Some elements have been transformed for being useful
Digital transformation refers to the changes associated with the application of digital technology in all aspects of human society.[1] Digital transformation may be thought as the third stage of embracing digital technologies: digital competencedigital literacy → digital transformation. The latter stage means that digital usages inherently enable new types of innovation and creativity in a particular domain, rather than simply enhance and support the traditional methods.[2]
In a narrower sense, "digital transformation" may refer to the concept of "going paperless".
Digital transformation affects both individual businesses[3] and whole segments of the society, such as government,[4] mass communications,[5] art,[6] medicine.[7] or science [8]
In November 2011, a three-year study conducted by the MIT Center for Digital Business and Capgemini Consulting concluded that only one-third of companies globally have an effective digital transformation program in place.[9]
The study defined an "effective digital transformation program" as one that addressed
  • "The What": the intensity of digital initiatives within a corporation
  • "The How": the ability of a company to master transformational change to deliver business results.[9]

Market[edit]

According to new market research report, published by MarketsandMarkets, the global digital transformation market is expected to grow from $150.70 Billion to $369.22 Billion, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 19.6%.
