Cyberlux Corporation Chief Revenue Officer Chris Damvakaris stated:
"The new digitally conscious consumer is driving organizations to fundamentally change the way they do business in order to stay competitive. Digital Transformation is the convergence of business activities, processes, competencies, and models with digital technologies to enhance the overall user experience. Over the course of 2022, it is anticipated that $800 billion will be spent on technology, with a 22% CAGR over the next 4 years, focused on digital transformation including cloud computing, CRM, EPR, automation, AI, integration and IOT. Holistically, transformation takes thorough execution, and beyond just envisioning change, companies must reimagine their entire business. Digital transformation is a major leap forward, requiring strategic thinking and execution of incremental steps that establish the foundation for a company's ongoing transformation."

Cyberlux Corporation General Manager and Chief Product Officer for the DPS business unit, Igor Stanisavljev commented:
"Traditionally, product development typically meant a stop-gap measure to solve a business problem for most organizations. However, applying digital transformation strategies takes product development through an agile way of thinking and working, where teams can innovate rapidly, building solutions in increments that can be tested and validated with customer feedback as they go. This method of product innovation lifecycle is a holistic way of creating business dexterity and end-customer value. I am very excited to join the fantastic Cyberlux team and drive global digital transformation leadership through our world-class software product development capabilities."

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION MARKET
The shifting technology landscape and customer demands are driving organizations to fundamentally change the way they do business to stay competitive. Digital transformation is the convergence of business with IT, process automation, analytic capabilities for data-driven business decisions, and service / product innovation. During 2022, governments and businesses will spend more than $800 billion globally on digital transformation technology. Investing in the right digital technology provider is critical in laying the foundation to enable digital transformation. Driving automation pervasively throughout an organization will not only enhance operations and revenue generation but result in higher customer and workforce satisfaction.
