Altitude B2B Consultants has been recognized by CIO Applications Magazine as the exclusive recipient of “Top 10 Digital Transformation Solutions Companies - 2023,” based on our proprietary methodology, reflecting its position in the industry, and is also named among “,” reflecting its broader leadership. This profile has been developed by the CIO Applications research and editorial team based on insights from an interview with Jonathan Stacey, CEO.
Jonathan Stacey, CEOFor this reason, digital transformation slowly transitioned from a mere buzzword to a necessity for business growth.
However, its quality did not grow along with its reputation. According to McKinsey, over 70 percent of attempted digital transformations face severe setbacks.
Surprisingly, all failed attempts have something in common: They treat digital transformation exclusively as a “technological update”.
Digital Transformation is much more than that.
To solve this riddle, Altitude B2B Consultants reveal that digital transformation is a strategy-first venture, including a technology update as an extra.
“A successful digital transformation begins with a future-proof strategy. Before implementing modern tech, an organization needs to do two things: a) reform its decision-making towards digital innovation and b) provide its teams with proper cultural and skilloriented training. The rest will follow,” states Jonathan Stacey, CEO of Altitude B2B Consultants.
This way, a business achieves decisive growth and scalability in today’s competitive landscape.
Who They Are
Above all else, AltitudeB2B prioritizes practical results over industry buzzwords (“AI”, “Machine Learning”, etc.).
They distinguish themselves by two things:
a)Offering cost-free digital transformations to their clients through governmental grant funds:
As a Canadian business, they prioritize Canadian funding programs like the Canadian Adoption Program (CDAP) and other similar programs.
Moreover, their services include writing and securing grant proposals for their clients before executing the digital transformation.
b)Focusing on small-scale operations rather than extensive business cases:
How They Work
When partnering with a business, AltitudeB2B’s first focus is discovering their needs regarding strategy, culture, processes, and infrastructure.
To do this, Altitude B2B avoids one-size-fits-all processes. Instead, they engage in project-discovery meetings to enable precise project scoping and “tailor-made” solutions with specific tools and resources.
Once projects are set, they ensure clients understand each project’s expectations and progress, while constant monitoring offers possible readjustments.
Focusing on scalability, AltitudeB2B aims to guide decision-makers closer to strategic growth rather than meddling with mundane tasks.
Process-wise, AltitudeB2B first analyzes the clients’ existing technology to identify bottlenecks and other challenges. Then, they develop a future-state operating model by utilizing cloud-based technologies, workflow optimizations, and automation.
This way of working has been trusted by a multitude of companies across different industries, with a recent use case following below:
Use Case
A brick-and-mortar retail company addressed their inventory and management challenges across various sales channels to AltitudeB2B seeking a solution.
The client initially relied upon Excel spreadsheets and an outdated and expensive management system with no integrations. This manual work resulted in over 200 people hours monthly at $50/hour on average = $10,000 cost to the client per month.
AltitudeB2B replaced the costly order management system with an efficient inventory management solution that also eliminated manual tasks, which reduced their license fee on their outdated order management system and drove administrative hours worked from 200 down to 20 hours per month. Cost savings were over 90%.
Adding to that, AltitudeB2B’s fractional technology and operations officers (FCTOs) executed a digital transformation, streamlining the client’s day-to-day operations to drive even further savings!
Approaching Success
AltitudeB2B Consultants has a unique approach to measuring success.
Instead of rigid criteria, they collaborate with clients to define success parameters at the project’s outset, setting clear deliverables and project completion criteria.
This approach allows the flexibility to accommodate significant changes, with payment aligned to milestones, benefiting both parties.
Altitude B2B Consultants serves as a reliable partner for small to medium businesses embarking on their digital transformation journey.
Focusing on client funding, efficiency, tailored solutions, and a deep understanding of business challenges, they stand distinguished in the digital transformation landscape.
