Abstract

Companies, especially SMEs, are struggling with the digital turn. Technologies are ready for use. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is not new anymore. Apparently, the change is not straightforward. For a better digital future, a bigger perspective and greater responsibility for decisions around digital technologies seems to be necessary. Digitization has now become a social issue. A look at the basics and principles of digitalization will lead us to some theses. With the help of some insights into companies, we embark on a search for successful practices and challenges in digital change.
