A Look at 10 Real-World Digital Transformations

July 5, 2017
CIO

Locked in a foot race with rivals to lure new customers, companies are increasingly launching digital initiatives to expand or build digital capabilities aimed at making the business more efficient or improving top-line revenue growth.

The trend toward digitization is only gaining steam. CIOs currently devote 18 percent of their budgets in support of digital transformation, a figure expected to increase to 28 percent by 2018, Gartner analyst Andy Rowsell-Jones told CIO.com in October after surveying 2,600 CIOs worldwide.

CIO.com checked in on 10 digital transformations underway at some of the world’s leading brands. Following are snapshots of their digital initiatives in progress, overviewing their strategies and implementations and the challenges they’ve met along the way.

Leveraging Linux servers and technology from VMware, Akamai and Oracle, Boos built a private cloud that scales elastically. To better support global transactions in the wake of StubHub’s purchase of Ticketbis, Boos is close to picking a public cloud vendor to process payments locally in 44 countries worldwide. “We’re going to use that to get the transaction closer to the consumer,” Boos says.
