Back in 2011, the phrase “digital transformation” was in vogue in tech-based opinion pieces as a passing phenomenon and a response to the changing times. Back then, Capgemini (along with Massachusetts Institute for Technology Center for Digital Business) defined it as “the use of technology to radically improve performance or the reach of businesses.” More than a decade later, the expression has far more resonance.

While industries coped with varying degrees of uncertainty, digital transformation became the focal point of information technology as it determined enterprises’ success.
Websites are an amenity packaged as a utility. If your site isn’t reliable and fast, users have options to replace it and they probably will. How you build your site and how you maintain it impacts your site’s success. Regardless of whether you’re launching your website, relaunching, or even rebranding, you don’t have to break the wheel to build a solid website that can withstand the traffic and growth of your enterprise.
When we think of climate change, we don’t usually think about corporate IT or the externality costs associated with video calls or heavy email attachments. Digital technology has a serious—and increasing—impact on our environment, with a carbon footprint of about 4% of global carbon emission (that’s more than the aviation industry’s 2.5% contribution). Outside of our digital work lives, I think we’ve grown accustomed to sustainable practices.
