We all know that the digital revolution is no longer a question of “if” or “when” but rather a matter of “how.” The information technologies teams are undoubtedly at the forefront of this change and embracing the digital revolution to evolve their business missions and roadmaps. A major trend that digital transformation is extending into is IoT, a game-changer that strengthens the connection between the physical and digital worlds to make living and working smarter. This shift to a more intelligent way of work and life requires enterprises to aggressively embrace digital transformation more than ever. From a business perspective, CIOs and business leaders are creating new revenue streams and aiming to meet changing customer demands. Transformation cornerstones such as cloud, mobile and analytic technologies must be integrated with existing IT operations which are proving to be a major challenge to enterprises. They also need to figure out cultural challenges by adjusting internal processes, embracing team training and optimizing organizational structures.
