Enhanced Automation and Productivity
An organization undergoing a digital transformation can extend the reach and improve the quality of its automation capabilities significantly. Solutions can be built using combinations of technologies that can enable organizations to automate business tasks so as to boost operational productivity.
For example, automation technologies can:
automate tasks that previously needed to be performed manually
automate new tasks in support of new products and services
automate data collection across environments outside of organization boundaries
automate actuating tasks in remote devices outside of organization boundaries
automate tasks at a higher usage capacity than what was previously achievable
automate tasks more reliably than what was previously possible
automate decision-making
improve the security and quality of storage for private, sensitive and important business data
What is significant about digital transformation environments is how they combine these technologies into distinct platforms that help achieve strategic goals via their collective features (Figure 4.3).

Figure 4.3 The application of digital transformation technology improves the quality and efficiency of a range of operational business tasks.
