Digital Disruption - Don't leapfrog, pole vault instead

A key lesson in digital transformation is that it is not about re-defining processes merely to implement new  technologies. Technology should be seen as an enabler of new ideas instead of being a singular reason to transform.  Any solution or change in process needs to have the end user’s convenience and perception in mind. A good number  of organizations failed to recognize this and as a result about half of the companies on the Fortune 500 list from a  decade ago are no longer on it.  
While aspiring for digital disruption is a compelling outlook for companies to have, it can also be very tricky. This is  where InfoVision, with its expertise in latest technologies and highly evolved customer-centric design thinking helps  strike the right balance for your organization to bring about digital innovation and positive disruption.

• Implemented a customer verification process to reduce fraudulent use of the gateway

Outcome
