Companies were then forced to accelerate these efforts to accommodate a particular component of digital transformation — supporting a remote workforce. A great article giving concrete examples on steps for a efficient digital transformation project.

Publishing and digital transformation: what does it mean to be a contemporary publisher? The publishing industry has changed profoundly and it continues to change with digital transformation, moving towards digital content, formats, tools, and media that are closer to the needs of readers. But what does it mean to be a publisher today?

7 Leadership Strategies for Counties’ Digital Transformation. Steve Monaghan, the veteran chief information officer for Nevada County, has published the fourth in a series of six essays for Rural County Representatives of California, a 39-member service organization that advocates for policies on behalf of rural counties. Now is a critical time for rural counties to digitally transform how they do business. Counties have been automating labor-intensive business processes for decades; think timesheets, payroll and tax bills. However, digital transformation is not about simple automation of labor-intensive processes. It requires re-evaluating how we deliver services, interact with our residents and function as an organization, then leveraging innovative technology to make those deep organizational “transformational” changes.

Ease of use critical to digital transformation, adoption. In a world digitizing faster than ever before, users are often confronted with a myriad of technology driven solutions, purportedly designed to offer enhanced integration, automation, and business intelligence. With so many emerging technologies screaming for attention, solutions must be differentiated to prove that they offer users true benefit and value. Today, ease of use is a crucial differentiator. A study conducted by the International Journal of Civil Engineering and Technology, and published on ResearchGate, reports that ease of use is a critical factor in digital transformation and the adoption of new technologies. The research showed that “technology adoption is affected by uncertainty, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness.” It also noted that compatibility and perceived ease of use are affected by the perceived usefulness of the technology in question.

From AI to drones: How 4G and 5G are switching on the factories of the future. When it comes to digital transformation, British manufacturing has a lot to gain. As we strive towards Industry 4.0, digital manufacturing techniques will help make production more efficient, safer, more accurate and more secure across a whole host of sectors. But this is only possible with the right connectivity – opening the door to the connected factories of the future. Working with British Sugar, we recently switched on a first-of-its-kind private mobile network, spanning multiple factory sites across a large geographical area. And while this was – of course – a huge milestone for us at Virgin Media O2 Business – it’s also a significant step forward for British manufacturing as a whole. Private networks like these are a big part of building the smart, connected factories of the future, with all the benefits this offers.

Accelerate your digital transformation with an effective sustainability agenda. Sustainability is a transformation opportunity for organizations, where they can leverage the power of data and technology to drive change. Environment sustainability is no longer restricted to being a corporate agenda or a compliance issue for organizations. Today, every stakeholder, from customer to investors, governments to employees are ensuring corporate board rooms are placing sustainability as their top agenda. While organizations are taking note of this, what is important to see is the outcome of their actions.
