Jump Start your Digital Transformation with METTV

Digital transformation is a foundational change in how an organization delivers value to its customers. It is the implementation of new technologies, talent, and processes to improve business operations and satisfy customers.

Digital Transformation Defined

Digital transformation marks a rethinking of how an organization uses technology, people, and processes in pursuit of new business models and new revenue streams. It is driven by changes in customer expectations around products and services. Digital transformation requires cross-departmental collaboration in pairing business-focused philosophies with rapid application development models.

Digital Transformation Steps

Here are five steps companies can follow to affect the kind of change they need:

  1. Align objectives with business goals. Answer the question: What business outcomes do you want to achieve for customers?
  2. IT and business must co-create. IT must work as a co-creator with the business to solve problems and deliver value for customers.
  3. Pick strategic partners. IT leaders need help fulfilling digital imperatives to reduce time to business value. Bet on the ones with proven track records whose values most closely align with yours.
  4. Redesign business and products around customer outcomes. This could include using cloud software to accelerate change and embracing artificial intelligence to boost operational efficiency.
  5. Retrain employees around digital. Ensure that your employees are skilled in cloud, DevOps, CI/CD, and other modern technologies and practices to fortify them for the future.

Digital Transformation (DX) Challenges

  • Strategy - more than one-third of executives cite the lack of a clear DX strategy as a key barrier to achieving full potential. Developing a DX strategy aligned with business goals and built to enable measurable value is essential to success and program longevity.
  • Data alignment - three-out-of-four executives say improving the ability to leverage data across the enterprise would be effective at addressing disruption. Gathering, organizing, and democratizing your data unlocks greater potential for DX outcomes.
  • Speed and scale - manufacturers on average start with eight digital transformation projects, with 75% of these failing to scale. To overcome this pilot purgatory, combine a value-led DX strategy with strategic partners and out-of-the-box solutions.
