As the global story unfolds, ITES industry is in midst of a Digital transformation wave. It is largely about the opportunity to transform customer experiences and business models and less about the technology. Indeed, as the toolset for digital transformation expands beyond the original set of social, mobile, analytics and cloud (SMAC) technologies to include artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cognitive computing, success will be increasingly about the integrated deployment of several technologies as opposed to simply deploying one tool.

Consequently, it is expected that organizations with higher levels of process maturity will be more likely to succeed with digital transformation.
