What is Digital Transformation?

It is a sensible integration of digital technologies, processes and competencies into all areas of a business, leading to disruptive changes in how businesses operate until they deliver value to customers. However, there are differences from one industry to another.

Some of the common elements that are majorly focused on are:

• Customer experience
• Operational agility
• Culture and leadership
• Workforce enablement
• Digital technology integration

Australia has more than 22 million internet users, and with more people now online, it brings opportunities for higher innovation and large investment in new technology. Some industries are trendsetting as they embrace innovation in technology, including:
 

Mobile App Development

There are more than 13,000 apps from Australian publishers on Google Play. 78% of released apps by Australian publishers are apps and 22% are games. [Source]. With an increase in demand, many tech companies are investing in mobile app development to classify themselves as digital-first when compared to other industries.

Cloud computing, flexible consumption, and cognitive computing are driving more opportunities for tech companies to succeed with digital transformation.

Healthcare

The Healthcare industry has been a little slow to adapt to digital transformation. It is quite challenging to decide which emerging technologies are worth investing in and to trust that the disruption can bring big results.

However, the healthcare industry is currently experiencing a significant shift in implementing new technologies with a positive impact.

Telehealth, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled medical devices, and blockchain electronic health records are just a few concrete examples of digital transformation in healthcare, which are completely reshaping the interaction with health professionals, how data is shared among providers and how decisions are made about the treatment plans and health outcomes.

Digital transformation is influencing many industries to adopt the latest technology as it brings a positive impact on the core concept and practices - making it possible to rise above the intense competition in the consumer market.
