The message was clear at Radar Summit 2018 in Stockholm, Sweden: The IT business finds itself at an all-time high right now thanks to a powerful digitization wave, so take advantage of the opportunities by automating the workflows at your company.
Whichever way an executive turns, he or she must consider information technology and the air it breathes—digitization—as one of the most important tools for growth and competitiveness. At this year’s Radar Summit, Hans Werner, CEO at Radar, pointed to automatization and digitization, among other things, as the tools companies should keep at the ready if they want to be stronger and better at what they are doing and are passionate about—no company in any industry can escape this.
Digitization? Yes Please, but First a Large Dose of Inspiration
The message might seem rather old at this point for those of us that eat, sleep, and live IT. But that does not make it any less true or relevant. On the contrary, the time for action has never been more pressing. The art is in doing it well and with the right help.
One simple first step forward can be to let yourself be inspired at events such as the largest meeting-ground for IT decision-makers in Sweden: Radar Summit.
With more than 700 participants and an impressive list of keynote speakers, this year’s Summit was bursting at the seams with IT goodies.
