DIGITAL DISRUPTION
EVERYTHINGDIGITAL
Emerging digital technologies have seen a
change in consumer needs and resulting
business models.
Value propositions of existing goods and
services have changed competition, leading to
new markets and the importance of the power
of information to provide new solutions.
Technical innovation is happening faster than
ever leading to bigger sizes, power,
accessibility and connectivity.
The biggest takeaway from this is that data
is the newest asset class, and the best way
to generate and access it is by digitizing
everything from the consumer end to internal
business processes.
