Digital transformation sweet spot: Business operationsMarcel Santilli

Your enterprise can digitally transform by gaining insights from your data to improve the experience for your customers.
Enterprises need to make over all aspects of their business, because today’s customers expect frictionless experiences — and because new competitors launched with the latest technologies can change and respond to customers faster than mature companies.
Start with the fact that your enterprise has valuable assets that start-ups don’t — your customers. Fostering loyalty among these customers requires improving their interaction with not only your products and services, but also sales, billing, support and shipping operations. Successful companies count on digital technologies to transform the total customer experience. As consumers, we’ve come to expect digitally enabled products as the new normal. But what’s the next step for your enterprise? Find ways to translate into their business lives what people love and expect as consumers.
Enterprises can learn from the digital leaders who look for ways that apps and data can be added to products to create new value over time. Digital leaders use what they learn from the data to reshape core operations to drive the enterprise forward. What’s considered a core operation varies from industry to industry, but the common characteristic is that core operations make up a sizable portion of the enterprise budget. Gaining even a modest amount of efficiency through digital transformation can significantly impact the bottom line. Data also can be used to predict mechanical failure and to schedule preventive maintenance to avoid business disruptions.
Digital transformation begins with data. So how can your enterprise gain insights from your data to improve the experience for your customers?

Transformation is not digital, it's constantAyal Levin
Many organizations focus on Digital Transformation as a key to success. There seems to be a belief that “Once we become fully digital, the transformation is complete”. However, the reality of today will not be the leading solution of tomorrow. This talk will focus on the reasons why it’s not about digital transformation, rather, it’s about building organizations that can support constant transformation -in culture, in working models, in strategic thinking, and in mindset.
WHAT IS DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION?
“Digital transformation is an ongoing process of changing the way we do business. It is an investment in skills, tools, technologies and IT infrastructure. Digital transformation is a cultural shift integrating people, technology and business together.”

Challenges in digital transformation and how to over come
Our world’s digital landscape is evolving faster than ever before, the only constant is change and most enterprises are struggling to adapt. In this webinar, we deep dive into Digital Transformation – the business strategy that can unlock new, better and bigger growth opportunities for your company.
Digital technology is everywhere. As a consequence, companies need fully embrace the digital transformation. To succeed, it is no longer sufficient to optimize front offices and increase customer experience by using digital. Instead, companies need a solid enterprise-wide transformation to reap the full potential of digital. We team up with clients to explore and define a digital strategy and road map to this end, thereby also creating a kick starter for change.
What is Digital transformation?
Far too often digital transformation is confused with Digitalization or with Digitization with a key focus on technologies or platform. But Digital transformation is not about technologies: it's about transforming the whole prganisation through a system thinking approach and it's about rethinking operational models, business models, processes, and policies, taking people, both employees and customers at the core of the process.
Because the goal of any digital transformation is to increase value creation for the business through digitally enhanced processes that increase internal efficiency and overall customer and employee satisfaction.
Digital transformation is en emergent need in today's post-industrial society: we moved fast from an industrial to a post-industrial era, however operational models and management practices haven't evolved fast enough.
For this reason, many organisations prefer to think of Digital transformation as the adoption of digital technologies on the top of mainly inefficient and obsolete operational models, rather than facing a true in depth transformation that begins with understanding the current culture, the customers, and the overall business.
These slides, were presented to students from IIM (india) at ESPC London on July 27th 2017 with the goal to provide tomorrow's digital leaders a broad vision of what is digital transformation by looking at what and the reasons why change is happening in the business world, define Digital transformation and its dimensions through the lenses of an Experience economy and a post-industrial era. The presentation also presents the Competing Value Framework as a key tool to start understanding organsation's culture and define a digital transformation roadmap and strategy.

