10 technological trends: M2M, Industry 4.0, Mobility, Cloud, Process Automation, etc, that we offer you as a digitizing agent.
Five years ago, we talked about the 6 technology trends that would set the agenda for CEOs and CIOs of companies in the coming years, and we were right:
Today, these topics are still very topical and certainly a priority on the agendas of all companies. And in this new edition, we are going to expand the list to 10.
The use of these trends is causing a major paradigm shift, as companies do not compete with each other, but compete in ecosystems of companies with very different business models.
Internet of Things (IoT) and M2M (Machine to Machine), which is the application of IoT in the industrial and manufacturing fields. They represent the evolution of the Internet, which is already making enormous progress in its ability to collect, analyze, and distribute data that can be converted into information, knowledge, and, ultimately, the basis for making accurate decisions.
IoT is made up of a disparate set of disparate, custom-designed networks. Today's cars, for example, have a variety of networks to control engine operation, safety functions, communications systems, etc. As the IoT evolves, these networks, and many others, will become more connected and have greater security, analytics, and management capabilities, through IoT devices that will do more and more to help people and organizations achieve their goals.
In the industry market, they can already benefit from this IoT technology through solutions such as Oracle's JD Edwards "IoT - Internet of Things Orchestrator," which helps companies avoid the potential pitfalls of both implementation and production.
Among its benefits are:
Industry 4.0 establishes the framework of reference or digital excellence that should guide the sector's investments in the coming years. Companies, thanks to total real-time connectivity and remote diagnostics, will be able to predict rather than react.
This will give them a competitive advantage based on the ability to anticipate decisions of their consumers, logistical and operational needs, thus deploying flexible and agile business models that will allow them, with complete certainty, to displace traditional businesses and lead their markets.
Unikal 's approach to help those companies that do not know how to adopt Industry 4.0 is to identify the most common problems of the industries in which we develop our services and deploy solutions adapted to the realities of our customers.
If we take as a reference that 50% of the stoppages that occur in manufacturing lines are identified when they occur or that 4 out of 10 manufacturing managers do not have real-time visibility of what is happening in their factories, we will understand the real potential that the technological enablers available today have.
Today's technological advances offer us the best possible environment for the digitization of an organization.
Digital transformation allows the setting of short-term objectives that can meet and even exceed initial business expectations. The digital environment is constantly changing and evolving, and new digital trends must be managed by experienced professionals to differentiate themselves from the competition and thus extract and expose the full potential of each of their businesses.
For this, it is important that the client understands the importance of finding the way in which digitalization is part of and merges with the overall strategy of the business. By researching and creating new avenues for growth, with the help of digital transformation, all the necessary analog resources can be generated to drive corporate growth and development.
Currently, there are aids to digital transformation, thanks to the aceleración Pyme plan.
Cloud technology or cloud services are one of the main resources for the digital transformation of a company. Its benefits provide the flexibility and accessibility necessary for a greater fluidity of processes and, in addition, with a minimum initial investment cost, since they eliminate CAPEX from the equation.
The resources provided by the cloud, such as servers, applications, storage, networks, or services, can be used on demand quickly and efficiently, minimizing management time.
It is important to have a 360º vision of the Cloud environment to obtain all the benefits that this model can offer to your company. It is essential to know the huge catalog of cloud applications and solutions that exist in the market today. Our commitment and experience, and specialized teams can help you implement cloud solutions, with a minimum investment and start-up times that will invite you to extend the model in your organization.
A Business Intelligence solution guarantees the best way to exploit and add value to your company's data so that it is not only about having the information, but also about having it at the right time, in the right place, and in the right format or device.
Implementing a Business Intelligence system will allow you to consolidate in an integral way all the information of your business and will provide you with a set of tools to exploit it, analyze it, present it, and share it with great visual and analytical richness, thus increasing your productivity.
At Unikal we have a wide experience and certified teams in the implementation of data analytics solutions such as Oracle Business Intelligence both on-premise and cloud (Oracle Analytics Cloud), Data Visualization solutions such asOracle Data Visualization or Tableau Oracle Data Visualization or Tableau. Oracle Data Visualization or Tableau, or Business Intelligence projects in an integrated way with solutions such as Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), Informatica PowerCenter, or Microsoft Integration Services (SSIS).
BPM (Business Process Management) represents a way to manage and improve organizational performance by optimizing and managing business processes through a closed cycle of modeling, execution, and evaluation. Tools such as Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) bring these benefits:
BPM solutions offer the perfect alternative to all those manual and distributed processes that are carried out based on mail, calls, chats, etc., saving time, avoiding possible problems since there is no audit of the processes, a reduction of operating costs through the application of improvements to our daily operations.
Facilitating business mobility is a vitally important aspect to access new business opportunities and increase productivity. To achieve this, it is necessary to strategically select the mobility technology solutions to be applied. The objective is to achieve a precise multiplatform development, according to the client's needs.
Transforming the company by focusing on its mobility allows us to optimize resources to the maximum and achieve outstanding efficiency in all processes. In this way, we achieve greater growth and precision in the operation of the main segments that make up the organization. Flexibility of use is the key.
Among the alternatives to achieve the adoption of mobility in the context of the Organization, Unikal highlights the CLOUD to take advantage of the "mobile" capabilities that it implicitly offers and thus expand mobility to its business applications.
For the launch of a global enterprise mobility strategy we find solutions such as Oracle Mobile Cloud Service, a complete service for the development, management and monitoring of all corporate mobile applications that offers not only the development framework and a multitude of integration components, but the ability to comprehensively manage the entire lifecycle and evolution of mobile applications under a pay-per-use format, which will eliminate the CAPEX of the investment.
The collaborative environment and the expansion of social networks have made possible a more fluid and instantaneous exchange of data between companies and customers, continuously transforming contractual relationships and business policies.
Managing the right business solutions is essential to acquire all the benefits that the digital era puts in our hands. A collaborative environment helps the goal of companies that want to take a step forward and offer their products in a global and secure framework.
At Unikal, we believe it is important not to lose sight of what Big Data represents. We define it as the 4V's, i.e., Volume, Velocity, Variety, and Value.
A Big Data project normally has 4 fundamental phases (once the strategic objectives of the organization have been defined and agreed upon regarding the use of Big Data):
Cloud and Big Data are concepts that go hand in hand; most of the volume of data comes or will come in the short term from Cloud environments, whose cost is per use, to make its use feasible for all types of companies, and not only those of large size and with large financial resources.
Analyzing the alternatives of providers, there is a player that undoubtedly leads the environment and the change, and that is Oracle, a company that guarantees you:
The principle of technological sustainability is very simple: opt for technologies that are focused on the principles of sustainability. They are those who, through reuse, recycling, conservation of natural resources, and energy efficiency, reduce pollution. Therefore, they minimize environmental impact.
In Unikal, we have extensive experience in these and many other solutions. In addition, we are a certified company and appointed as a Digitalizing Agent as part of the Digital Kit initiative of the Government of Spain, with which we can help in the process of digital maturation of your company.
