting your digital infrastructure is a challenge - if you are a startup, a small business, or a large enterprise. Choosing your cloud hosting can be a significant challenge, both from a security as well as a performance point of view. We can help you make the right decision, run it and maintain it for you.

If something special is required, we can continuously tap into the large pool of specialists worldwide and get the help needed.
FOCUS
ON The Business
The greatest benefit from going digital is the amount of automation possible. Generating more revenue with less effort is what makes the difference and allows you to GROW by working smarter, not harder. You can redesign your business model for digital automation and we can make it easy for you.
What To Look For In DT
First and foremost, a business should focus on improvement, not on the idea of going digital. Not all business models and processes are suitable for digital automation in the same way, and one should not try to implement digital tools without proper consideration. The business may lose or alter its unique value proposition and competitive advantage in the process, leading to revenue loss.
Instead, the new business model, adapted to work supported by digital tools, should provide the direction for digital transformation. Using this approach will assist the business to find the appropriate automation, communication and implementation solutions and provide the path for a successful implementation.
Business Redesign
Implementing incomplete or misplaced digital automation is a waste of effort and budget. Just listen to the market talk about failed implementation projects, and you get the idea that this is a big problem. But very few discussions on the topic mention that business transformation is not only about the implementation project but also about the preparation that precedes the decision to launch it.
Analyzing the core of the business idea (why the business exists in the first place), the marketplace, and the customer base's behaviour is where the process starts.
Defining the idea behind the business and remodelling the way it works, combined with changes in strategy and tactics, are the three key elements that must occur before beginning the process.
This way, the solutions involved become apparent or easier to determine, leading to a successful rebirth of the business in the digital space.
At ViBuNe, we have compiled a collection of tools to help you redesign your business, and it's an exciting exercise.

Combined with a handful of improvements from various partners and some customizations of our own, we created a complete and flexible solution that our customers and partners can use to manage projects better.

CASE Study
If you’d like to know how digital transformation can positively affect a business, read this case study – about a kitchen renovation entrepreneur who transformed and completely automated his business and became a software provider for the home renovation industry.
A big scare
Several years ago, our customer (let's call him Marc) struggled to get results from his monthly digital marketing budget. A brand new website was ready to be deployed when the agency hired to build it suddenly stopped answering emails and phones. Marc asked us to help re-gain access and control to the domain, website hosting platform, social media and advertising accounts.
In the process, we started discussing how we could help to improve the situation from a digital automation perspective.
Creating a Strategy
Once everything was under control, we began working with Marc on two significant projects: customising and adapting an Open Source ERP system for the complete automatisation of the business processes, and implementing a new digital marketing strategy, in line with the business model.
Marc provided the concept and requirements, and our team came up with the solutions, the strategy and the roadmap for implementation.
We launched the projects on our project management platform, assigned the tasks, and the work started within weeks.
It was not an easy ride, as we had to find multiple solutions that we could integrate to provide complete control and perfect matching between the business and the automation solutions.
Amazing results!
Fast-forward two years later, the results are in, and they are impressive:
- The business is entirely automated, from lead management to project delivery
- The new website is getting increased traffic from multiple sources (organic, social, paid)
- The ERP system increased profitability by over 10%(!)
- Customer satisfaction skyrocketed
- Visibility of results and business analytics in all business areas has improved tremendously.
- Employees love the new systems as they can do more and work easier
Lastly, the owner has decided to commercialise the ERP solution and generate recurring revenue for his future retirement plans.
A perfect happy ending for a hard-worked digital transformation.
