Waiting for the right time to move forward with technology and digital transformation? NOW is the PERFECT TIME!
The recent agreement on a new tax bill gives small, mid, and large organizations historic changes on their business income taxes and deductions. This is GREAT NEWS for those companies looking to move forward with new and updated technology.
Business owners who have sole proprietorships, partnerships and companies structured for tax purposes as S corporations have significant tax breaks. Under the new GOP deal, they can deduct up to 20 percent of their business income.
C corporations, which include some small businesses and ALL of the Fortune 500 companies, will be taxed at a new rate of 21 percent, compared to the current range of 15 percent to 35 percent.
In Section 179 of the agreement, companies can write off many types of equipment and technology purchases up-front, rather than depreciate them over a period of years. Companies are now able to deduct $1 million in purchases, up from the current level of $510,000.
Organizations need to evolve and address the changing business landscapes to stay competitive. However, some business owners are slow to adopt a digital change because they are concerned about business process costs or growing short-term revenues. These worries are short-sighted.
The new tax bill and increased deductions will help organizations invest in themselves and implement needed technologies. Digital transformation is key for these organizations. New and innovative business models are created to improve the experience of employees, customers, partners and stakeholders. These tech strategies bring together people, data and processes to create value for customers and maintain a unique, competitive advantage.
Aggressive organizations are using the new tax bill to enhance systems such as their ERP, CRM, SharePoint, Office 365, Cloud and Cybersecurity strategies. Cloud solutions like Microsoft Office 365 or Dynamics 365 can help your staff operate at peak proficiency in a streamlined work environment. Identity and Access Management strategies such as Azure AD and Okta can help protect your organization from cybersecurity threats.
As you understand your internal needs and your customers behaviors, you’ll be in position to create a digital plan and choose the right technologies to meet your needs. Customer expectations keep evolving. The bottom line is that technology is transforming the business world. There is no question that digital transformation is no longer an option. To stay competitive and survive, you need to build a business that can adapt its technology and strategies rapidly to take advantage of the many benefits of digital technology.
