DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IS
ACCELERATING AND GROWING
Today, organizations like yours are increasingly evolving their edge-to-hybrid-cloud
IT environments in support of new business strategies. Companies want to unlock
the agility, operational efficiency, and innovation potential presented by digital
transformation (DX).
But what is digital transformation? In short, it is the integration of digital technology
into all areas of a business, fundamentally changing how businesses operate and
deliver value to their customers. In a digitally transformed business, applications and
data live everywhere—and speed is enabled everywhere—fueling innovation, product
development, and quality.
IDC estimates the economic value of DX will represent almost $19 trillion—an amount
equivalent to 20% of the global GDP.
