The important question about digital transformation is not "if" you do it, but "how" you do it. Start where you can see the most value and then build on your success.

Keyur's Transformation journey

He is a leading proponent of digital transformation innovation in such organizations. His teams support operations in more than 25 countries on five continents.

LESSONS LEARNED

As you move from the data center to the cloud and secure the connections to cloud-based assets, applications, and services, you must keep the user experience in mind—if you don't, then digitally transforming your enterprise will be very difficult.
