All bark, no byte: Why your digitalization efforts might be stalling

SUMMARY

Many organizations invest heavily in digital transformation but struggle to see results. Here’s how to spot when your digitalization strategy is missing the mark—and what to do about it.

1. The problem


Mismanaging your SU system has real costs — rework, duplication of SKUs, missed opportunities, non-compliance, data loss, extended timelines, added costs, and frustration.

2. Why it happens


Managing SU data is complex because it’s spread across different systems. Data islands form, and lack of integration slows progress toward Industry 4.0.

3. The solution


Centralize your data into a single library.

  • Standardize and format your data correctly.
  • Use existing systems as repositories to avoid duplication.
  • Establish a central SU authority and a single source of truth.
  • Collaborate with suppliers.

4. The outcome


Using your data keeps you in control — enabling faster impact assessments, 90% shorter E&L qualification time, 40% faster tech transfers, and easier maintenance of qualified states.
