Indeed, for many tax & accounting firms and corporate tax departments, a digital transformation is the solution. A digital transformation is simply the rewiring of how a company or department operates, but it is more than just about which digital tools are adopted over a period of time. In fact, digital transformation is an ongoing process, and there should not be an end date in place to mark when the last piece of equipment or software is purchased or installed. The strategies around a digital transformation must be all-encompassing for proper execution and eventual success. Yet, digital transformation can be fraught with challenges and risks. In fact, just 16% of respondents said that their teams’ digital transformations have improved […]

Partnership tackles the complexity of cloud ecosystems, open source solutions, open APIs and customised instrumentation. Credit: Tariq Shaikh (Deloitte), Julie Bateman (Dynatrace) and Matt Dalton (Deloitte) / Supplied Deloitte New Zealand is teaming-up with Dynatrace to help local organisations accelerate their digital transformations and cloud migrations. High-quality data was critical to inform business and product strategies, optimise and automate processes and drive continuous improvements, the firm said. However, the scale and complexity of data from modern cloud ecosystems, combined with the increased use of open source solutions, open APIs, and other customised instrumentation made it hard to achieve this goal. “When we talk to our clients, we hear concerns about business resiliency and the lack of visibility around the health of key business platforms, all of which translate to risk for business leaders,” said Damian Harvey, Deloitte partner and engineering lead. Dynatrace, however, delivered deep insights into the operation of platforms across legacy infrastructure, cloud and SaaS. Deloitte said combining the firm’s expertise in business process and technology platforms with Dynatrace’s observability and security platform could improve core process visibility, reduce concerns about resilience and ensure critical business operations faced minimal disruption. Alliances played a crucial role in how […]
