Technology is having a profound impact on the UK’s top enterprises, with many IT leaders concerned about keeping up with the pace of change expected in 2017. Our Digital Trends Report 2017, in partnership with Ensono, collated the views of the Nimbus Ninety community, over 250 technology and business leaders from more than 20 sectors, to understand what tech trends and disruptions were on the radar for the year ahead.

The forces driving transformation in the year ahead Rapid technological change is having a profound effect on operations and culture within the UK’s top enterprises, with 57% rethinking business models, according to the Nimbus Ninety annual Digital Trends Survey, in partnership with Ensono. For 60%, ‘business as usual’ is diverting crucial leadership attention away from digital transformation - confirming that resourcing is a critical problem for IT and technology teams.

The word 'ecosystem' is widely used to describe the variety of complex networks and interdependent relationships that exist in today's business and technology landscapes.

The phenomenon of the platform economy and its transformative impact on the competitive landscape and established brands has gripped the media in the past few years.

Data. That’s what an astounding number of our members at our recent IGNITE summit took the most value from. Facts, figures, statistics; quantifiable answers to help them solve problems or drive innovation. Here at Nimbus Ninety, we consider it vital to listen to our members and provide useful and insightful collateral that’s on-trend and shareable with peers.

Today is a very exciting day for us all at Nimbus, for two big reasons. Number 1 of course, is that today is the first day of our 6th IGNITE summit in London, focusing on the highly topical subject of business model reinvention (more on that later…). Secondly, because today we are launching our new report, Digital Business Model Reinvention, part one of our Digital Leaders Insight Series. It’s a pretty proud day for the whole team as it represents the latest phase in our legacy of over 10 years of independent research into the impact and implications of digital trends and technologies.

The phenomenon of digital disruption and its transformative impact on the competitive landscape and established brands has gripped the media in the past few years.

It’s no secret that the “Internet of Things” (IoT) is the favoured subject of discussion for the digital world at the moment – even the mainstream has jumped on the bandwagon, with talk of the “smart” digital revolution bringing us the home, car, and city of the future to the imminent present.

From the results of Part 1 of our Digital Benchmarking Survey, Nimbus Ninety has just released our latest Digital Trends Report for May 2015.

The days when a business was considered leading-edge for having a digital strategy encompassing mobile, e-commerce and social media feel long gone. In fact some would argue that, in the ‘digital age’ we now live, a business could hardly survive without these customary ‘bolt-on’ digital tools. This, of course, is debatable but one thing is for sure, the true ‘digital leaders’ have a lot more to their digital strategies than only these digital offerings.
