Previously, businesses have been very focused on digital transformation. The integration of digital technologies into all parts of the business has helped accelerate internal works and reduce the reliance on hardware, with an increasing number of enterprises moving aspects of their business to the cloud. Digital transformation has enabled sustainable innovation, and this has been commercialized in many forms – through personal data, digital health, AI and much more.

Disruptive technologies create tremendous opportunity for organizations to become smarter, more agile, more flexible, and more responsive.
