A Brief
The constantly evolving technology landscape has changed how businesses are conducted, especially after the global pandemic disruption resulting in accelerated digital transformation.It became evident that you must rely on technology for flexibility and business continuity. Digital transformation or digitalization entails the shift from manual and analog procedures to digitized processes across all aspects of operations, including supply chain, ERP, and customer service. Digitalization comprises a wide array of technologies, including applications, software, networking capabilities, artificial intelligence, machine learning, augmented and virtual reality, the Internet of Things (IoT), sensing technology, video-based analytics, and the cloud.
Digital transformation is less about selecting a technology and more about selecting the appropriate technology that aligns with your intended outcomes. Thus, it is unsurprising that the global Digital Transformation market is expected to reach $3.8 billion by 2030
In today’s “digital” world of hyper-connectivity, a significant part of digital transformation is Cloud transformation.
About cloud transformation
Cloud transformation involves the transfer of workloads to the cloud, including data, applications, and software programs. You can also shift your IT infrastructure to the cloud if it aligns with your digital transformation objectives. Embracing cloud transformation empowers you to swiftly address threats and adapt to the latest work methodologies that integrate the digital assimilation of emerging technologies. Migrating to the cloud helps in achieving operational efficiency and business resilience. The global cloud computing market is projected to reach $947.3 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 16.3% through 2026.
Establishing a robust cloud strategy for every department within an organization helps you to navigate potential future disruptions effectively. To address evolving requirements, you cannot be hindered by outdated technology systems, especially since the pace of innovation, security threats, and data analysis complexities are rising.Embracing the power of the cloud and leveraging data becomes imperative to foster business agility.
