We have all witnessed the impact of digital transformation and the enormous changes brought about by technology in the business landscape over the last few years. While helping many of our clients build their digital strategies, we encountered many business challenges viz. working on disparate systems that didn’t talk to each other, loss of productivity, errors in manual processes, cost efficiency and more.
