Debunking ‘Digital Transformation’ – start with the business challenges

Today Smart-Guidance[1] introduced Digital Transformation as a new theme – joining its work to raise awareness of the EU’s GDPR data protection legislation being enacted in May this year.

In our first look at digital transformation we identify:
*The massive growing importance of the term
*The need for a common definition of digital transformation
*The reason why suppliers often use such poorly defined terms
*Seven urgent business challenges driving the need for adoption
*The need to look at each industry sector separately to establish their specific needs

This is our first step in defining ‘digital transformation’ so we can compare and contrast vendor offerings and profile the challenges, solutions and benefits for customers in more detail in our upcoming research papers.

 

It’s a concept defining some particular sort of journey made by business and/or its partners and consumers. The trouble is we’re all starting from different places with multiple different destinations in sight’, says Martin Hingley (ITCandor).

Digital transformation is a process where the advances in IT and communications technology are leveraged and exploited to the benefit of businesses, their ecosystems and the wider society’, according to Dr. Mital Mehta (TekPlus).
