Lessons on building digitally enabled businesses in SA
In the era of digitally-driven customer obsession, cloud and digital transformations are essential.
According to Forbes, “32% of IT budgets in 2021 will be dedicated to the cloud.” Forbes reports that 92% of CTOs say their IT environment (infrastructure, applications, data analytics, etc.) relies on the cloud, and this is predicted to grow to 95% in the next 18 months. On top of that, emerging technologies promise to revolutionise business across all operations.
However, keeping up with rapid developments in cloud and emerging technology can be challenging for organisations where these are not their core business. How can businesses be certain which solutions will transform operations and customer experience, and how should they be deployed and integrated?
