This paper defines the requirements of the new digital transformation software stack. Digital transformation presents a number of unique requirements that create the need for an entirely new software technology stack. A new generation of 21st century technologies – including elastic cloud computing, the internet of things, and artificial intelligence – is driving digital transformation across industry, commerce, and government globally. The IT industry is now undergoing another major transition. Today it is unimaginable that a major global corporation would try to close its books without an enterprise resource planning system or run its business solely on mainframe computers. Companies that failed to take advantage of each new generation of technology ceased to be competitive. Each delivered dramatic benefits in productivity.Įach offered organizations the opportunity to gain sustainable competitive advantage. Each of these transitions represented a replacement market for its predecessor. The internet and the iPhone changed everything. The software industry has transitioned from custom applications based on mainframe standards such as MVS, VSAM, and ISAM, to applications developed on a relational database foundation, to enterprise application software, to SaaS and mobile apps, and now to the AI-enabled enterprise. During this time, the IT industry has experienced the transition from mainframe computing to minicomputers, to personal computing, to internet computing, and to handheld computing. Over the last four decades, the information technology industry has grown from about $120 billion globally in 1980 to more than $2 trillion.
