Читать книгу Building a Digital Future - Lipi Sarkar - Страница 9

By reading this foreword, and more importantly this great book, you have made a good choice. It proves that you are interested in growing, developing your experience of digital transformation, and want to add value in your transformation journey. Working remotely in this pandemic situation can be challenging when you need to perform a balancing act between work and personal life while staying at home. If the experience of working remotely is seamless yet efficient, the quality of your personal time is expected to be more relaxed.

As a Commercial Channels Leader at Microsoft, I have witnessed the acceleration in digital transformation and seen two years’ worth of digital transformation in two months.

I am incredibly happy and honored to write the foreword of this great book—Building a Digital Future. In my Channel Partner Keynote presentation, I said that in today's world, we need bold leaders to take bold action for a bold vision. In times of transition, it takes a leader with a bold vision who is willing to step out and push through the nay-sayers, willing to share his or her vision with everyone, and bring them along in that journey. We are in a huge time of transition and technology has reached the stage where it is in everyone's hand.

What I like about this book is you can tell that the authors have an excellent understanding and have experienced the digital transformation journey themselves. This book is not just about technology; it is a practical guide to planning and implementing a digital transformation strategy using Dynamics 365 and Power Platform. The authors have laid out a roadmap highlighting key areas of concern, planning considerations before beginning the transformation journey, leveraging the capabilities from Dynamics 365 and Power Platform, and identified business support model considerations post implementation of technology.

In this era of change to digital, organizations must transform their own business to adapt and maybe survive. For leaders who are winners, Building a Digital Future is a prerequisite to become and stay successful in this digital world. It helps leaders to identify the right strategy that will outline the scope of their business, find ways to assess the importance of a digital transformation culture, and craft an innovative model to leverage their business using Dynamics 365 in digital transformation.

It is increasingly difficult to engage with various industry leaders and experts when the business is coping and busy with the new “normal,” but I am glad to see many experiences and customer stories, views, and quotes throughout this book.

I recommend that you read this practical book, full of sharp insight, thought-provoking ideas, no matter where you are in your Dynamics 365 transformation and at whatever stage of your digital maturity.
