these disruptions have removed the lines between physical and digital. For those businesses that seek to lead the digital transformation, they will need to rapidly respond to changes in customer expectations, remove the limitations of the traditional omni-channel experience, and innovate around new business models in the broader digital ecosystem. To summarize what this means: all businesses are facing pressure to become digital. This pressure requires changes in strategy, business model, operating model, organization, and technology. To account for these changes, all businesses must be able to leverage their existing IT and software investments to modernize them for the digital era. Simultaneously, businesses need to adopt modern platform- and API-based approaches, that are capable of unlocking access to data, deriving insights, providing flexible interaction schemes, engaging their ecosystems and developing “apps” to create unique value propositions.
