What is Digital Transformation?
Digital Transformation is not…
- DevOps
- Containers
- Agile
- Agile Marketing
- Larger percentage of budget to programmatic
- API’s
- Innovation silos
- Modernization
- Cloud
- Hybrid Cloud
- Lean Startup
- Hackathons
- Meeting accelerators
Picking one or two of the above and executing is not digital transformation.
Transformation is an effect or outcome of the digitization and digitalization of a business. Transforming processes, procedures and products as a way to change the way a company makes money and goes about its business.
