Your Enterprise Goes Digital, Are You
Ready For Digital Transformation?
The ability to digitally reimagine the business is determined in large part by
a clear digital strategy supported by leaders who foster a culture
able to change and invent the new. While these insights are consistent with
prior technology evolutions, what is unique to digital transformation is that
risk taking is becoming a cultural norm as more digitally advanced
companies seek new levels of competitive advantage.

Equally important, employees across all age groups want to work for
businesses that are deeply committed to digital progress. Company leaders
need to bear this in mind in order to attract and retain the best talent.

data from crash scenes
automatically using our
mobile app.”
RETAIL
“Let’s use Beacons and
data to personalize
offers to our customers
in-store.”
BANKING
“Our business model isn’t
branch services. It’s
understanding our
customers’ life events &
supporting them with the
right financial products.”
GOVERNMENT
“E-Government is more
than digital self-service.
It’s using public data to
help our constituents
participate in policy
making.”
Applications across industries:
Done right, this helps companies

reach customers in more places &
better meet their individual needs.
CONTINUOUS
The user’s preferences
and journey are kept
from interaction to
interaction.
CONTEXTUAL
Personalized, situational
experiences that know
what the customer has
been through.
DIGITAL-PHYSICAL
Digital technologies
make in-person
experiences more
personal and convenient.
SENTIMENT-AWARE
Unhappy customers get
issues resolved.
Marketing offers are
delivered with sensitivity.
Today’s Experiences must be:
“…an integrated set of technologies used to provide interaction between a user and a set of
applications, processes, content, services or other users.” 



“…has several components, including portals, mashup tools, content management, search,
rich Internet application (RIA) tools, analytics, collaboration, social and mobile tools.”

DIGITAL EXPERIENCE PLATFORM (DXP):
- an emerging category of enterprise software seeking to meet the needs of
organisations undergoing digital transformation, with the ultimate goal of
providing better customer experiences.
- DXPs can be a single product, but are often a suite of products that work
together.
- DXPs provide an architecture for companies to digitise business operations,
deliver connected customer experiences, and gather actionable
customer insight.
