The digital transformation of organizations is a fact that continues to increase both globally and nationally. However, within this panorama is the cloud technology<\/strong> that is capturing the maximum limelight of the investments to which time it facilitates interesting changes in different dimensions.<\/p>\n

Organizational and funding transformations<\/strong><\/p>\n

The report “Predictions 2017” prepared by the consulting firm IDC concludes that the process of digital transformation<\/strong><\/a> of companies<\/strong> is a fact that will not be reversed, regardless of the economic sector or the size of organizations.<\/p>\n

Over the next few years, technological and digital skills will assume a greater role within the managerial profiles of organizations and their boards of directors. But we will also see the emergence of new profiles that will be essential in any company, such as the Chief Digital Officer<\/strong> or the Chief Data Officer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Together with these organizational changes, digital transformation is also propitiating the search for new financing formulas characterized by inter-company collaboration and minimization of risks. We speak, for example, of crowdsourcing<\/strong> or kickstarter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Cloud technology as the core of digital transformation<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, it is estimated that in the case of Spain, in 2018, 48% of organizations will have invested in IoT, while 40% will have adopted Big Data<\/strong><\/a> technologies.<\/p>\n

Ricardo Malhado, senior analyst at IDC Spain, points out that “we are facing the so-called data economy, a clear opportunity for technology providers who will play a crucial role in helping companies identify opportunities to monetize the data they generate and manage.”<\/p>\n

IDC’s “Predictions 2017” report points out 10 keys to the digital transformation of companies over the next three years<\/strong>, of which three are particularly relevant to the future of cloud technology<\/a> investments:<\/p>\n
