But the digital revolution is different in kind from all past business upheavals. Instead of adopting a single new business practice or making a one-time change, businesses now must undergo a complete upheaval of their structure in order to keep pace with a continual and quickening stream of new technologies. This means learning how to adapt and build a forward-thinking IT approach into the very DNA of the organization. In other words, businesses require a digital transformation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew digital technologies—from cloud computing to the blockchain—help customers connect to businesses, enable product innovation, and unlock efficiencies in every area of business operations. \u003ci\u003eDigital Transformation: Building Intelligent Enterprises\u003c\/i\u003e is a business leader's guide to all of the key tech tools available today.
