Digital transformation means changing how the business runs, using software as the mechanism. It is an operations project with a technology component, not the reverse.
A workable sequence
- Map the processes that actually generate revenue
- Fix the data those processes depend on
- Replace or integrate systems one workflow at a time
- Automate only after the workflow is stable
- Measure adoption, not deployment
