Technology and end-user industries are abuzz with talk of digitally transformative technologies including the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), data sharing, distributed ledger, 5G connectivity and more. But, as ever with new technologies, it is only when end-users deploy solutions that leverage these technologies that digitally transformed industries will materialise. So, what will be the real-world impact of new emerging technologies?
Transforma Insights has undertaken an extensive programme of work to profile the major domains of change that are enabled by digitally transformative technologies across a range of sectors. The sectors and identified domains of digitally transformative change are highlighted below.
As ever, digital transformation is not ‘all about the technology’. The domains of change that feature as part of our sector-focussed analysis all combine new technologies in different ways and seek to achieve different goals. All of the identified domains of change exist by virtue of the fact that they address constraints associated with current-day approaches, or capitalise on opportunities to deliver better outcomes, typically for less cost and with enhanced sustainability footprints.
