Welcome…
New digital technology allows companies to reimagine business models; giving rise to disruptive market entrants. This shift is accelerating in every industry and compelling every organization to transform into a Digital Enterprise to not only survive but to thrive. Digital transformation isn’t just about technology, its understanding the disruption chain that leads to dematerialization and democratization of goods and services through digital platforms.
THE DIGITAL ECONOMY IS FUELED BY DATA:
Organizations that will win in the digital economy are the ones that give all their employees, partners, and customer’s immediate access to the most relevant information they need to answer every question, understand their businesses, and seize new opportunities.
Unfortunately, the promise of “insights for all” has not been fully realized in most organizations. According to industry analysts, only 10% to 20% of people in an enterprise have access to analytics that deliver tangible benefits.
