FINAL WORD
Achieving
successful Digital
Transformation in
three easy steps
Digital Transformation is evolving at a
rapid pace and it is intriguing to hear
about the potential trends that could
develop in this new year. Gijsbert Janssen
van Doorn, Tech Evangelist at Zerto,
discusses the importance of offering
an always-on customer experience,
seamless workload mobility and the
advantages of a multi-cloud strategy.
D
igital Transformation may be one of the most popular
buzzwords at present but when it comes down to it, it can
actually be quite a daunting task for an organisation to
address. Yes, the ultimate goal is to improve how the business works
in every aspect, but this doesn’t happen overnight and requires
a great deal of patience and planning to execute. A company’s
technological foundation is the driver of much of this transformation
but at the same time, IT is under constant scrutiny to deliver ROI
while continuing to modernise.
But if an organisation’s IT infrastructure is working perfectly fine
and employees and customers are getting exactly what they
need, why would the organisation choose to evolve it? To put it
simply, good enough isn’t actually good enough anymore. To take
advantage of the more business opportunities in the competitive
landscape, companies need to be more efficient, nimble and data-
driven. Modern technology upgrades are also a way of driving costs
down, helping companies to scale and providing better insights
into resource usage. It’s something all organisations should be
considering, but ultimately, requires a measurable amount of
planning and preparation.
