Digital transformation requires accessibility, flexibility and scalability

The priority of the most successful CEOs is figuring out how to apply technology and data to solve business problems and how to uncover new opportunities. With our ever-changing and disruptive business environment, digital transformation has become critical for developing new business models, improving operations, identifying new sources of revenue and outpacing competitive threats. CEOs are adopting Software as a Service to accelerate business transformation while reducing costs and opening doors to innovation.

Digital transformation is about progress, long-term viability, profitability through efficiency, and meeting the needs of the end-user via collaboration within the ecosystem — vendors, suppliers, customers, internal departments, and engineering domains. With the comprehensive digital twin – a pillar of successful digital transformation – companies can design and test products and processes before they ever invest in materials or equipment . This not only empowers innovators to create and improve new and existing products but ensure sustainability throughout the entire product’s lifecycle.

SaaS boosts the efficiency and speed of innovation by introducing cloud connectivity and the opportunity to subscribe to software and services based on the specific needs of your company, your customers, and partners. The SaaS model can open up access to the same high-end tools often used by large organizations, but at a fraction of the cost. An open ecosystem and accessibility from anywhere on any device with internet connection allows the company’s engineers and designers to provide real-time feedback on the latest revisions whether they’re in the same office or in different time zones. Regardless of their domain, engineering teams can collaborate under a secure network and create a better performing product.
