A guiding light for the digital transformation of the workplace

Advice Image: © HONGWEI/Stock.adobe.com The face of work has been irrevocably altered over the last number of years and with that has come significant upheaval for the workforce. Compared to previous decades or just the last couple of years leading up to the pandemic, working life as we know it is very different. Digitalisation has changed how we work, where we work and even the legislation that dictates our rights as employees . It is a brand new world, but like Rome, this new infrastructure wasn’t built in a day, nor is construction ever really over. As technology continues to create waves, both good and bad, it is important that employers guide the workforce through the tumultuous process of digital transformation. Here is how you can do that. Transparency No one likes to feel as though they are being left in the dark, particularly if the consequences have the potential to negatively affect them. Digitally transforming a company can involve a complete overhaul of existing systems, the reshuffling of personnel, a change in resource allocation and even job loss. Employees are naturally going to have reservations about technologies that could potentially replace them , so it is imperative that […]

Japan's digital transformation must not derail decarbonization drive

Japan’s digital transformation must not derail decarbonization drive

Data center-related power consumption is estimated to rise by 550 times by 2050 U.S. giants Oracle, Microsoft and Amazon Web Services have each announced multibillion dollar investments in Japan’s data center development. Will Fee is a researcher at the Tokyo-based Yuri Group. He is the lead writer of the GxxD series of reports, which explore the intersection between digitalization and green energy in Japan. Japan is in the midst of a political transition, with uncertainty surrounding its next leader’s agenda. However, one area likely to see continuity is the push toward a digital-first society, a key policy known as DX (digital transformation) championed by outgoing Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

Unlocking the potential of generative AI in the software development life cycle

Unlocking the potential of generative AI in the software development life cycle

Revitalizing digital transformation: Harnessing generative AI to improve modern software development. Credit: Drazen Zigic Digital Transformation is critical to modern enterprises, yet creating it remains inefficient. Nearly half of C-suite respondents report that over 30% of tech projects are late or over budget, with one in five dissatisfied with most outcomes. Generative AI is poised to redefine software creation and digital transformation. The traditional software development life cycle (SDLC) is fraught with challenges, particularly requirement gathering, contributing to 40-50% of project failures. A 2024 study found that three-quarters of product features are rarely used, underscoring the need for precision. And the challenges don’t end there. The testing phase, particularly user acceptance testing (UAT), can become a labor-intensive bottleneck — and a budget breaker. According to a 2023 Capgemini report , companies spend about 35% of their IT budget on testing — a figure that has remained stubbornly high despite advancements in automation. These challenges persist because companies still rely on traditional SDLC management methods, which can result in slow, error-prone processes. It’s time we demand a shift in our approach to the SDLC. How generative AI transforms the SDLC GenAI has emerged as a transformative solution to address these […]

Impact on Digital Transformation

Impact on Digital Transformation

A 2023 Statista report projects that by 2030 there will be 30 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices in use. That is three times as many as there were in 2020. The numbers continue to grow because connecting sensors and systems, especially across a business, promises big efficiency gains and new insights. As such, the IoT and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) have become a launching pad for digital transformation — not only for individual organizations but for entire industries. There are implications for physical security, however, as connecting more devices to IT networks makes both more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Here are best practices on how to bring all your organization’s IoT/IIoT data together to generate meaningful outcomes while mitigating cybersecurity risks. Terms Clarified: IoT and IIoT The IoT is a networked ecosystem of devices that connect and exchange data with each other over the Internet or other networks. While IoT generally relates to consumer-connected devices, IIoT is focused on device connectivity across a business to facilitate monitoring and support operations. Today, many organizations are implementing IIoT strategies to achieve specific business outcomes. Some are merging VMS and access control systems with lighting and HVAC solutions to enhance automation, […]
