transformation technologies, with CAE Labs. Digital transformation: it’s more than just a buzzword. Used well,
Digital transformation is the process of integrating digital technologies into all areas of a business, and not just as an add-on or afterthought.
In short, digital transformation is a complete cultural change. It’s about infusing everything you do with an intelligent, data-driven approach, harnessing and integrating the analytics and automation technologies available to help you achieve your business goals. There isn’t one single digital transformation strategy that will work for everyone: what it looks like for you will depend on your own unique workforce and objectives.
It’s true, digital transformation is a phrase we hear a lot. And like many trending terms, it’s often used superficially, without any focus on real, significant change. In fact as many as 70% of digital transformation projects fail, thanks in part to this lack of vision or buy-in. If digital transformation is implemented without insight, organisations are likely to be left behind by those who see its full potential.
It’s best to illustrate this with some real-world examples. At CAE Labs, we work every day with organisations
looking to use digital transformation technologies to achieve their business goals. It’s exciting to see what this looks like in real life and grasp the real possibilities that innovative technological solutions can bring.

Convenience store chain Co-op overhauled its technology platform with the intention of offering additional services to its customers - a key vision for the business. With help from CAE Labs, a new store architecture was implemented, resulting in measurable business benefits, such as an increased average basket size.
At Wrexham County Borough Council, the network infrastructure used by 70 schools had evolved piecemeal over the years - and as a result there was little to no standardisation, visibility or control for IT teams. CAE Labs undertook a complete network redesign and implementation, resulting in a faster and more streamlined operating model that can be deployed almost instantly in order to provision additional schools. Centralised, at-a-glance visibility and control means that everything can be monitored and controlled easily.
That’s a common myth. And in this economic climate, it’s one with some justification. But while it’s certainly possible to make significant cost savings by harnessing digital transformation technologies, that improvement in business efficiency that comes with this type of culture change doesn’t need to translate into a widespread loss of valuable human resources.
