The ideals of the digital economy are quickly permeating every industry and will impact essentially every business and organization. A critical step to becoming and thriving in a digital economy is undergoing an IT Transformation.
Over the past several years, Dell EMC has been undergoing its own IT Transformation, one that customers and other organizations can look to as framework for leveraging modern technologies to dramatically improve IT efficiency, which helps to deliver superior services to employees, partners, and customers.
In order to measure where organizations are on that journey, Dell EMC recently commissioned ESG to create a research-based, data-driven maturity model in order to identify the stages of IT Transformation progress and then determine the degree to which global organizations have reached those stages. In addition, the research was designed to understand the benefits that result from increasing degrees of IT Transformation.
ESG’s maturity model is based on a global survey covering 4,000 respondents from large midmarket and enterprise organizations focusing on the current state of IT and the outcomes that IT offers the business.
In “Dell EMC: Digital Business Success through IT Transformation,” ESG outlines the demands being placed on organizations today, the benefits of Digital Transformation and how Dell EMC approached the first logical step to continuing on the path of being a digital business – continued IT Transformation – after Dell and EMC merged into one company.
The study found that IT organizations further along in their IT transformation tended to achieve higher levels of performance in the areas of agile infrastructure provisioning, on-time and on-budget project delivery, faster time to market, and enhanced IT spending efficiency. And, 82 percent of IT decision makers agreed on the need to embrace IT transformation, without which it would be almost impossible to be a competitive provider of IT services to the business.
