Acora Trusted Digital Framework

Creating a robust and future proof IT platform for our clients.

Technology is fundamentally changing how businesses operate and the way in which individuals work. In fact, business and technology are becoming so interwoven, it’s hard to consider one without the other.

The pace of change and the functionality available from modern technology has led to industry analysts coining this movement as the ‘digital economy era’. Just look at Airbnb, Uber, Netflix and Monzo. These companies are using technology to disrupt their market, reaping the benefits of a digital focus that’s put them ahead of their competitors.

Because of the market pressures and the potential benefits available, most companies consider digital transformation investment as value for money, however many find themselves struggling to make time for it. On average, 80% of the IT departments time and budget is spent on operational IT, leaving only 20% for strategic projects. This has led to companies choosing to work with IT service providers, like Acora, to help them transform.

What do we mean by digital transformation?

Technology has become the accelerant of modern businesses, but the capability cannot be harnessed without the right people implementing the right plan.

Digital transformation is a broad term that references the changes and plans required to compete and win in the digital economy era. We define it as the profound transformation of business and organisational activities, processes, competencies and models to fully leverage the blend of a mix of digital technologies with present and future strategies in mind.

It delivers real benefits to mid-market companies, such as:

• Increased revenue
• Reduced risk
• Reduced cost
