Aircraft manufacturing company Boeing partners with technology giant Microsoft to accelerate its digital transformation journey. This strategic partnership with Microsoft will allow Boeing to use the Microsoft Cloud and AI capabilities to upgrade its IT infrastructure and mission-critical applications with intelligent new data-driven solutions, allowing for new ways of working, operating, and conducting business. Boeing was one of the first companies to use the Microsoft Cloud, storing multiple digital aviation apps on Microsoft Azure and leveraging artificial intelligence to improve customer outcomes and streamline operations. According to the plan, Boeing will leverage Microsoft Cloud and AI capabilities to upgrade essential infrastructure, optimize business processes, and several other tasks. Chief Information Officer and Senior Vice President of Information Technology & Data Analytics at Boeing, Susan Doniz, said, "Today's announcement represents a significant investment in Boeing's digital future. Our strategic partnership with Microsoft will help us realize our cloud strategy by removing infrastructure restraints, properly scaling to unlock innovation, and further strengthening our commitment to sustainable operations."

Across a broad spectrum of sectors, artificial intelligence (AI), digital, the Internet of Things (IoT), process automation, and other technologies are shifting value from manufacturers and distributors to companies that operate end-to-end platforms and provide outcomes as-a-service. For many enterprises, that means constant change and disruption--and a growing threat of market obsolescence. Leaders, revising their five-year plans every quarter, are seeking ways to constantly reinvent their companies to stay ahead of the pack, with competitors of varying capabilities and scale and customers who expect more for less. And for many companies, the answer is large-scale global transformation. Indeed, 80 percent of CEOs in one study claim to have transformations in place to make their businesses more digital; 87 percent expect to see a change in their operating models within three years.1

As VP of Operations at BairesDev, Damián is responsible for the entire customer relations life-cycle, safeguarding the company's operations. There was a time when digital transformation was just another to-do item in most businesses' agendas. After the Covid-19 outbreak, those days came to a forceful halt. Now, every company out there is looking for ways to accelerate digital transformation. Based on my experience in the IT industry, I can comfortably say that these three technologies can drive the trajectory of the digital economy and accelerate digital transformation for businesses across industries.

Microsoft and Nokia collaborate to accelerate digital transformation and Industry 4.0 for communications service providers and enterprises Companies announce their first joint solutions combining Microsoft cloud, AI and machine learning expertise with Nokia's leadership across mission-critical networking and communications REDMOND, Wash., and ESPOO, Finland -- Nov. 5, 2019 -- Microsoft and Nokia today announced a strategic collaboration to accelerate transformation and innovation across industries with cloud, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT). By bringing together Microsoft cloud solutions and Nokia's expertise in mission-critical networking, the companies are uniquely positioned to help enterprises and communications service providers (CSPs) transform their businesses. As Microsoft's Azure, Azure IoT, Azure AI and Machine Learning solutions combine with Nokia's LTE/5G-ready private wireless solutions, IP, SD-WAN, and IoT connectivity offerings, the companies will drive industrial digitalization and automation across enterprises, and enable CSPs to offer new services to enterprise customers. BT is the first global communications service provider to offer its enterprise customers a managed service that integrates Microsoft Azure cloud and Nokia SD-WAN solutions. BT customers can access this through a customer automated delegated rights service, which enables BT to manage both the customer Azure vWAN and the unique Agile Connect SD-WAN, based on Nokia's Nuage SD-WAN 2.0.

As companies strive to improve efficiency and increase innovation and customer engagement, digital transformation is becoming an imperative. In response, CIOs are leaving nothing to chance, overhauling virtually every facet of their companies. Today's trends are tomorrow's reality, and the sooner you take action, the greater the chance of continued growth and efficiency. Yet while most CIOs are feeling the pressure to drive their company's transformation, many lack a plan for doing so. Historically, CIOs oversaw the computer systems and other components of their company's IT infrastructure.

The next, more mature stage of the connectivity will be powered by three key elements: the internet of things, machine learning and 5G. The constant growth of online services and internet of things (IoT) devices generate massive amounts of data, which can be sorted via machine learning algorithms. Unfortunately, digital transformation won't reach its potential unless consumers can trust that all of the data they generate through their devices is private and safe. Many companies today are doing a poor job addressing this need. Here's why I believe that trust is the key component that unlocks the potential of this new technology.

Burger and fries, wine and cheese, peanut butter and jelly … some things just go better together. For organizations embarking on digital transformation, AI and IoT just go better together. These two distinct technologies; AI and IoT (or AIoT) are a natural fit. To take an analogy from the human body; AI without IoT is like a brain without senses to collect data from the world around it. Conversely, IoT without AI is like senses that have no way to distill intelligence from data.
