FROM CLOUD-FIRST TO CLOUD-SMART: THE NEW RULES OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Digital transformation is no longer about scale – it's about smart execution. In this interaction with Dataquest, Ashish Kasi, VP - Software Engineering at Sabre, explains why ROI must be redefined, why interoperability is the new performance metric, and how technology partners are stepping up as co-innovators in driving measurable value.

How has digital transformation strategy been redefined in today's business landscape?

Digital transformation has undergone a fundamental reset. Organisations have moved from technology-led initiatives to business-outcome-driven strategies, where transformation is measured not just by systems deployed, but by value delivered.

What do you see as the toughest challenge for enterprises driving transformation?
