The Journey to Digital Transformation – Rewards AND RISKS
The road to digital transformation is paved with risks and rewards, and incorporating programs for information security, risk management, and control are necessary tolls along the journey to reducing losses, maintaining constituent trust, and protecting your bottom line. These risks, while potentially debilitating, can be effectively managed with a number of mitigating strategies and approaches for identifying, assessing, and managing cybersecurity risk and resilience.
Understanding that an organization’s policies and standards should serve as the foundation of its cybersecurity program is key. When aligned with industry best practices, they assist with addressing statutory, regulatory, and contractual requirements for cybersecurity and privacy. From these policies and standards, procedures and other program-level guidance should provide the specific roadmap for how they are implemented and managed.
From deciding which digital security standards to benchmark against industry best practices (e.g. NIST CSF or ISO 27001), a decision that is impacted by individual goals, risk maturity, certification requirements, time and cost; to executing said framework and maintaining compliance via information security management systems, control measures, and audits, we are your guidepost for assistance along the way to digital security.

Preparing for Digital Transformation - Cybersecurity Workforce Development, Training and Education
The journey to digital transformation includes incorporating opportunities for information security, risk management, and control to reduce losses, maintain constituent trust, and protect your bottom line. These opportunities, while potentially challenging, can be effectively managed with strategies and approaches for identifying, assessing, and managing cybersecurity risk and resilience…with cybersecurity training being of paramount importance to most organizations.
Understanding that an organization’s policies and standards should serve as the foundation of its cybersecurity program is also key. When aligned with industry best practices, they assist with addressing statutory, regulatory, and contractual requirements for cybersecurity and privacy. From these policies and standards, procedures and other program-level guidance should provide a specific roadmap for how they are implemented and managed ...again, training is essential.

Examples of Digital Transformation - Limitless Use Cases with RPA
According to Gartner, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is software used to integrate an application’s user interface to automate routine, predictable tasks. RPA tools deploy software scripts, with runtime executables referred to as software ‘robots’ or ‘bots’, that mimic a human process or task within a workflow. We configure these bots to complete tasks you assign and control and provide your users the ability to automate almost any business process.
In other words, our customized RPA robots utilize the user interface to capture data and manipulate applications just like humans do. They interpret, trigger responses, and communicate with other systems to perform on any number of repetitive tasks…only substantially better. Our RPA software robots never sleep and make zero mistakes. They complete business processes, just as a person would, but in less time, with greater accuracy and at a fraction of the cost.
For example, within IBM Maximo, we can address the manual, time consuming and often tedious requirement to automatically:
- Insert/Update Purchase Orders (POs) in Maximo from a MS Excel spreadsheet
- Update Currency Codes from the XE.com site
- Create an Item Master from a MS Excel spreadsheet
- Send approved POs to Vendors from Maximo.
We can also use RPA for data migration, for initial data loads, and to periodically update data in Maximo.
Quite frankly, the use cases are limitless, and we look forward to demonstrating how this inexpensive and non-invasive enhancement will ultimately save you money and time by streamlining manual processes, increasing efficiency and accuracy, and reducing errors, waste and downtime…a significant impact to your business outcomes, and resulting in substantial ROI.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to augment Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
- Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is licensed software used to integrate an application’s user interface to automate routine, predictable tasks using structured digital data. RPA tools deploy software scripts, with runtime executables referred to as software ‘robots’ or ‘bots’, that mimic a human process or task within a workflow. These bots are configured to perform tasks you assign and control and provide users the ability to automate almost any business process.

VR/AR/MR and Serious Games for Training and Education
- Developed as a delivery framework for Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR) and Serious Games, our Immersive, Interactive Virtual Workplace (i2VWTM) solutions provide the latest in training and learning technologies and strategies that fully leverage the concept of experiential learning—learning by doing, to facilitate collaboration and to streamline the learning curve, and the novice to mastery continuum!
- VR/VW encompasses all virtually immersive experiences, and is created using purely real-world content (360 Video), purely synthetic content (Computer Generated), or a hybrid of both.
- AR is an overlay of computer-generated content on the real world. The graphics cannot interact with the environment beyond what the camera captures, and computer-generated content and the real-world content cannot interact with one another.
- Mixed Reality: MR is the integration of AR with the real world. It removes the boundaries between real and virtual interaction.
‘Workplace of the Future’ – Post Covid
Celebrate our 10-Year Anniversary as your source for sustainable workplace strategies and solutions. From Hoteling, Shared/Hybrid Workspaces, Alternate Work Schedules (AWS), and Telecommuting to working as a Digital Nomad, our Sustainable Workplace Strategies (SWSTM ) and Immersive Interactive Virtual Workplace (i2VWTM) solutions provide tailored options for safe and sustainable Post-Covid work.
These all serve to enhance the efficiency and flexibility in the use of ‘brick and mortar’ space that is traditionally dedicated, expensive, and mostly unoccupied, leading to a 20%-50% reduction in costs as well as associated improvements in utilization and performance. Incorporating i2VW technology solutions also allows for access and collaboration on demand – anytime, anywhere (at the client site, in transit, or from home).
