Transformation
Digital Transformation has gained significant attention due to the recent demands for change from both internal and external sources. It has now become an essential initiative for all companies, reshaping how business is conducted and encompassing various aspects such as creating new business models, expanding market share, addressing technology debt, enhancing the digital customer journey, and optimizing operational costs and capacity.
​
In response to an increasingly digital world, organizations across different industries and regions are expected to continue investing in digital transformation. While the projected investment in digital transformation varies based on industry and region, there is a unanimous agreement that it is witnessing substantial growth. This growth can be attributed to the widespread adoption of digital technologies, cloud computing, big data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and the exponentially growing need to elevate the customer experience (CX).
