In this new connected world, disruptive forces are coming from all directions
and enterprises must be prepared for competition, not just from known peers
but also from next-generation born-digital companies. These fresh start-ups
are not encumbered by physical legacy constraints or a mindset that limits
how they see the world. They do things differently. They listen to customer
requirements, experiment and are set-up for continuous delivery, seamless
integration and are able to respond rapidly with actionable intelligence.
Innovative transformational solutions, commonly available on the internet, are
hard to replicate within the enterprise. It may appear seemingly trivial to
integrate systems and data that are primarily in enterprise control. However,
the complexity and inflexibility of deeply-entrenched legacy systems make
this task hard. Responding with alacrity, on a continuous basis, requires a
culture that is agile and encourages innovation and experimentation at speed.
Users today have an insatiable appetite for compelling experiences. They
expect and get them in their personal lives on the Internet, and they expect
the same from their enterprise applications.
Bringing Digital Transformation
to the Enterprise
Users expect experiences which make their job easier. Experiences that
are task-centric, actionable and personalized for individual use. User demands
will continue to evolve and the business must test, experiment and respond
continuously and by design.
