Why Digital?

We are in the middle of a digital revolution where rapid technology and computing innovations continuously shape how we live, work, learn and shop.

This revolution started when organizations began converting assets and information into digital formats. Now, the race is on to fully modernize and transform to better harness the wealth of information being generated for sustained growth and competitive advantage.

Benefits of Digital

  • Improved organizational resiliency and operational speed
  • Enhanced efficiency, productivity and return on investment
  • Greater adaptability and responsiveness to changing needs for enterprise value and growth

Digital transformation is not about technology; it’s about reinvention. It’s not about automating processes; it’s about reimagining processes. It’s not a single project; it is iterative and transformative. It’s not a series of technology tasks; it is a business strategy for change.

What’s Driving Digital?

The accelerated pace changing customer needs and expectations, combined with a constantly evolving marketplace and heightened expectations for growth are all driving the need to become digital.

In a new study by NTT DATA, growing the business emerged as the number one priority for the next two years. That’s a far cry from last year’s study where 60% of respondents cited negative impacts from disruptions.

Along with this growth, institutions and businesses are developing an insatiable need for speed. In a race to stay relevant as marketplaces continue to evolve and reshape, companies are under constant pressure to get to market faster. While strategies to speed up will be unique to every organization, in this new world of flux, it’s only digital that will build an organization’s growth and fast-twitch muscles.

Successful businesses are becoming resilient and data-driven, while focusing on creating digital experiences that have lasting value for their customers and employees. There are four key levers to digital transformation success.
