The need for digital transformation is to "Empower employees"

The Microsoft Inspire event was attended by the VARs and partners gathered here from across the globe, including 176 from India. From asserting that cloud is foundational to enabling digital transformation to moving beyond big data and even machine learning capabilities.

While the world is getting into digitised mode, business leaders are looking at on how they can apply digital technology and build systems of intelligence to rethink on how to empower employees, engage customers, optimise operations and transform products. Microsoft is not only building IT solutions solely to support conspicuous consumption, it is also working to make a positive impact in the world.

Digital experience is distributed across and spans devices, big screens, small screens, sensors in a room. The user experience is no longer bound to a device, it travels with you and it’s multi-sense. The experience may start with touch on one device, and end with speech in another device, or ink. Multi-sense is what developers are building for. The experience itself is getting richer and distributed.”

The need for digital transformation is to “Empower employees, engage customers, optimise operations and transform products. “At Microsoft, we want to democratise this notion of digital transformation so that every business can truly harness the power of this digital era. We must also change how we go to market and better serve customers with core solution areas to enable this digital transformation.

Leaders are hungry to empower their employees, transform and shape culture in this rapidly changing work environment. We aspire to build the experiences and tools that make it possible for every professional in any business or functional role to be much more productive in getting things done.”After empowering people within an organisation, we have to take it a step further, to ensure we are transforming the processes and functions people work within it. Remember, every business process is being digitised. We want to take these systems of intelligence, these feedback loops, and connect them together, so they can provide predictive information.
