Digital Transformation as a Service (DXaaS) describes the technology and service components that help an enterprise during its Digital transformation journey. The advent of new technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning, Cloud computing, Quantum computing, Blockchain technologies, Data Science and Big data technologies makes the businesses to change their rules every day. These digital disruptions started transforming business processes and models continuously. Hence, Digital transformation is inevitable for any organization to withstand today’s highly competitive global market. This book, ‘Digital Transformation as a Service (DXaaS)’ focuses on the platform required for managing continuous innovations and continuous optimizations of business processes. It classifies the DXaaS systems into six broad categories – DX Continuous Innovation Planning Systems, DX Governance Systems, DX Continuous Optimization Systems, DX Testing Systems, DX Release Orchestration Systems and DX Integrated Workplace. These systems contribute to achieve an enterprise to govern its digital transformation maturity cycle. This book will provide a roadmap for the Digital Transformation and guidelines for developing DXaaS systems, and also act as great source of information to start the Digital transformation journey for any company.
