Digital transformation has morphed from a trend to a Central Component of modern business strategy today

Going Digital - what does it mean to you and your organization?

I think, “Adaptability” - is more vital to business than ever. Look at how the role of Cloud Computing in recent times has evolved. As an organization - we believe that these new trends and technologies will be at the core of digital transformation efforts in 2018 and many will continue far beyond the next year. A digital organization goes well beyond the technology side. We believe “Digital is a mindset” first. It means to seize the opportunities ahead.

What is your Digital Transformation plan, strategy and the deliverables you expect or already coming in?

Our Digital Transformation Plan is based on four pillars:

a. A clear digital strategy. The digital strategy needs to articulate how to truly support the business and enable it to achieve its strategic goals.

b. Digitally-proficient workforce. Digital is a separate skill set from old IT

c. An innovative and flexible culture. Change is now a constant: old fixed mindsets will not do.

d. An impassioned and committed CEO.
