Digital transformation is a big concept that can be hard to understand. For some, it’s something that only IT organizations should worry about. For others, it’s confused for a digital strategy (which isn’t the same thing). To help illuminate what digital transformation actually looks like, here are five digital transformation examples across industry enterprises:
1. Tulsa Community College
Tulsa Community College (TCC) is the largest two-year school in the city. To serve roughly 25,000 students each semester, TCC employs more than 2000 people across four campuses.Like many colleges (and perhaps one of the most common digital transformation examples for colleges) TCC relied heavily on manual, paper-based processes before going digital. For its staff, this meant scrambling to review and approve applications and various request forms that frequently required sign-off from faculty on neighboring campuses. For its students, this meant schlepping paperwork from one location to another to hunt down signatures.With an interoffice mail system in place, the shortest turnaround time for forms was six hours. More often, the staff at TCC contended with time-consuming and tedious workflows rife with back-and-forth.With ProcessMaker’s workflow automation suite, TCC was able to transform its campuses, speed up response times and approvals, and focus more on delivering an exceptional student journey.
2. P2 Energy
P2 Energy is best known for providing accounting and financial software to energy corporations. With offices in 12 cities, P2 Energy has a diverse client roster and is home to almost 700 employees.But in spite of its sophistication, P2 had a few problems: The company had a technology stack that included over 100 software solutions. And its workflows lived in a specific application that didn’t include the company’s lease approval process.As its customer base grew, P2 struggled to justify its use of outdated and expensive-to-maintain platforms that required staff to pull information from various sources. They needed a workflow solution that would complement their existing systems while empowering them to efficiently meet the needs of all customers.Then P2 adopted ProcessMaker. As an , this enabled P2 to embed powerful, efficient workflows into their existing solution suite. Most importantly, it enabled the organization to connect several systems into one platform to solve customer requirements across the enterprise and at scale.
