Digital Transformation in Practice : Learning from IIC Deployments
Recognizing that testbeds and test drives are not in themselves digital transformation initiatives , we developed a methodology based on the “ Digital Transformation in Industry White Paper ” 2 to extract learnings for typical digital transformation goals and objectives . The aspects of digital transformation initiatives include business goals and key factors influencing the digital transformation journey and underpinning technology that enables achieving transformation .
Each team describes their deployment according to how they address these business goals :
• IT / OT integration and convergence ,
• Operational impact ,
• Customer experience impact and
• Business model impact .
Each team describes how the deployment addresses the three key factors of an organization ’ s digital transformation journey :
• Business ,
• Technology and
• Trustworthiness .
Each team describes the digital transformation technology that underpins the deployment :
• Data center / edge ,
• Hyper-connectivity ,
• Data security ,
• AI & analytics ,
• Digital twin ,
• Distributed ledger ,
• Human-machine interface ,
• Data sharing ,
• IIoT ,
• Autonomous robot systems ,
• Innovation at the IT / OT boundary and
• Micropower generation for IIoT end devices – energy harvesting
Refer to the “ Digital Transformation in Industry ” white paper for a thorough description of the business goals , key factors and underpinning technology .
