Abstract

This IDC Market Perspective discusses a clear need for the identification and implementation of new approaches and technology to improve business processes. Current economic conditions and future uncertainty, however, have made the task even more challenging. The document advocates a practical approach to maximize the use of both non-IT internal and external resources.

"Digital transformation decisions have a direct impact on a company's long-term profitability, competitive posture, and ability to respond to market dynamics. Tough decisions must be made regarding investments and areas of focus. Therefore, IT leaders must make critical trade-offs and maximize internal resources while leveraging selective partnerships," says Chris Webber, director, Strategic Alliances research at IDC.
