Digital Transformation is the enhancement of business and organizational activities, processes, competencies and models. Such enhancement occurs by leveraging the changes and opportunities in a strategic and prioritized way, with present and future shifts in mind. It’s is a key initiative for enterprises that want to reach new customers and offer greater value via technology. Conducting a Digital Transformation Readiness Assessment can help you find out what is needed to make it happen.
Changing user expectations, new modes of engagement, and the need to improve responsiveness are the main factors driving organizations to update outmoded processes and develop new applications as part of a digital transformation strategy. But in order to deliver on the promise of Digital Transformation, organizations must also modernize their infrastructure to support speed, scale, and change. Traditional monitoring and alerting strategies do not provide the visibility and agility needed to operate in today’s elastic environments running on the cloud and in containers.
According to a 2017 BT survey, nearly forty percent of CEOs currently have digital transformation at the very top of their boardroom agenda. A May 2018 Gartner Survey revealed that sixty-two percent of CEOs already have Digital Transformation initiatives underway. These initiatives bolster enterprises that want to reach new customers and offers greater value via technology. In order to deliver on the promise of Digital Transformation, organizations must modernize their businesses to support speed, scale, and change. Traditional strategies do not provide the visibility and agility needed to operate in today’s competitive landscape.
A Digital Transformation Readiness Assessment allows our team to engage with your business in order to assess your current pain points. This crucial phase demonstrates how a list of Digital Transformation tasks can best help identify potential areas of vital growth and restructuring within your company.
