About this title

From the Inside Flap

Businesses that hope to survive and grow must join the digital revolution. But the digital revolution is different in kind from all past business upheavals. Instead of adopting a single new business practice or making a one-time change, businesses now must undergo a complete upheaval of their structure in order to keep pace with a continual and quickening stream of new technologies. This means learning how to adapt and build a forward-thinking IT approach into the very DNA of the organization. In other words, businesses require a digital transformation.

New digital technologies—from cloud computing to the blockchain—help customers connect to businesses, enable product innovation, and unlock efficiencies in every area of business operations. Digital Transformation: Building Intelligent Enterprises is a business leader's guide to all of the key tech tools available today. Not every firm needs to implement every technology out there. This book is excellent for managers and executives with an interest in identifying the technologies that will be most effective and valuable for their unique situations. With theoretical background and implementation guidelines on everything from artificial intelligence to 3D printing, readers can make their enterprises more flexible, more competitive, and more strategic in a tech-ready world.

The benefits of new IT extend to every corner of an enterprise. Increased efficiency, innovation, revenue growth, and agility are at stake. However, it can be difficult for business managers and C-suite executives, whose expertise lies in realms outside technology, to understand the implementation steps needed to leverage IT tools and capture their potential value. Readers of Digital Transformation will overcome this hurdle as they learn how and why to integrate DevOps, agile business processes, and digital infrastructure. For leaders who are unsure where to begin in revolutionizing their enterprises, and for those who need a roadmap to the technological future, this book is an excellent starting point.
