Digital Transformation: What It Means for Business

So many aspects of our world have gone from the physical to the digital. Take money, for example. If you're one of those people who says, "I never carry cash with me," then you're part of the digital transformation age. For businesses, depending on your segment, this can mean a variety of things. For retailers, this  means competing with e-commerce and differentiating their value based on an enhanced customer experience. For others, this means shifting paper-based or inefficient processes to the digital realm.

To get a better understanding of what digital transformation means and how organizations are adapting, we spoke with IT leaders at CDW's Executive Summit in Chicago.