Enterprises can survive digital disruption as well as grow revenue, improve profitability and increase market valuation — if they start rethinking what they do.
Digital transformation. It’s the use of technology to create a better customer experience, improve products and services, and increase the effectiveness of business operations. But it really means what your enterprise must do to adapt and thrive.
Today’s smaller, emerging companies are born digital. They can — and do — change quickly to answer consumer demand or a competitive offering. Larger, mature enterprises must start with a shift in strategy, because all industries will be changed or already have been changed by digital transformation. Many, like news media and publishers, music, video and retail have been or significantly disrupted. Up next: financial services, healthcare manufacturing, insurance, legal, education, utilities and energy. The good news? No industry has been or will be completely upended.
The first step is to recognize that disruption does not have to be a mass-extinction event. Enterprises can survive as well as grow revenue, improve profitability and increase market valuation. Here’s how to start rethinking what you do.
Understanding digital transformation involves understanding the DNA of your company, your employees, and your customers to identify the best way to deliver value and increase organisations' positive impact on revenue, employee retention, and customer experience.
This requires a change management approach and to look at 5 key pillars:
1. The Business model
2. The Operational model
3. Leadership & Capability

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Digital transformation - whitepaper
1. DIGITAL
TRANSFORMATION
Digital transformation is evolving at a rate faster than ever
before. SMAC (Social, Mobile, Analytics & Cloud) and Internet
of Things (IoT) are some of the trends that are here to stay
and revolutionize digital processes. The customer
expectations have reached unprecedented heights and
organizations strive to offer digital products and services to
stay relevant and competitive. This calls for a very innovative
approach in the development and deployment of IT to support
new applications and business models.

2. INTRODUCTION ON
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Organizations of this generation try to sell smart solutions and user experience than a mere
product or service. For this, they leverage new and advanced digital solutions that are now at
their disposal. The expected outcomes of these investments are increased process
efficiency and business capabilities. But often organizations miss out on the most profitable
business opportunities. This happens because in most cases, organizations sign up for the
trending technology/tool of the time without understanding its full potential or relevance to
their existing infrastructure.
One way to look at Digital Transformation is from the POV of a customer. Modern-age
customers are unlike anything before. They have access to resources that makes their life
easier and simpler. What is their expectation of a good product or service? For this, a good
understanding of customers and their behavioural patterns are important. Let’s analyse a
few examples of how industries are transforming.
This whitepaper explains where the world stands in terms of digital transformation and the
best solution approach to drive digital transformation to leverage maximum results.
Physical visit to banks and tedious manual work significantly dwindled as banks
introduced mobile banking to offer services to customers.
Retailers complimented their physical presence with online business offerings to
counter the likes of Amazon, Flipkart etc.
Logistics companies up their game by going digital and giving real-time data to
customers on goods in transit and end-to-end tracking.
Government introduced various digital channels to review citizen grievances and
offer quick fix to public issues such as safety, transportation etc.

3. THE RISE OF
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Digital transformation is not a new term and has been used since 30 years. It’s the context
that has changed over the years. We began the journey by creating digital channels to
connect organizations to customers. The website was one of the initial by-products of
digitization. From ordinary brochure-like websites it went on to become richer and thicker.
Slowly new processes were added to support this online interaction with customers, often
disintegrated and applied on legacy processes.
The introduction of ERP in the early 90’s
truly marked the turning point of the digital
transformation. IT was a milestone that has
paved the way for digital transformation to
reach where it is now. Many tech giants
developed huge applications with a
consistent architecture and promised data
integrity and process integration, and a
single system with customizations.
Point-to-point connections bound these
ERPs and applications together.
Over the course of time, on-premise
applications become obsolete and digital
enthusiasts started moving applications to
cloud. This further extended the digital
spectrum as there needed a connection
between on-premise and cloud applications.
As the interaction chain expanded with
more and more arena’s started to join the
digital spectrum. Organizations started to
digitize the internal processes and
interactions. Gateways and portals needed
to be built in order to facilitate customer
interactions and various external links.
As applications and processes became
connected, it generated huge amounts of
multi-level data. Organizations then added
another dimension to the digital arena in the
form of data storage and business
intelligence to make use of big data to
further increase the competency. And now,
the introduction of Internet of Things (IoT)
and mobile revolution caused the digital
spectrum to explode. Organizations are
trying to find out new approaches to overall
integration and leverage maximum benefits
from it. Some of the adopted strategies to
tackle this complex and loosely integrated
digital network implementing a
service-oriented architecture (SOA) and
Enterprise service bus (ESB). Did that solve
the issues and created a truly digital
environment? It is a different question to
answer.
“Product improvement and technology are the biggest rising
priorities for CEOs in 2017 and 42 per cent of them have
begun digital business transformation”
- Gartner

