The reward for enterprises that embrace digital transformation is higher than ever before. Constellation Research found that in digitally transformed industries, leading companies are taking 70 percent of the revenue and over 77 percent of profit. The companies leading the charge are new businesses and startups bringing fresh ideas and digital fluency to their organization. Businesses that fail to adopt continue to lose out to their more agile competitors.
