The Springboard for Digital Transformation.
The Convergence of 5G, IOT and Edge: Preparing for a Digital Quantum Leap (TBC).

On the Summit website, IDC summed up the digital transformation challenges in the country in this way – “As the definition of the New Normal continues to evolve, so does the shape of tomorrow’s digital enterprise. Organizations are digitally adapting as they encounter unprecedented challenges and a long road to recovery, with acceleration and resiliency emerging as key differentiators in a changing world.”
