What does digital transformation actually mean?

Digital transformation is a term that’s being used quite a lot.

There’s not a lot of information out there about what it actually means.Ultimately, it’s a broad term that references the changes required to compete and win in the digital economy era. At Acora, we define digital transformation 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”

Ok, so what?

Digital transformation is about closing the gap between what you have in place and what you need to ensure you’re bullet proof and digital economy ready.

The digital gap is obviously dependent on what IT you already have, and what IT you need in order to get where you want to be… but closing that gap and digitally transforming isn’t something that happens overnight.

You’ll need to understand your business goals and strategies and the role IT plays in that, review what technology you have in place, understand what you need and plan how you can close your digital gap.

Engaging an IT support partner like Acora can help.

We help our clients review what they have now vs where they want to be, and we reckon we can help them get there in half the time vs. doing it alone.
