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.
