What Does Digital Transformation Mean for IT?

Digitalisation is a process that affects the whole company. It is also a chance for your IT department to improve its own structures to be the driver of that change. By preparing the organisation for new technologies that pay into the overall business goals, you as IT manager or CIO can step into the role of a transformation leader and support all other business areas on the journey to Digital Transformation. Yet you are not alone: We from NTT DATA Business Solutions are your partner to grow with and offer you best-in-class IT solutions to optimise your department in the best and most diverse way.

Turn Your Personal Challenges into Opportunities

On the way to digital transformation, you probably face some personal challenges regarding your role as innovation leader. If you look at them more as opportunities, you will realize the potential value that lies in overcoming the objectives.

  • Strategic Mindset: By asking how technology can solve customer problems, you want to change from a tech centric to a rather customer centric view. That means taking on strategic responsibility and adjusting IT strategy to business goals. The value is to have a consistent alignment of business and IT area and gain visibility as well as acceptance as strategic driver and business enabler.
  • Agility: The ability to deal with change is key when you have to answer the need for constant development – both in technologies and skills. By adapting to the ongoing change processes, you can shape your competence in agility and competitiveness.
  • Communication Skills: For transformation affects all business areas, IT innovations have to be promoted in-house. That means you need to collaborate closely with departments and stakeholders and speak their language. If you succeed in presenting topics through a non-tech lens, you create common understanding and gain acceptance.
  • Role Definition: You want to define your role concerning expanding responsibilities? Gaining clarity about expectations and responsibilities results in self-confident IT leadership and a clear communication about task distribution.

These are just some examples for obstacles – or should we call them opportunities – that may come your way. Whatever the challenge, we are there to help and enable you to take on your role as driver for Digital Transformation in your company.

Digital Transformation Put into Practice

Imagine a company in the logistics and transport industry that has to manage its fleet efficiently or else it runs the risk of losing money on “empty trips” and unsatisfied customers. The solution: An app implementing smart planning algorithms and visualisation dashboards that can handle order requests and bookings from all stakeholders’ point of view. By utilising blockchain technology, a sharing of data, which was previously unthinkable, is enabled and trust among the many involved parties ensured. With transparency on the trucks’ schedules, customers can make an order for the empty loads on short notice and haulers can handle more orders with the same resources. Furthermore, there is less unnecessary environment damage which was impacted before by empty runs. In this example, the company achieves digital transformation by implementing innovative technologies like blockchain and smart planning tools to optimise truck load in a network of recycling, transport, and construction companies.
