The forum saw more than 250 attendees and was focused on bringing forward the business value of emerging technologies through a series of show-and-tell sessions with LIVE demonstrations and 1:1 discussions with small, medium and large enterprises.
Riza Wadood, Country General Manager at IBM Sri Lanka said, “Today we are at an inflection point in Sri Lanka where growth and differentiation are driving businesses forward. Digital has now become the norm for businesses to stay relevant and provide customers with the cutting edge solutions they require. IBM has been in Sri Lanka for 57 years and our legacy expertise in leveraging tech solutions to drive digital transformation for our clients is most relevant to the Sri Lankan industry.”
Digital transformation is the transition from traditional tools and business methods to digital technologies that enable innovation -from industries like retail and bankingoffering mobile apps for shopping or banking; to business functions like supply chain innovating with blockchain to prevent contaminated food entering your kitchen, or building maintenance managers using IoT data to track a heating problem within minutes rather than days.
Digital transformation is leading to improved business performance and much simpler user experiences. Digital strategy from IBM provides clients with the resources to succeed and grow, empowering them to offer new experiences through a new and disruptive focus on business model innovation and market activation.