4. IS THERE A
PERFECT STRATEGY?
There is no doubt that digital business is growing
beyond imaginations. According to Gartner’s survey,
Digital transformation and business growth are top
priorities for CEOs in 2017. It is noticed that 22% of the
CEOs take the “digital to the core” stance where the
product, service and business model should change
according to the digital growth and the technologies
that support those become their core competency.
This clearly points to a direction where organizations
are 100% digitally empowered. But this change
doesn’t come without certain pain points.
One of the biggest challenges organizations face is
how to leverage their existing architecture to full
potential while creating a new digital path. No
organization can afford to start from scratch by
decimating their existing infrastructure and throwing
away the investments made so far. Many of the newly
developed technologies are little compatible with
legacy systems in terms of coding, security
compliances, standards, scalability, to name a few.
This results in rewriting some or all of the applications
which adds up to the total work and ends up in silos.
In the end, CIOs are handed with a complex challenge:
How to be digitally innovative and promote business
growth while optimizing the cost?
“According to
Forrester, only
27% of today’s
businesses
have a
coherent
digital
strategy that
sets out how
the firm will
create
customer
value as a
digital
business.”

6. THE BIG
SOLUTION
Monolithic architecture no longer serves the modern-day applications that are flexible, fast
and agile and needs a strong and dynamic operating environment. To cater to the needs of
today’s digitally competitive environments and operations, businesses need a strong
architecture that is inclusive of all the latest technological advancements.
Some of the fundamental features that can considerably boost the digital competency are:
Robust Architecture that can simultaneously process millions of requests from
IoT and mobile devices, handle application processes, identify patterns across
the data generated and combine them to form meaningful outputs.
Scalable Integration layer that provides integration across every system while
enabling APIs and gateways for internal processes and external stakeholders to
build a digital ecosystem to interact digitally.
Digital transformation revolves around two important aspects – Centralization
and Integration. Managing data and applications in an administered centralized
platform significantly boosts the operational efficiency and security.
Container – based application platform that can be packaged and scaled. This
ensures a future-proof environment against large scale changes.
Analytics and Business Intelligence to analyze, track, and monitor the
performance of set KPIs and understanding complex business processes.
“22% of the CEOs are taking a “digital to the core”
stance where the product, service, and business
model change with new digital capabilities and
the technology that supports those becomes a
core competency”

