Digital Transformation and the Potential of Artificial Intelligence: Are you fit for 2025?
Market Drivers
Data as the ”new gold” New digital environments and ever changing customer needs challenge companies to make fast decisions these days. AI is the right
solution to improve products and services and build value around your customers. People are more willing than ever to share their
personal information in return for customized solutions. This fact makes data a very precious asset nowadays, sometimes also referred to
as the “new gold” of our time. Well established, traditional companies already have this important asset at hand as they have been in the
market for a long time and possess lots of data on products, services and clients. However, while tech companies know how to make use
of this valuable information properly, large organizations are often struggling with exactly this.
“Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence” is one of the most significant innovations besides the Internet of Things and Blockchain.
It has unimagined potential for reduction of costs while at the same time speeding up processes to a whole new level.
The digitization of processes and documents, the exponential increase in computing power - especially from the cloud - and the
simultaneous decline in technology prices are leading to ever more affordable use cases and disruptive business models. However, it is
purely data which drives the success of AI - in particular the intelligent merging, structuring and interpretation of information.
Unstructured data is interpreted and converted into structured logics enabling increased speed and quality of decision-making processes.
Yet, there is a significant need of orientation, identifying appropriate use cases and incorporating them into corporate strategies and
business models.
Therefore, we have created a four-step AI transformation model to identify how AI can optimize processes and develop innovative business
models. The combination of internal company know-how and external consulting expertise has proven to be an effective way to overcome
the above-mentioned challenges and to deal with these complexities.
Now, the key question remains: “Are you fit for 2025?” – Find out more in the remainder and get in touch with our experts to elaborate your
AI transformation potential!
