Stop Playing Hide & Seek With Your Digital Transformation

Biography
Digital transformation can be a daunting task for many businesses. However, avoiding or delaying digital transformation can lead to a loss of competitiveness and missed opportunities. According to research from the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), 79 percent of surveyed organizations believe their IT environments are as complex or more complex than they were two years ago, and 73 percent say the number of tools they use for observing network performance and application behavior add to that complexity. With more than 90 percent embracing a multi-cloud strategy that makes use of two or more cloud infrastructure providers, the problem is particularly acute for those organizations that must coordinate on-premises and cloud infrastructure as well as multiple tools from multiple vendors that don’t share a common interface or workflow. This opens organizations up to risks of poor performance or cyberattacks. By following these strategies, you can stop playing hide and seek with your digital transformation and achieve your goals more efficiently and effectively.
