The pandemic has accelerated digital transformation, and businesses are embracing emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the customer experience and stay closer to their customers. The technological shift and trends have propelled digital transformation and engineering of the next-generation applications to fuel growth, optimize costs and stay relevant and competitive.
Enterprises face challenges in identifying the appropriate partners who can help them end-to-end in their transformation journey to innovate and develop new business models.
The challenges include:
- The absence of a one-size-fits-all solution for moving monolithic systems to microservices-based and(remove and) resilient systems
- User experience is often looked at as a second step in digital transformation projects
- Customers unwilling to bet on new technologies
