COVID impact on digital transformation by country

In response to the global pandemic, 78 percent of German respondents say that their organizations accelerated digital transformation by a great deal. Digital transformation requires investments in technologies as well as people and processes to increase business value. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, digitization processes have sped up due to an increase in demand to work remotely and access information from different locations. Generally, many organizations have undergone a re-negotiation of their relationship to and use of technology because of the pandemic.
