According to IDC, 55% of Malaysian organisations do not have an integrated enterprise-wide digital transformation strategy, and 91% of Malaysian enterprises are either on stage one or two, of a five-stage IDC maturity curve. Many of the challenges faced broadly falls under access and complexity.
The lack of access to the required skills is a large challenge, especially talent steeped in what IDC terms as third and fourth platform technologies and technology delivery models. These include cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT) and mobility (underpinned by 5G), and big data analytics and machine learning, all of which need to operate in a secure environment. Implementing digital transformation requires multi-domain expertise spanning business and technology, which is hard for enterprises to acquire. Emphasis is often placed on processes and not outcomes. Employees often need to be retrained. Business continuity takes precedence over targeted investments.
In the journey towards establishing a Digital Nation, the private-public and people are embracing technologies hence accelerating digital transformation efforts.
