The document discusses how focusing digital transformation efforts on improving business operations can provide significant benefits. It outlines three key areas of business operations that can be transformed: customer experience, products/services, and core operations. For each area, examples are given of how digital technologies like data analytics, IoT sensors, and predictive algorithms have helped leading companies improve processes, increase efficiency, offer new services, and gain a competitive advantage. The document advocates that enterprises identify opportunities within these three operational areas as a "sweet spot" to drive momentum in digital transformation efforts across the organization.

farmer’s equipment
gather real-time data
on soil temperature,
nutrients and moisture
levels.
