The central challenge here is how focused these investments are on building helpful ecosystems and partnerships as smartly as possible.
Evaluating data along the value chain
In addition to the status quo of digital transformation, our CIO / CTO survey took a close look at the current challenges and opportunities in exploiting the potential of data. Because data can provide important insights and findings to drive the digital growth of companies.
Digitisation generates data - through everyday business processes, contacts with suppliers, partners, customers or IoT. Companies have plenty of data that creates great potential for digital growth strategies.
Evaluating and analysing this data with the help of technology is crucial. It requires an adequate data management organisation, an optimal organisational structure, and corresponding data expertise in the teams.
