Digital Transformation and Its Scope

Digital transformation has taken centre stage in the agendas of organisations, both in the public and private sectors. The global digital transformation market was valued at USD 731.13 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.7% from 2023 to 2030  .

​

Moreover, recent global events, including the pandemic, have accelerated the adoption of digital initiatives as organisations seek more efficient ways of working and enable remote work.

But What Is Digital Transformation?

The term “digital transformation” is frequently used but can be summarised as the shift from traditional techniques to a more digitally-driven mode of business operations, leveraging process automation and advanced technologies. Digital transformation has the potential to streamline and integrate all business operations, enhancing business performance efficiency and improving customer service. It allows organisations to streamline their operations, saving time and resources, and, most importantly, freeing resources for more value-added tasks. It represents the future of work for both employers and employees.

School of Automation and Its Role in Enabling Digital Transformation

The School of Automation was established with a mission to provide training and mentorship to individuals from diverse backgrounds, enabling them to contribute to the digital transformation journey. Simultaneously, we offer them the opportunity for sustainable employment in the dynamic fields of process automation.