7. THE
CHECK-LIST
Apparently every organization is different and so are
their digital needs. Traditional companies are setting
for a major change when compared to companies that
grew up digital. Start-ups and SMEs may face budget
constraints when compared to giants but will have a
less complex transition strategy. However, when you
set on the journey to digital transformation, the
following parameters will help to deal with a major
percentage of your transition. Of course, these are not
“the” solution – there can be more or less. In the end
companies need to chart their own check-list.
Although from the past successful or failed journeys
of digital transformation, few aspects are worthy to
consider.
“57% CEOs
plan to build
in-house
technology
and digital
capabilities,
compared to
29% who plan
to outsource
it”
– Gartner
Process-centric and scalable applications
Changing all the apps that are in use can be
complex, time-consuming and expensive. By
adopting a Service-oriented-architecture (SOA) and
using APIs and gateways, you can minimize
changing individual applications but also reap
benefits such as eliminate data duplication, reduce
manual processes and increase operational
efficiency.
All these apps are powered with high-performance
in-memory data storage and are integrated to offer
maximum performance, speed and scalability. It
also eliminates data duplication and offers
meaningful insights that are crucial to business
growth.
Master Data Management
Data warehousing is an integral part of being a
digitally enabled organization. However, many still
don’t understand what a data warehouse actually
is. One of the common pictures is that of a common
repository to collect and store data from all the
Copyright 2017. www.saksoft.com
8. Analytics and visualization
Everybody these days talk about analytics and how
important it is for an organization. Rarely do people
talk about the significance of presenting the data.
Analytics play a crucial role in measuring an
organization’s success in terms of scalability,
achieving KPIs, and making crucial business
decisions. But often, what matters is how we
present the data to users in the simplest forms in
order for them to make optimum use of it. That’s
where different data visualization tools are highly
beneficial. It categorizes the mass amount of
analysed data into various graphical forms such as
graphs, real-time dashboards, etc.
business applications. But that is pretty old school
now and it has evolved beyond this definition. We have
a storage space – it might be physical or logical. But
does it covers things like ETL (Extract-Transfer-Load),
different data models, advanced servers and
algorithms? Probably not!
Renowned industry analyst Wayne Eckerson has
defined data warehouse in more abstract term
“A data warehouse is not a technology or tool. It is
primarily a business process that unites an
organization in electronic form (i.e., through data) so it
can function as a single entity, not a conglomeration
of loosely coupled fiefdom”
It is important for organizations to see data
warehousing as an integral part of their digital
transformation than a mere storage medium. It can be
classified as the foundation of digital transformation
as areas such as business intelligence, analytics,
data-driven decision making etc. are heavily
dependent on a good data warehousing solution.
“58% CEOs
say, growth is
their No.1
business
priority in
2017, while
product
improvement
and
technology
are also in
priority”
– Gartner

9. “By 2018, 67%
of the CEOs of
Global 2000
enterprises will
have digital
transformation
at the center
of their
corporate
strategy.”
- Gartner
Comprehensive Testing
You have a strong data warehouse, scalable
applications that are highly compatible and well
integrated, a robust business intelligence solution
and analytics to support your big data. But what if
the system is vulnerable to threats – both internal
and external? What if your applications are not
optimized to leverage the full potential? What if you
are having frequent shut downs that are adversely
affecting the business efficiency?
Testing is a crucial aspect of digital transformation
that unfortunately a lot of companies take for
granted. Whether it is to reduce time-to-market,
production cost, or simply to avoid the additional
effort, organizations tend to overlook the
importance of testing.
Testing ensures that the architecture and individual
applications are highly resistant to any vulnerability.
It helps to maintain security, minimum downtime
and synchronization of the architecture. This is
especially vital in case of banking and financial
sector, government and other public sector, military,
healthcare etc. that deals with data that are highly
confidential and vulnerable to threats. An
end-to-end testing also provides longevity to
applications, increase performance and minimize
maintenance requirements.

10. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
TAKE THE “BIG LEAP” OF
Whether or not organizations are ready, digital transformation is inevitable and essential for
today’s business. A forrester study found out that the key drivers of digital transformation
are profitability, customer satisfaction and increased speed-to-market; all of them are the
essentials of a business. Industries such as banking, e-commerce, retail, logistics and supply
chain etc. has made great progress while laggards such as manufacturing, consumer goods,
traditional pharmaceuticals are at a high risk. Business to Customers (B2C) are feeling the
heat more than Business to Business (B2B) as they are directly dealing with end users who
are equipped with high-end smart phones, advanced applications and high expectations like
never before. Having said all these, the good thing about digital transformation is, it is never
too late to start. With the help of a good digital transformation partner, organizations can
embrace the digital journey and obtain competitive advantage in the long run.
“By 2018, 35% of IT resources will be spent to support the
creation of new digital revenue streams and by 2020
almost 50% of IT budgets will be tied to digital
transformation initiatives.” - IDC
