The exponential effect of technological advancement in fields such as Artificial Intelligence, IoT, quantum computing, blockchain and the move to the cloud, coupled with advances in human and scientific understanding, are serving up entirely new ways to meet the varied challenges of sustainability, disruption and commercial competition.
Digital Transformation is a means to evolve your enterprise and make it more resilient, relevant and resonant with all your stakeholders. It is a paradigm shift – where experience and a willingness to experiment matter in equal measure – and where mindset, coupled with new technologies meet new business models.
In short Digital Transformation is about applying a new model to creating inclusive and sustainable business outcomes. Central to achieving digital business outcomes is the concept of a digital business platform– something that is far more than a stack of technology reflected in a reference architecture. Platform Thinking encompasses a business model for solving a business problem by leveraging the creative talents of an ecosystem of partners, to collaborate with your people and organisation.
Platforms enable simple tasks to be performed and process efficiencies to be gained at one end of the spectrum, and at the other end to create entirely new ways of delivering value, by leveraging digital assets such as information, sensors and Artificial Intelligence.
Achieving transformation starts by connecting your core requirements with the outcome you are looking for. Achieving that outcome then requires the application of an iterative process that’s attuned to your ambition. Recognising this, having a pragmatic framework that enables, and most importantly, helps align stakeholders is key to achieving a fit-for-purpose outcome.
Give maintenance teams the ability to track asset conditions and anomalies more efficiently, using remote monitoring. AI and IoT helps them see, predict and prevent issues across legacy systems and data-driven operations.
Remotely monitor critical assets and operations with AI-powered monitoring at enterprise scale. Aggregate operating state and IT data with process parameters across repositories to provide enterprise-wide visibility into performance and receive fewer, more accurate alerts and greater insights.

Squeezing the most of what you already have very often makes better business sense than a "fork-lift upgrade".
Modernisation allows you to take what you already have as a sunk investment and leverage it. Applying a platform-thinking approach combined with a partner ecosystem of inter-disciplinary abilities means the business process improvement that you are seeking becomes the driver rather than technology as the driver.
This approach creates business outcomes that are aligned with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals, as well as simple commercial goals.
Incremental gains from the optimisation of processes, systems and ways of working, can often-time serve up competitive advantage.
Address more complex, cross-functional and interdisciplinary requirements to evolve your operational environment into an intelligent system, through the use of industry templates, capabilities and experience.
This shortens the time to deliver, generates better returns and creates better well-being by leveraging the power of platform thinking and an ecosystem approach to deliver increased business maturity.
Over the long term sustainable innovation is key to transformation. The challenge is that it is a journey of many experiments - most of which fail. Using a platform business model, interdisciplinary partner ecosystem, underpinned by a Continuous Improvement approach enables your enterprise to experiment with lower risk, and focus on what will have the greatest impact.
With an ecosystem of digital business consulting services, key expertise and fundamental methods - your enterprise can tap into digital transformation designed specifically to service Enterprise Operations.
This holistic approach enables your enterprise to embrace the right set of methods based on the organisation's appetite for innovation. The most cited reason for failure in digital transformation is failure to get stakeholder alignment and cultural inertia. Addressing these challenges at the beginning is key to embracing new business models and strategic DX initiatives.
