This whitepaper, “How COVID-19 Has Pushed Companies Over the Technology Tipping Point – and Transformed Business Forever,” explores how the pandemic accelerated digital transformation across customer interactions, supply chains, internal operations, remote work, cloud migration, data security, and digital products. With digital adoption moving three to four years faster and digital offerings accelerating by around seven years, the report helps businesses understand why technology is now a core growth, resilience, and competitive strategy, not only a cost-saving tool.

A new survey finds that responses to COVID-19 have sped the adoption of digital technologies by several years, and that many of these changes could be here for the long haul.

The whitepaper shows how COVID-19 created an urgent technology tipping point: companies moved customer interactions online, digitized operations, adopted remote work, accelerated cloud migration, increased data security spending, and used advanced technologies much faster than expected. It also highlights that many changes are likely to stay, especially remote work, online customer engagement, cloud adoption, and digital investment.
