The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way how we do business. With offices closed and supply chains upended, companies had to shift to digital spaces and adopt new technologies to ensure business continuity during unprecedented times.
Business Research and Insights reported that businesses scramble to keep their employees working and their customers buying. This Digital Revolution brought by the global health threat forced companies to accelerate the digitization of all operations at a surprising pace. This covers Customer Service, IT and Software Development, Online Digital Marketing Services, Finance, and other back-office operations to keep the business thriving.
According to McKinsey’s report, the Digital Revolution’s effects are long-lasting. (1) changing customer needs and expectations, (2) employee preference for working remotely and (3) migration of company assets to the cloud are most likely to stick through recovery. Hence, businesses’ digitization efforts should be fast-tracked.
But there’s an underlying gap between businesses’ digital transformation and recovery–that is the ongoing tech talent shortage in Australia. As borders closed in 2020, skilled migration was also put on hold. This talent crisis is also pushing IT salaries to go up, leading to a significant increase in operational costs. What can businesses do to overcome these challenges?
