Businesses and organizations in every corner of the country are coming to the same realization – it’s innovate or bust.

The cloud has become chief information officers’ primary gateway to new technologies and capabilities, and with the major public cloud providers setting up shop in Canada, the floodgates are open. Even businesses outside of the country’s major metro areas are on the path of some form of digital transformation.

EDITOR’S NOTE
For our award winners and event attendees, the second annual Digital Transformation Awards were just one night – Aug. 14 to be precise – but for our editorial team here at IT World Canada, it’s been a weeks-long process of poring over nominations, interviewing the people involved, and crafting the stories that we hope captures the essence of hard work and innovation. In this hub, we’ve arranged the articles and videos featuring our award winners and some of the most compelling nominees. I think you’ll find the same thing that we did. Across Canada, digital transformation is taking many different forms – from a non-profit’s efforts to help those at risk of suicide with modernized chat services, to a grocery chain’s digital lab, to a software startup’s use of artificial intelligence to identify the most lucrative sales leads, there’s no corner of the country this trend hasn’t touched. What unites the efforts are the people behind them, each looking to make a difference.
