Technology has been at the forefront of all innovation over the last decade. The importance of technology adoption across sectors in recent times can be principally attributed to its several uses and benefits that help make business operations more profitable and streamlined. Further, the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has played its part in making technology the need of the hour. At present and age of hybrid and work-from-home modules, digitization has become a must for all organizations.

The present times have witnessed a very unpredictable industrial landscape due to the pandemic's volatile phases and its consequent restrictions. In this scenario, firms, whether large, medium, or small, have decided that the smartest way forward is rapid technological adoption. Thus, technical tools of automation and regulation have become a common feature of businesses today. Some benefits that digital transformation is working to ensure to the companies are listed as follows:

Enhanced Productivity
Digitization and automation seek to reduce manual labor. Since jobs get done automatically through the help of specially designed software, it gives a chance to firms to employ their manual labor in better-suited tasks, thereby enhancing productivity. Further, naturally, operations carried out by computer software are much more precise, error-free and quick than manually conducted operations which enable work to continue at a quick pace and without any errors. This boosts productivity levels as more work gets done correctly in a lesser amount of time.

Augmented Agility
Speed and flexibility are two things that technology is well known for. Technological tools available in the market today are so comprehensive and advanced that they can perform complex and intricate tasks in unbelievably short timelines. This adds to the pace at which operations are being conducted and helps businesses save minimal and precious resources on time.

Further, technology can be tailored to suit the distinct needs of different enterprises in most cases, which makes its infusion a helpful tool for all firms alike.

Cost-Effectiveness
By enhancing the efficiency of operations and minimizing errors, the use of tech and
automation in the day-to-day processes of a firm can help reduce costs drastically. Here, technical infusion seeks to save the monetary costs and the implicit costs of labor and effort.

It is known that recruiting and maintaining a manual workforce is a far more complicated and expensive process than implementing technology in operations. Further, manpower is subject to fatigue, sickness, boredom, and accidents which are not the case with automated tools. No matter what the season, time, or place, technology will always continue to serve top-notch, error-free work in usual circumstances.
Lastly, humans are subject to frequent and drastic errors, which seldom happen in the case of work performed through automated mediums. Thus, overall, one can say that technical infusion and automation is indeed a cost-saving boon for industries in the present times.
