Prior to digital transformation to achieve new value creation, many companies undertake IT modernization initiatives to ensure systems can support the digital transformation. IT and shared services groups need to modernize so they can respond more effectively and quickly to the business needs for innovation and competitive advantage. We often find that companies don’t realize that IT modernization in a digital world is very different from traditional transformations in the past.

The experience of a leading global healthcare company serves as an example of a highly successful approach.
