Digital Transformation, or DX for the initiated.
It’s a term we’ve all come across in the last few years, as enterprises attempt to drive greater operational efficiency and take advantage of new opportunities by adopting digital technologies such as the cloud, that can finally replicate what their legacy systems have been doing for years.
It’s no wonder that Forrester expects one in four CIOs to take ownership of driving digital business innovation a key part of their roles in 2019. And IDC expects worldwide spending on technologies and services to enable DX to reach $1.8 trillion in 2022.
Clearly, there is a strong desire to implement DX strategies among even the more risk-averse businesses, thanks to the added agility, functionality, and scalability that digital technologies bring, not to mention the cost-cutting opportunities.
