Q&A: CompuCom CTO On Why Progess Is Slow With Digital Transformations

Does business need to rush into digital transformations right now?

Some analysts have looked at some of the top 30 performing companies in the country and something like 14 to 17 of those have already accomplished significant digital transformations. And then the analysts began to look at the profitability of those companies, and the profitability of those companies is increasing. So, the question, "Do they need to rush?" depends on what their business objective is. If their business objective is to modernize and to grow, together with the changing demographics of [the] customer base, then the answer is clearly yes.

The majority of companies need to be paying attention big time to digital transformation. If not, they will be displaced by born-in-the-cloud competitors.
