In recent years, the Polish economy has been undergoing dynamic changes. A particular sector of the market that is changing before our very eyes is industry, and a key role in it is played by industry. Modernization of this sector is becoming a priority because it provides the foundation for further sustainable economic development in the country. Contemporary challenges require agile management and adaptation to new realities, and digital transformation, especially in the form of cloud computing, offers countless opportunities for improving efficiency and competitiveness.
Digital transformation, especially cloud-based, can transform the face of companies, improving the security of systems and data and ensuring business continuity. These are the highest priorities in building IT strategy and the most urgent investments within the company’s digitalization – comments Marcin Gwóźdź, President of the Management Board at Polcom.
The role and challenges for industry in the country
The industrial sector is significant for the stable functioning of the national economy. However, it faces the risk of cyberattacks and the need to adapt to an increasing number of regulations. In this context, data integration and effective management are becoming increasingly important for achieving success in the market. Industrial companies must also increase their level of innovation to compete in the international arena.
Data integration, process automation, and ensuring compliance with regulations become easier with the use of modern digital solutions. In this context, cloud computing appears to be a rational and effective strategy for approaching IT infrastructure. Cloud computing technology for industry allows companies to efficiently implement modern digital solutions into their production plants around the world and avoid downtime.
Ensuring business continuity requires effective risk management, including identification and elimination of potential threats. To this end, companies should implement appropriate procedures and technological solutions, such as monitoring and alert systems, system and data redundancy, and disaster recovery planning.
The cloud, as a flexible and scalable platform, is the ideal environment for implementing IoT solutions. It not only enables secure storage and processing of large amounts of data generated by devices but also fast and efficient introduction of new solutions and updates.
In 2018, Protech faced the challenge of digitalization. Among the many solutions, the company considered the migration of key systems, including ERP to the cloud, to be crucial for initiating the process and maintaining the continuity of the production process – admits Piotr Słanek, Member of the Management Board at PROTECH.
A future based on innovation and sustainable development
Adapting to new trends, such as digital transformation, is becoming necessary for the further development of the industrial sector. The cloud offers scalable, secure, and compliant solutions that can support companies in their pursuit of sustainable development.
In the face of changing economic realities, it is crucial to understand the role of digital technologies, such as cloud computing, in ensuring the effective functioning of the national economy. Proper use of these tools can increase efficiency, optimize processes, and enable faster access to the necessary IT resources, which can be key to competitiveness and the dynamism of economic development.
