According to IDC Group Vice President and Regional Managing Director for the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa Jyoti Lalchandani, the enablement of a future enterprise must be the end goal for any business looking to rapidly adapt and respond to any further business disruptions that lie in wait. IDC’s vision of the future enterprise, he said, is an organisation that leverages technology to underpin every single process, fueled by innovation, platform enabled, and ecosystem centric.
We believe that the journey to becoming a future enterprise requires the C-suite to build new, reprioritised agendas across nine key areas: customers, intelligence, digital innovation, operations, work, connectedness, digital infrastructure, trust, and ecosystems.
