Automation and hyperautomation technologies have been a go-to strategy for leaders to improve speed for years now. However, with customer experience becoming critical, you have to find ways to deliver an extraordinary experience quickly. Moreover, the industry trend for 2022 shows that the speed of digital transformation (DX) expected by executives is not slowing down but is likely to increase. As a result, enterprises plan to spend more and expect faster implementation from their digital initiatives. Interestingly, a significant part of the “digital” spending is now happening outside of the IT function.
“Respond, Rethink, Re-Invent”
In early 2020, organizations were caught unaware and had to respond to the lockdown/WFH situations overnight. Organizations took a short-term (band-aid) approach with many point solutions that only created issues with governance, maintenance, and scalability. Using different systems, many departments have implemented the same functionality (login, reports, dashboards, integrations). Despite the methodology and all this orchestration, the band-aid approach has bought us some time. Since this continuous transformation is here to stay, it is time for enterprises to “Rethink and Re-Invent.”
To overcome the pitfalls of the short-term approach to DX, Gartner and Forrester have suggested an orchestrated transformation approach by identifying capabilities required in a toolbox/platform to support successful enterprise-wide digital transformation in the long run. Gartner calls it “The DigitalOps Technology Toolbox,” while Forrester names it “Digital Process Automation Software,” both with identified automation technologies that include:
- Ability to handle and optimize the most profound, most sophisticated use cases
- Scaling out to address the unique requirements of wide deployments
- Using low-code capabilities
The identified technological capabilities are:
