During the global pandemic, we have seen how IT trends that were already underway have been accelerated. The strongest path forward for companies seeking to stay competitive is only through digital transformation. Almost three-quarters of respondents in a survey titled Operational Agility is the New Imperative said they would accelerate their efforts to transform their business.
As business conditions change and IT becomes more complex, organizations are focused on improving their agility. 80 percent of organizations say they will need to be more agile to address changing business conditions, according to Forrester.
Planning ahead is essential for reimagining the fundamentals of your key business processes. Manage, configure, and automate your infrastructure for security, compliance, and performance. Data visibility across all your functions and infrastructure also needs to be done.
Why does digital transformation seem to be slowing down?
You need to be agile to accomplish your business goals. As Forrester has noted, organizations face real challenges in ops automation initiatives, including:
- Supporting multiple platforms and services by integrating multiple tools
- Collaboration and analytics are hampered by data silos
- Using out-of-date infrastructure technologies
- Team productivity is slowed by tool complexity
- A lack of efficiency due to isolated areas of automation
In order to accelerate digital transformation, more than just technical challenges have to be overcome. Implementing your new solutions in a secure, consistent, and simple way is crucial to maximizing adoption and return on investment. The most important thing is to provide your users with an engaging, intuitive experience.
Platform-based approach to transformation
A platform approach to digital transformation is viewed as crucial by businesses in a variety of industries. The objective of a platform approach is to bring together platforms that will interact well together, with common capabilities and greater information sharing.
