- How will digital transformation affect my industry and business?

There are a number of things that don’t have to do with technical innovations that are going to make the process more complicated. That’s not to say that creating the proper infrastructure to accommodate the rapid pace of development is not going to be a major issue in and of itself. But a number of key factors in implementing digital solutions are related to people. And while is relatively easy to change and adapt to new technology, people are not. Many global companies start to realize their business will be mostly digital within the coming years, but not many are really interested in dealing with the digital transformation.
