Get started on your digital transformation journey today.
But firms can find it hard to know where to start using the power of technologies like these. External expertise can shine a light on opportunities both for the digital transformation agenda and for taking advantage of new technologies.
A digital first approach gives SMEs significant advantages. They can adopt an agile approach, using digital technologies to streamline business processes, and better serve their workforce and customers. There are many new technologies that can be utilised by digital first firms. Three of note are 5G, Edge computing and the Internet of Things.
Summary
If you’d like to take advantage of the latest digital technology and become a more agile business, then we can help.
This is why there are firms which specialise in supporting SMEs through their digital transformation journey, helping with both the technical and the strategic aspects of the transition, and then with further improvements, integration of new technologies, and planning ahead.
But seeing where these opportunities lie is not always easy, and it can be especially challenging for those firms who have yet to make the transition to a fully digital first way of working. This is unsurprising. An SME that lacks in-house technical expertise can’t be expected to identify the best path and stick to it. After all, imagine selecting people at random from the street and expecting them to turn into a cup-winning football team overnight. This is obviously a non-starter.
Many SMEs can take advantage of these technologies. Any firm which handles large quantities of data may find advantages in both 5G and Edge computing. Firms involved in manufacture and production could find value in predictive maintenance. Firms with established large office setups may find the use of IoT devices to monitor many aspects of the business from energy use to building security (through innovations such as smart locks and cameras), could make financial savings.
Where to start?
The Internet of Things is still in its infancy, and devices can be found in a wide range of settings from home and office environments to public spaces. Most IoT devices communicate with other devices (so-called machine to machine communications). Data is collected, analysed and actions recommended without human intervention. There is obvious crossover with Edge computing in terms of fast data analysis.
IoT and machine to machine communications
Edge computing puts data processing close to the point at which that data is used. Doing this can shave very small amounts of time off the gap between asking a question and getting a response. It has a number of potential benefits for different kinds of business which need to process a lot of information at speed. Here are some examples:
High traffic web sites which analyse many different data elements to bring a result to users. The nearer a result is to real time, the happier the customer is and the less likely they are to opt out and go to a competitor.
Production lines. Edge computing can be used as part of a system that monitors each machine on the line, analysing data and spotting issues so that the line can be optimised before a system failure. This is known as predictive maintenance.
Smart home and office devices. Connected devices in the home tend to send data to a remote server for analysis, processing and suggestions for action. Edge computing can deliver results to devices faster. In both home and office environments this can result in faster actions, which can equate to cost savings.
EDGE computing
5G brings a huge boost in data communications speeds. There are many variables involved in calculating the actual data speeds anyone will get at any one time, but 5G can deliver download speeds up to 100 times faster than 4G. Speed is only half of the 5G equation. Latency is the other half. Latency refers to the time between action and response, and this much reduced on 5G networks. For SMEs the combination of faster speeds and lower latency can mean, for example, more effective video conferencing speedier login and smoother use of company systems over the mobile network.
Depending on the nature of your business any number of current innovations in technology will be worth exploring. Here are three examples of new technologies which may be of interest to a digital first, agile SME:
Without a digital-first approach based on a strong technological backbone, these operations are time-consuming, expensive, and technically challenging. The opposite of agile, in fact.
Depending on the nature of its business, an agile SME can check inventory easily, from anywhere, and manage the supply chain economically. It can use data about customer preferences and sales patterns to figure out where its weaker spots are, and work on improvements. And it can work with new technologies to improve existing services and set up new ones.
That might sound a bit unfathomable in terms of real-world application. So let’s dig a bit deeper.
When we talk about being ‘digital first’ we do so in the context of helping SMEs to become more streamlined and efficient in their operations. We often use the term ‘agile’ to help describe this process. An agile company can respond quickly to any need, customer facing or internal. An agile company can give workers in the field access to the same services as those in the office, and an agile company streamlines its processes and data management through digitalisation.

The government has announced a range of measures to help UK businesses with digital transformation. Digital Bootcamps, Scale Up Visas, R&D tax relief and more can help UK business access the talent and technology they need to survive and thrive in a post pandemic world.
Simplify procurement and streamline IT asset management with Supply Chain Optimisation
Enjoy a seamless, secure, and successful cloud journey with Cloud and Data Centre Transformation services
Accelerate your technology adoption journey with Connected Workforce solutions
In all these areas, the government aims to help UK businesses make the most of what digital technology has to offer. To fully take advantage of all these initiatives, SMEs already on their digitalisation journey and those who have yet to make a start should take a moment to consider their strategy and their next steps. But no business needs to do this in the dark. Insight can help you take your first steps towards digitalisation or develop your existing strategy.
The government is launching a network of talent hubs across the world to bring best and brightest science and tech talent to the UK. The first hubs will open in 2022, in the Bay Area and Boston in the US, and Bengaluru in India. This strategy should help UK SMEs draw in specialist skills to help them achieve their goals.
Global Talent
The
Network
There are several different types of visa available to those who wish to work in the UK. The new Scale Up Visa is expected to become available to people with a job offer from a UK eligible business with a minimum salary of £33k. It has potential to help UK firms who are going through their scale-up growth phase and need to attract the talent from a wide international pool.
Scale-Up Visa
tax relief
R&D
In his autumn statement the Chancellor announced that the scope of research and development tax reliefs would expand to include data and cloud costs. This could be transformational for SMEs that provide cloud-based services, as it will allow them to invest more heavily. The results should trickle down to SMEs who are on their digital transformation journey.
T Levels
These two-year courses that follow on from GCSEs were introduced in September 2020[4]. They mix classroom and workplace learning and cover a range of different subject areas. New for 2021 are T Levels in a number of technology related areas including digital business services, and digital support and services. Employers can offer the industry placements that are a key part of the T Level as a block, day release and even in partnership with another employer.
The government is offering free, flexible ‘Skills Bootcamps’ to adults over 19 who are in work or recently unemployed and live in England. The Chancellor committed to quadrupling the number of places in his Autumn Budget statement. The Skills Bootcamps cover a range of sectors and there is a whole section dedicated to digital skills including agile computing, artificial intelligence, computer aided design, and a host of coding, cyber security, and cloud-specific topics. Keep an eye on full list of boot camps[3] as additions are expected over time.

Digital Skills
Let’s take a look some of the areas where UK government initiatives can have a positive impact on SMEs as they embark on or continue their digital transformation journey.
Governments have a role to play in helping SMEs manage their digital transformation agenda, and UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak recently made some interesting and helpful moves in this direction in his 2021 Autumn Budget Statement[2] .
The OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) report; The Digital Transformation of SMEs[1] notes that smaller firms across Europe lag behind in digital transformation – and that this is an issue because digitalisation is an important driver of productivity and wage growth. But the report also notes that Covid has been a game-changer. During the pandemic, 75% of UK SMEs have moved to remote working, and around a third invested in new digital capabilities.
Digital technologies have helped many businesses overcome challenges arising during the pandemic. They have helped with remote working – both setup and ongoing support – with predicting and managing supply chain issues, with streamlining access to data and other resources, and in many other ways.
We all know how tough the last two years have been for business – and that the pandemic doesn’t look like it’s going away any time soon. Waves of restrictions of varying degrees of severity in different countries may be the pattern for the near and even mid-term future. Amid this uncertainty, businesses will need to manage multiple factors, from supply chain to staff availability. Business needs to learn to live with this, and flex accordingly.
