Digital transformation (DX) has become a crucial strategy for organizations seeking to stay competitive. However, the path to digital success has its challenges. According to the 2025 CIO Survey by Gartner, only 48% of digital initiatives across the enterprise meet or exceed their business outcome targets. Despite significant investments, many businesses still struggle to realize the full potential of their digital transformation efforts. As more than 80% of CIOs plan to invest in GenAI, cybersecurity, Business Intelligence, data analytics, and integration technologies by 2025, the need for effective strategies becomes even more critical.
At N-iX, we understand the complexities of digital transformation. In this article, we share valuable insights from key industry reports and some N-iX digital transformation case studies that highlight the importance of DX.
