Exploring the challenges of Digital Transformation with Fernando Anaya, ngena Value Architect Manager
By Abe Haller
This week, I sat down with Fernando Anaya – the Value Architect Manager of our team here at ngena. As an expert in the networking field, Fernando is key to the ngena team. by helping to bridge sales and product teams, as well as being a speaker and trainer about SD-WAN, SASE, Cloud,and as a Service, among other topics. As someone working on bringing simplified digital transformation to global enterprises, Fernando sees challenges that enterprises are facing trying to keep up with changing times and updating technology.
A lot of enterprises attempt their digital transformation with a lack of clear strategy: Without a clear plan for how to implement and measure success for digital transformation initiatives, it can be difficult for organizations to know where to focus their resources – leading to delayed project completion as well as costs exceeding the project budget.
Modern technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things can be challenging and time consuming to implement; and time is an essential asset in modern business. Most enterprises have not built their teams with digital transformation in mind; a key part of implementing and maintaining digital transformation is creating and retaining a project team capable of managing the change – a costly and challenging task.
Even if a team may already be in place at the company, fear of job loss due to new technology and lack of pre-transformation training could cause resistance from existing employees to adapt to this change. Another challenge facing every company undergoing a digital transformation is securing data.
Data is hugely important, and valuable – as an enterprise, it is important to ensure that you have the proper security surrounding your data. Data is stored online more and more often and no longer in physical servers – security breaches can leak sensitive data and they need to be avoided at all costs, which is easier said than done. Finally, it is always important to ensure an investment is worth it – measuring ROI on digital transformation is tough, but necessary to justify the large cost. It is key for enterprises to ensure that the benefits outweigh the costs.
So, how can enterprises overcome these obstacles?

This can help reduce the difficulties of integrating new technologies and services, as compliance differs so much around the word and learning the rules of each location can be extremely time consuming and costly, especially is legal services are required for said enterprise.
