The massive development in new technologies and innovations drives us to take advantage of it.
However, even with the big motivation for joining the digital transformation, we mostly encounter the dilemma of how to do it properly for our business.
There’s no surprise that we all ask such questions like;
- How can I deploy new technologies?
- What is the right product to solve my problem?
- Should I manage the migration in-house or outsource?
