The Digital Transformation Process: structured 6-steps approach

INDUSTRY 4.0 PARADIGM

We are currently experiencing what everyone calls the 4th industrial revolution in which we are faced with a number of digital technologies that enable the industry 4.0 paradigm. Therefore a vision according to which, thanks to these enablers, companies will increase competitiveness and efficiency through the interconnection of their resources (plants, people, information) both inside the factory and distributed along the value chain. Along this path, strategic planning such as the design of an appropriate roadmap that guides change is fundamental. Hermes Reply supports its customers in the digital transformation process through an end-to-end approach,  from the design of the roadmap to the introduction of technology and post-go-live support with a view to continuous improvement.
