  • Out with the old, in with the new – building a better BT
    on March 11, 2024

    Digital transformation. It’s a phrase we hear a lot as businesses. But what does it really mean? For me, it’s about becoming a modern business that uses technology as an enabler – a way to break our dependence on the old, and embrace newer, smarter ways of working. It’s about future-proofing.It’s a fascinating time to work in tech: more data, more technology, more devices, all helping us work faster, smarter, better. I’ve always seen change as a catalyst and use it as a way to reassess where we are going and find better ways forward. The opportunity is great for businesses, but the stakes are high. Can’t, or won’t adapt, and you’ll get left behind. Customers of all sizes in every location tell us about this challenge every day.Whether we’re talking about start-ups or multi-nationals, changing to keep pace with the digital world is business-critical for us all. And at BT, we’re doing two things: looking out, helping customers to reap the benefits of going digital; […]
