95% of organizations already seeing the need to adopt a digital-first strategy, indicating the inevitability of the digital business era.

MANILA, 22 February 2023 – In a recent report, IDC predicts that spending on digital technology by organizations will grow at 8x the economy in 2023, while spending on digital technologies is forecasted to rise to $2.8 trillion globally by 2025. CEOs are optimistic that 34.6% (by 2025) and 40.9% (by 2027) of revenue will come from digital products, services, and/or experiences.

To succeed in this era, organizations will need to attract digital talent, make appropriate digital infrastructure investments, provide seamless connectivity, improve enterprise intelligence, implement data-driven operations, establish trust, improve customer experiences, scale digital innovation, strengthen industry ecosystems, and, ultimately, achieve measurable business goals and outcomes.

“In the wake of a looming global recession, social unrest, and political turmoil, along with the long-lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic – the era of digital transformation is evolving into the digital business era. Organizations have addressed departmental challenges that resulted in having islands of innovations and have closed the digital ROI gap. Leading enterprises are now primed to build and scale new business models to run a viable sustainable digital business for the long term,” says Sandra Ng, Group Vice President and General Manager, IDC Asia/Pacific.
