8Manage SaaS: Coronavirus Boosts Enterprise Automation

2020-03-24

Global consulting firms such as Booz Allen and McKinsey & Company have been urging enterprises to do digital transformation for efficiency and competitiveness reasons.  Here comes coronavirus and we can add the benefits of healthiness and avoidance of company shut-down to the list.

Small and Medium-size Businesses (SMB) are suffering from coronavirus disease to avoid coronavirus transmission and company shut-down, not only employees in your department need to be online, employees in all other departments in your company need to be online.  In addition, the following external partners that your company deal with also need to be online:

-Clients, 
-Potential clients (e.g., visitors, members, leads), 
-Suppliers/vendors/contractors, 
-Potential suppliers/vendors/contractors (e.g., under recruitment or pre-qualified)
-Channels (e.g., agencies, resellers, distributors)
-Potential Channels

The new business processes will need to flow through multiple departments internally and multiple partner organizations externally since the objective is to have the business information fully digitalized and the business processes fully automated so that people can understand each other and work efficiently without the need for physical meetings (high communication bandwidth) but use remote meetings (lower communication bandwidth) instead.  

Using the following example to illustrate: A company signed a sales contract to deliver products and services a month ago and it already started the product procurement and the delivery project, the client is now requesting to change the product quantity and project delivery schedule, which implies the sales contract, the procurement contract and the delivery project need to be changed and the business process will need to flow through at least the company’s sales , procurement, project, finance and legal departments internally and its client and supplier’s organizations externally. 

Full automation such as above typically was done by large corporations spending money on Enterprise Application Integration (EAI).  But Small and Medium-size Businesses (SMB) need full digitization and automation as well to avoid coronavirus and company shut-down. Can SMB acquire several different SaaS and do EAI themselves?  The answer is unlikely since EAI is expensive and even SMB are willing to pay the high cost, they might not have the IT sophistication to manage the high accidental (not essential) complexity of fragmented SaaS.
