Globally, digital transformation is growing at a significant rate, higher than expected prior to the Covid 19 pandemic. This trend is no different in India too, since digitization hugely supports any organization’s growing business needs, leading to better business outcomes. Undeniably, organizations leveraging open-source software for digital transformation are experiencing more benefits with the change.

At SUSE, we help customers achieve digital transformation through three phases during their digitalization journey – Simplify, Modernize and Accelerate.

1. Simplify

The focus in this first step is to remove complexities, optimize applications and data in the existing IT infrastructure, reduce waste and enhance automation. Organizations exploring digital transformation often expand their IT infrastructure in ad-hoc ways to accommodate their growing business needs. It is no doubt a challenge to manage diverse applications across various platforms which could be on premise or in the cloud. With SUSE’s software defined infrastructure (SDI) solutions, businesses can simplify their IT applications and data within existing IT environment, leveraging open source technologies to avoid vendor lock-in, support you in securely manage and run your applications, offering system updates without downtime, in order to achieve non-stop IT. With no disruption and faster response time, this in turn allow organizations to have a more engaged workforce and happier customers.

2. Modernize

Organizations today, want to achieve the benefits offered by the cloud, while remaining in full control. SUSE offers this flexibility on a single platform that helps to manage different environments too, such as running the legacy workloads alongside the cloud-native applications. Container and storage solutions based on open source technologies are designed to help organizations rapidly deploy, manage and scale applications across any environment based on the business needs – whether businesses are adopting an on-premise, cloud or hybrid cloud model. By bringing applications and data into modern computing, businesses can improve customer experience and remain competitive in the market.

3. Accelerate

To leap frog in competition, businesses need to ensure their applications can deliver greater customer experiences and harness insights to drive better business outcomes. SUSE helps organizations accelerate and scale their business in digitalization by delivering applications faster, smarter and more efficiently to increase their competitiveness.
