Digital transformation is more than just digital; it’s about remodeling the business strategies to be customer-centric, agile and innovative at their core. Many businesses are starting to perceive the potential of digital to engage customers externally as well as streaming internal processes.

Digitization is at the frontline of change! It leaves a tremendous impact on the business by disrupting the existing business model and making the organization ready for the continuously changing internal factors, external competitors, industry trends and new technologies. Most advanced marketers are now forging a path with innovative, creative as well as original ideas and adopting digital transformation to reinvent themselves and capture opportunities in the digital era.

As companies grow they become more IT-intensive which increases the complexity of the IT landscape. For enterprises to be ready for the next industrial revolution, they must transform digitally to overcome the complexities and unlock new potentials. It’s time, enterprises rebuild their technology to bring their vision come alive and succeed in the connected future.

Following are the 5 benefits to an agile approach to digital transformation which are the key to innovation as well as surviving in a rapidly changing digital world:

Improved efficiency and flexibility

Digital transformation help organizations eliminate the bottlenecks that exist in the current process and harm the efficiency as well as the flexibility to change with the changing demands. When business replaces the legacy processes with automated workflows, they can create new business models to improve the efficiency and thus provide better results to the specific demands of the customers. They can have the flexibility to switch according to the priorities.

Streamlining the process

Organizations can now evolve their existing infrastructure and processes with cutting-edge technologies that can seamlessly integrate with their systems and data through digital transformation. They can streamline their entire work process by adopting collaboration, automation, usability and real time processes and thus increase proficiency to make improved decisions. This helps companies to capitalize on their data and make faster decisions to reach goals sooner.

Improved customer satisfaction

Companies can achieve complete customer contentment through their digital transformation efforts. In order to be successful, the companies have to work in unison with a clear vision of the organizational challenges which needs attention. The agile approach to the enterprise encourages continuous stakeholder and customer management, regular communication and feedback sessions which are critical in achieving the mission.

Continuous improvement

With a streamlined process, improved efficiency and flexibility and improved customer satisfaction, firms can continuously improve and expand. The agile development enables the team to always learn, collaborate and work well throughout regular reviews and iterations and expand their own knowledge. Firms can deliver innovative outcomes by developing unique solutions, processes, services and business models in an agile environment.

Reduced risks

In an IT landscape, the chances of failure are largely reduced. An agile approach to digital transformation eliminates maximum bottlenecks and makes the firm future-ready by automatizing daily updates, communications, workflows, internal as well as external processes and collaborative feedback at the end of each sprint ensure nothing is missed and every issue is answered easily.

With a rise in the usage of storage data centers and increasing complexities to manage data crossing across the network, it becomes apparent that many companies face a daunting challenge to thrive in the digital era. Hence, large, medium or small enterprises need to transform/build their network by adopting NFV (Network functions virtualization).

Network functions virtualization as the name suggests abstract physical networking components into software applications via virtualization technology. It promises cost-efficient transition on the software platform to break the vendor lock-in problem as well as reduces power consumption and equipment cost. NFV is widely known as the game changer in the telecom industry over the past years.

With numerous benefits NFV enables the transformational journey in response to the sky-rocketing network demand. Many companies are embracing NFV to enable agility, speed as well as creating the ability to deliver services at an unprecedented rate. Compared with other server virtualizations, NFV is growing at an annual rate of 32%. It acts as an innovative foundation for the companies to compete effectively as well as allows them to become service-oriented and client-centric.

Benefits of NFV

• Rapid service delivery
• Hardware Flexibility
• Cost efficient
• Automated & Operational efficiency
• Agility
• Scalablity & Elasticity
• Easy Validation

Standard IT network functions virtualization combined with software-defined networking can help the telecom service providers overcome the constraints of hardware based appliances while attempting to accelerate the deployment of new network services to support their revenue and growth objectives.

It involves implementing network functions in software that can run on a range of industry standard server hardware, and that can be moved to, or instantiated in various locations in the network as required, without the need to install new equipment. NFV is inherently automation friendly and can help organizations decentralize tasks associated with running the business such as inventory management as well as the procurement process.

NFV in combination with SDN technologies are being used to build a secure “demilitarized zone” inside the data centre. This means now every virtual machine inside a data centre has its own virtual firewall, in addition to the physical firewalls that defend the perimeter. NFV is the key in the telecom sector, unleashing services that run on networks like network routing, content delivery networks, load balancing, as well as the security functionality making it more agile and robust.

The 4 pillars of NFV

Virtualization	Abstraction	Programmability	Orchestration
High-performance standard servers for carrier applications	Service and network abstraction	Data control & management planes	Multi-service eco-system, policy driven flows
Comprehensive hypervisor support	On-demand resourcing	Open and developer-friendly APIs	Policy-driven flows and steering

Transform your network as well as operations with agile NFV solutions by Digicor which will help you meet your business goals in your timeline. Our portfolio spans many technologies and products brought together with an open ecosystem which helps you boost efficiency, reduce costs, and deliver more value to your customers.

It’s clear that NFV can address the key trends by bringing new services to the market faster so you can compete with cloud providers and seize emerging 5G, IoT, and large enterprise opportunities. If all goes well, NFV will soon be transforming the way operators design and implement networks and network services for the better.
