Digital is not a destination or a goal, but an ongoing journeyGoing

My take on Digital…

Going Digital means IT grows beyond business,as usual. It is not a destination or a goal, but an ongoing journey that evolves along the way. While ensuring core operations are in place, a new progressive vision is envisaged and a long term technology roadmap is defined for the enterprise taking into consideration customer requirements and business goals on the one hand, and understanding emerging technology trends,new products and services being offered, on the other.

It implies a smooth transition and change in culture and mindset all across the organisation rather than isolated and disparate technology initiatives. It would include:

• Building an agile infrastructure which allows seamless integration of platforms, devices, systems, processes and people
• Re-visiting of exisiting business processes to design end-to-end real time, efficient, dynamic and well aligned workflows
• Breaking functional silos in the organisation and fostering Cross-functional collaboration
• Using actionable insights through Analytics and Data driven decision making across the organisation
• Maximising Business Outcomes by leveraging the benefits of the latest technologies which can be implemented in the enterprise such as AI, Robotics,IOT, Cloud et al.
