Top 5 common mistakes in digitalization and how to avoid them
Digitalization is no longer a “trend”, but a necessity. However, many companies postpone or fail in the process because they encounter real obstacles. If you have asked yourself “why don’t you digitalize?”, the next step is to understand what the common mistakes are and how they can be avoided.
Here are five common mistakes, illustrated with Aliant solutions, so that digitalization is not just a project, but a competitive advantage.
1. Digitalization without a clear strategy:
Lack of a clear strategy that links digitalization to business objectives, technologies (ERP, CRM, automation, etc.) are implemented without being clear about what values they bring to the organization — for example, reducing processing time, increasing efficiency, improving customer relations.
How we help you: Aliant offers consulting and customization: before implementing, it analyzes the specifics of your business, objectives and challenges so that the solution is perfectly adapted.
Through Hyper Automation, Aliant connects key processes and automates repetitive tasks, eliminating bottlenecks. This means that digitalization becomes an integral part of the objectives — not just an added tool.
2. Underestimating internal resistance to change:
If the team is not prepared, does not understand why the change is needed or how it will affect their role, the implementation gets stuck or the solution remains completely unprivileged.
How we support you: Aliant includes the entire implementation process — not just software installation, but data migration, training and testing. This way, the team internalizes the change and becomes part of the process.
Constant support and continuous optimizations: after the launch, the technology does not “go away” and is left to its own devices, but Aliant stays by your side for adjustments, which helps people adapt and accept it.
3. Ignoring integration and flows between departments
Each department (sales, logistics, marketing, support, etc.) brings its own solutions to the table, without communicating with each other; this leads to disjointed, redundant information, wasted time and errors.
How Aliant intervenes: Aliant solutions (ERP, CRM, Ticketing) are designed to integrate key processes, so that you have centralized visibility and can act quickly based on data.
Hyper Automation synchronizes workflows, eliminates unnecessary blockages and reduces human errors. This means that information flows and decisions are made based on the complete picture.
4. Focusing only on technology, not on value and experience
“Latest” solutions are adopted but without being clear about the concrete benefits they bring — how to improve the customer experience, how to save costs, how much time and efficiency are gained.
How Aliant ensures that the value is clear and tangible: By using CRM as more than an organizational system — focused on personalized interactions, loyalty and opportunity generation. Through AI Marketing (Agentic AI) — automated campaigns, personalized messages, with measurable results. Less effort, but greater impact.
5. Ignoring data security
By implementing rapid digital solutions, without attention to security. Cyberattacks and data losses can seriously affect a company.
How Aliant guides you: Offer solutions that comply with international security standards, implement regular backups and rapid recovery plans. Train your team on best practices: secure passwords, controlled access, recognition of phishing attempts, and company data remains protected, and your activity continues without major risks.
Many companies fall into the trap of waiting for the “perfect moment” — whether it’s after the market stabilizes, when a larger budget appears, or “after the summer.” In reality, in the meantime, the competition advances, costs increase, and opportunities are lost.
Aliant shows you that there is no ideal time for digital transformation — there is only the right time to start. With scalable solutions, you can digitize gradually: from a simple process to automate, to a complete transformation of the organization. In addition, you benefit from complete implementation and continuous support, which evolves with your business.
Digitization is not just an IT project, but a profound change in the way the company works, how it interacts with customers and how it adapts to a constantly changing business environment.
