According to a recent survey by the Federation of Small Businesses, the coronavirus pandemic has seen many businesses adopting new technology quicker than they had planned to.

COVID-19 has simply accelerated the need for cloud technology across many sectors – driving Digital transformation as a result.

What does Digital Transformation mean for your business?

The term digital transformation has been around for a while, embracing this drive for change can be a challenge. Transforming the way you work is not a simple process. It encompasses every element within your business including:

• Migrating from on-premises systems to the cloud
