Sage, a global enterprise software provider, says red tape and a skills deficit are impeding African Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) from transforming digitally. The company says that when providing services to African countries, it faces several challenges, including regulatory and policy barriers, legacy systems that are not easily compatible with modern, cloud-based solutions and a shortage of skills required to implement and manage human resources technologies. "Navigating diverse regulatory environments can be complex, especially when different countries have varying rules regarding data protection, privacy, and digital transactions," says Gerhard Hartman, regional vice-president, medium business, Sage Africa and Middle East, in an interview with ITWeb Africa. During the interview, Hartman shared some insights from Sage’s recent market study, the Changing Face of HR Report Research Report , which was conducted in seven key countries: the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Spain, France, and South Africa, and found that HR tech adoption rates in cloud HR are 46% for medium businesses and 40% for small businesses.

Strategies to Achieve Industry 4.0 With Simpler, Powerful Automation

Strategies to Achieve Industry 4.0 With Simpler, Powerful Automation Source: Zebra Technologies Despite a good deal of investment over the years, the manufacturing and engineering sectors are a long way from widespread operations in ways that could be described as ‘Industry 4.0’. For many, the daily pressures from supply chain prices, fluctuating demand, personnel shortfalls, and the cost of investment are preventing the required transformation. Yet factories with fully connected infrastructures, where OT and IT are unified, are able to scale and adapt, working more efficiently in rapidly changing markets. The facilities that will prosper in the long term are those that have committed to sustainability, have an empowered and flexible workforce, and possess a technology infrastructure that allows a responsive, data-fueled basis on which to face the future. While 92% of manufacturers place digital transformation at the core of their strategy , the disparities in approach to and motives behind the technological investment of the C-suite, OT operations professionals, and the IT department need to be examined and resolved. This article looks at the similarities and differences between stakeholders’ priorities and assesses the three areas – workforce, OT automation, and data (IT) – that can be transformed to […]
