Albeit a buzzword in business- with
its all encompassing nature, the concept of digital transformation is one that
is not wholly understood – proving to be both a great opportunity as well as a
major challenge for businesses. In order to adapt and innovate in the ever
changing technology landscape it is imperative that organisations adopt digital
initiatives that are positioned in line with their company culture and customer
needs.

 

The 2^ndDigital Transformation
Congress is one of the most comprehensive technology
events of 2019, where hundreds of senior executives will meet to advance their
knowledge of the latest business technologies and digital innovations such as AI, IoT, Blockchain, IT security, 5G and robotics, and how they
impact business operations. The congress will also outline ways
that businesses can use technology to gain the edge over competitors.
