Why is a digital core critical? Increasing complexity is the greatest barrier to achieving digital transformation and unlocking the value of today's digital economy. When we looked into what's happening within our client's businesses and analyzed the challenges that they are facing, we found that businesses need a digital core to understand all the information that is moving in and out of their company. We also found that roughly less than 1% of data that exists in organizations is analyzed and turned into business benefits. Something that should be contributing to creating insights and opportunities is disorganized and widening the gap between providing user value and surviving in the digital economy.
