2020 is the rise of more business trends in the technology industry that positively influences all other industries.


As an Export Business Advisor, I've seen the new business trend in March 2020. This Business Trend has five important factors that businesses need to be aware of in order to be able to Pivot or Thrive in 2021.


This business trend I am referring to is the "Data Processing in Business

Operations."

data processing

To have a sustainable business, waste management and crisis management

are essential assets.

The five important factors in business operations are as follows:

  • Factor 1: Financial Data Management

  • Factor 2: Internal Communication Data Management

  • Factor 3: Crisis Resistant Data Management

  • Factor 4: Waste Management

  • Factor 5: Database Management

Each factor needs to be carefully considered, and the needed Technology Tools should be in place, specifically in 2021.


The lack of secure data processing in most businesses made most of the businesses unable to pivot in time when most governments in several countries declared lockdown in the midst of the crisis caused by the pandemic.


The industries most affected were those that didn't have a Data Processing System that is automated and reliable.


The next case gives an overview of why the five factors are essential in making the decision to pivot during a crisis.

Case description:

Problem: The number of customers is decreasing based on the

data collected in 3 months.

Evaluation:

  • Which services are not in demand anymore?

  • What is causing the decrease based on the Data?

  • When were the first signs shown according to the Data?

  • According to the Crisis Resistant Management Protocol, which are the steps to avoid a crisis that may affect operations in the next month?

To have a secure Data Processing System in your business, it's important to have Cybersecurity Tools with the needed Internal Protection Protocols in place.


That's why if one of the five factors are missing, 3 major impact may occur in your business:

  • Economic impact, especially in cash flow management

  • Unsatisfied customers

  • Cancellation of several services that has an impact on the income streams

It's time to add the needed procedures in the five mentioned factors to successfully pivot and thrive in 2021.


We help businesses find the gaps in the mentioned factors and improve their Data Processing System with the needed Digital Resources.
