Senior IT leaders, motivated by both the changing nature of our economy and more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic, have decisively shifted their focus toward applications. The industry catchphrase for this shift, “digital transformation,” makes clear its dual nature: directed toward the digital future, while at the same time acknowledging that the existing environment must be modernized—in other words, transformed.
In fact, according to a January 2021 VMware survey of C-suite-level tech execs, 90 percent said they were migrating and modernizing legacy applications with the goal of driving start-up level innovation.
And that goal appears to be well worth it. Dell Technologies, Intel and VMware partnered with analyst firm ESG in
March 2021 to survey 2,000 IT leaders from around the globe. Organizations were divided into Technology
Reactors, Technology Evaluators and Technology Accelerators, based on their digital transformation maturity.
The results were clear: The companies who prioritized and successfully implemented digital transformation had a number of concrete advantages over their counterparts.
