Digital Transformation Challenges
IT pros are moving to digital—and fast
FROM PREHISTORIC TO PAPERLESS AND BEYOND
The workplace is evolving rapidly. Few know this better than the IT pros leading di-
nosaur organisations of yesterday into a new era through digital transformation. We
asked more than 100 IT decision-makers in Australia how far they've come in this
transformation, the barriers and benefits they've experienced, and how they're ensur-
ing their organisations don't go the way of the dodo.
Nearly half of surveyed IT pros say digital transformation is critical or very im-
portant to their organisations going forward, and they’re moving quickly to get
it done. From document digitisation to cloud and mobility solutions, digital
transformation plays an important role in the strategy of nearly 3 out of 4 Austra-
lian IT decision-markers.
65% cite improved efficiency and productivity as
their top goals, followed closely by cost reductions
(58%).
Limited budget
Tight budgets top the list of barriers for more than half of IT pros. Fortunately, as
the majority expect the switch will save their organisations money and time,
those barriers are easily overcome once they begin walking upright along the
path of digital transformation.

Cutting the work out of workflows
1 in 3 IT pros trust Canon to assist
in their digital transformation.
Data entry and document editing are the top admin tasks eating up workers’days,
and these manual processes can be unnecessarily tedious and pose a high risk for
human error. The average manual data entry error rate is accepted to be 1%, and
those minor mistakes can have massive costs.
To keep productivity at a peak, an ongoing approach to digital transformation is
a must. But given the importance of security, IT pros often see the need to part-
ner with a trusted provider to help them with the process.
Why should you be one of them? Wherever you are in the process of digital transformation,
Canon can help you evolve your organisation. Transform workers’manual processes into auto-
mated workflows, streamline your business processes, and capture, edit, retrieve,
and store information by creating a secure digital filing cabinet for your organisation’s docu-
ments. That’s the workplace of the future, and Canon can help you get there.
