Today’s businesses are under increasing pressure to become a digital-native enterprise (DNE). According to IDC, who coined the term, DNE refers to an organisation that “scales its operations and innovates at an order of magnitude that is greater than that of traditional businesses” through digitally-driven philosophies, best practices, tools and technologies.

The benefits of digitally transforming is becoming more and more evident. But for a country like Malaysia where the adoption of new technologies typically lags that of developed nations by a couple of years, it is the rising global competition that is directly affecting them that has truly made people realise that they have to adapt and embrace this wave of digital change or be swept away by the currents.
