For many organizations, digital transformation (DX) is the most strategically important initiative for the organization and may determine its ability to compete in the coming decade. IDC estimates that 60% of organizations will have created and begun implementation of a digital transformation strategy by 2020. These DX initiatives are designed to take the organization forward as a proactive, data-driven company that uses and monetizes data to gain competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Today, IT leaders address the PC lifecycle across a continuum from control to transformation. Control is geared to optimization, while transformation focuses on the business impact of technology. Though the two approaches differ, they are not in opposition. They strive for the same goals and face similar challenges.

Read this Dell whitepaper to learn more about the findings of a recent Forrester Consulting study, “Digital Transformers Innovate, Digital Controllers Optimize”. This paper will help clarify the PC lifecycle continuum, from the basics of control to the advanced levels of transformation, so you will be better equipped to determine the needs of your organization on that spectrum.

There’s plenty of room in the digital economy for traditional retailers, as long as they shift focus from the products they offer to the experiences they provide, blending the physical and digital worlds to offer distinct and personalized shopping experiences and unleashing the untapped power of emerging new ecosystems. At the heart of retail’s ongoing transformation is a shift in focus from the point of sale to the point of experience. Retailers that will thrive and prosper in the digital economy will be those that think beyond the products they sell to providing hyper-personalized shopping experiences that surprise and delight the consumer at each interaction, regardless of channel or touchpoint. This white paper illuminates these strategic imperatives and delivers actionable recommendations to established retailers seeking to convert challenge into opportunity amid growing concern that they should merely concede victory to digitally-native companies.

A framework for business-IT collaboration Despite often massive investment, many digital transformation efforts fail. Why? One of the biggest culprits is business and IT leaders viewing digital transformation as a pure technology play—e.g. the flawed mindset that you can just plug in a new app, solution or system and let it run. KPMG’s approach to Technology Strategy and Selection (TSS) helps companies take full advantage of emerging technologies by aligning the technology strategy with the future aspirations of the business. Learn how KPMG helps business and IT leaders join together to strategically choose, implement and leverage technology to enjoy their full benefits.

This article walks through the four key phases of the leading edge framework—creating a transformation vision, blueprinting the future organization, selecting the supporting technology, and implementing the new tools.

If there’s one thing that stands out about central government, it’s the appetite for digital transformation. Whether delivering new customer-facing websites to drive better engagement with services or establishing a centre of excellence to accelerate the take-up of robotic process automation (RPA), UK government is embracing opportunities to modernise with new technologies. But despite the great strides made in the last few years, the UK is slipping backwards in E-Government development terms – down from #1 in 2016 to #4 in 2018, according to the UN E-Government Survey 2018. Some argue this is due to the government having tackled the more straightforward digitisation opportunities and because it is now facing the bigger, more complex systems that need modernising. Our research shows that there are also wider challenges, including uncertainty around the impact of Brexit, budgetary pressures and emerging technologies, coming into play. So what needs to happen to overcome our challenges
