Digital transformation, maximum automation of processes, and minimization of the human factor at each stage is the path to transparency and preventing corruption. Digitalization in commercial companies helps owners control processes and be more open, which has a positive impact on the company’s efficiency and makes it more attractive to external investors. A case in point is the long-term experience of the IT-Enterprise team, says Oleg Shcherbatenko.
«If the system within the company is built correctly, there is no room for corruption schemes or fraud. The owner or manager can control all areas of the company’s operations, reports, results, and plans. Each person’s digital footprint remains in the system, so even years later it is possible to track down who made a mistake. Each document shows who exactly performed a certain operation or made changes. The more digital the company, the more manageable the processes and the less room for error, the so-called «human factor». Therefore, we see that process digitalization directly translates into business transparency and attractiveness to investors,» explains Oleg Shcherbatenko, founder and CEO of IT-Enterprise.
So far, Ukraine has made a huge step in the digitalization of public services. Electronic documents and public services have become available to citizens, and there are no analogous systems worldwide.
According to Mr. Shcherbatenko, Ukraine now has to make a digital leap in the digitalization of state and commercial companies, transitioning from Industry 2.0 to Industry 4.0. It is vital to keep up the pace and move from patchwork automation to a comprehensive system. However, today this is happening mainly in the private sector, where the initiator is the business owner or management. A more intensive movement would require a stronger message from government agencies.
IT-Enterprise, a Ukrainian product company, has been driving the digital transformation of Ukraine’s industry for over 35 years. The company’s founder and CEO Oleg Shcherbatenko is an advocate of Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 technologies and approaches.
The company works with clients in Ukraine, the European Union, and Eastern Europe. Since 2022, it has expanded its presence in the MENA region by implementing solutions for the largest manufacturers of cable and wire products: Ducab Group and Elsewedy Electric.
Earlier, Oleg Shcherbatenko repeatedly emphasized the need to prepare a comprehensive digital platform for the post-war reconstruction processes.
The company has been cooperating with the Come Back Alive Foundation and has been automating Ukraine’s military units since 2022.
