Digital Transformation

The digital transformation refers to an ongoing change process grounded in digital technologies. In the narrow sense, digital transformation frequently refers to the change process triggered by digital technologies and customer expectations based on these within a company. The basis of the digital transformation are a digital infrastructure and digital technologies that are developed in ever-faster sequence and thus smooth the path for other new technologies. The essential drivers of the digital transformation are digital infrastructures and applications, as well as the utilization potential based on the digital technologies, for example, digital business models. With its more than 1,100 consultants, valantic specializes in the digital transformation of companies and uses digital technologies to help them achieve greater efficiency and growth.
