Digital transformation is inevitable, in this globalized and digital business ecosystem. But, businesses have found it challenging to complete a total digital transformation because they don't understand digital transformation is more of strategy than merely applying technology. Connectivity is the key to unlock total Digital Transformation. Despite having the key, businesses are failing for various reasons. To enable businesses towards total digital transformation we present how the Dell Boomi platform can be a one-stop solution offering new-age connectivity and integration solutions.
Connectivity Pain Points of Businesses
1. Diverse Systems and Applications
59 percent of respondents admitted they knew their organization had missed opportunities due to poor integration."
The Total Economic Impact™ Of The Dell Boomi Platform
With the rise in IoT, the demands for a strong integration ecosystem rose drastically, which in turn created a need for innovative connectivity solutions. Most of the businesses use different systems or applications and the need to integrate these varied systems for specific functions gives rise to various connectivity challenges. Not using robust integration tools resulted in failed connection, defective applications, intermittent functional flow, deprived workflow efficiency, increased downtime and decreased information visibility.
2. Lack of Transparency in Legacy Systems Connectivity
Legacy systems are often considered the biggest barriers to digital transformation. Legacy modernization is achieved either by replacing entire systems with new-age applications or by building interfaces connecting legacy systems with the rest of the business systems or applications. Migration teams in a hurry to complete the migration process, sometimes use native tools that lead to improper connectivity. Thereby resulting in data loss and may also lead to inappropriate functional implementation or may also leave vulnerabilities for cyber attacks.

3. Improper Data Flow Management
Data is a crucial aspect of any business and success of any business decision purely depends on the ability to organize data and extract intelligence. Demand for numerous data types flow in and out of various systems constantly.
While connecting two divergent systems, defining accurate data mechanisms for data storage and flow management becomes very intricate. Not getting the data connectivity done precisely will have a direct impact on business decisions, productivity, and business agility. This becomes even more complex with businesses that have more legacy systems. Thereby affecting the overall culture of the organization, which in turn leads to a failed digital transformation journey.
