The digital transformation of the industry is an evolutionary process. Five years ago, enterprise software dominated. Today, more than half of mission critical applications leverage cloud technologies to distribute globally.

What’s next? Blockchain technologies. They’re driving cryptocurrencies – including stablecoins – digitization of real-world assets and a decentralized finance approach.
