Your Expert Guides to Digital Transformation

From digital neophyte to data-driven pro, wherever you are in your journey to digital maturity, we can help. At InflexionPoint we have over 40 years of experience helping the world’s largest and most demanding companies solve their toughest operational challenges — from automation and controls, to intelligence, analytics, and AI — and SMART Transform is a proven process to help ensure alignment between your business goals, operational challenges, and technology solutions. Here is our four-step process:

Discovery & Information Gathering

A comprehensive review of your operation’s current state through interviews, walkthroughs,, document reviews and more, with a focus on: workflows; infrastructure; IT-OT; data governance; people and culture.

Strategy & Collaboration Workshops

Live interactive sessions are conducted with cross-functional teams to validate findings from the discovery phase, map critical processes and identify pain points or inefficiencies, prioritize business objectives, and explore DT use cases.

Follow-Up & Gap Analysis

We dig deeper into areas such as data silos, integration challenges, asset reliability, quality issues, and resource constraints, and benchmark current capabilities against industry standards.

Roadmap & Recommendations

The final output is a detailed Digital Transformation Roadmap, including: goals; phased execution plan; technology requirements; change management strategies; training; timeline; and budgets.


The Era of Digital Transformation Has Arrived

Analysts have been promising for almost a decade that Digital Transformation (DT) for industry is coming. It’s finally here. Investment in industrial DT has been accelerating in the last few years and today industrial companies are investing at least 5% of their annual revenue in DT projects, with higher investments to come. The SMART Transformation process enables you and your team to take a confident, well-informed first step in your DT journey. It ensures your initiatives are grounded in operational realities, guided by strategic priorities, and supported by a phased, achievable roadmap for implementation.
