neXt Curve was joined by IBM in a discussion about Digital Reinvention and what Electronics industry companies need to do to go beyond digital transformation and realize competitive differentiation and industry innovation that will shape not only the future of the Electronics industry but also the other industries that they digitize. We also discuss how businesses need to balance "data by design" with "privacy first" in an emerging world of privacy-centricity as they innovate their business models and create new ones.

IBM Institute of Business Value
The global electronics industry is the
cornerstone of the digital economy and
the Internet of Things (IoT). Electronic
devices act as conduits for users’ digital
experiences, which are now seamlessly
enabled and updated in the cloud. The
industry’s digital device success has also
introduced its latest challenge: going
beyond the device. Leveraging data to
drive insights is key to delivering greater
value. Doing so requires electronics firms
to flawlessly integrate hardware, software,
services and data while learning from and
adapting to users. Through Digital
ReinventionTM, they can combine digital
approaches and data by design to drive
new capabilities, changing business from
the ground up.
