EDITOR’S QUESTION of application logic for faster and more intelligent systems. Positive results come from thinking, doing and working digital. Within a defined timeframe we get to a point where we can deliver on customer and employee experiences, quicker and better – and organisations on this digital journey start to shift from project delivery to product delivery. The presence of the Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing layer and all the smart ‘things’ inside any given organisation’s own digital universe starts to coalesce inside a new data analytics fabric. That fabric allows us to be intelligently predictive across all departments, rather than work with the knee-jerk reactive standards of the past. Digital business allows us to start a new process of reengineering. We start to see a foundational transformation of traditional IT departments that used to be driven by top-down organisational change. Instead, there is a new bottom-up architecture and infrastructure evolution with a focus on pace, agility and people. www.intelligentcio.com
