Specialization in Digital Transformation

What is Specialization in Digital Transformation?

Currently, technological change affects the speed at which organizations must maintain and adapt to the new challenges of the economy and globalization. This has led to the phenomenon known as the «global village,» where it is increasingly difficult for companies to compete, regardless of their size or the economic sector in which they operate. Based on this premise, ICT investments have become the strategic factor that makes the difference between successful companies and those that disappear.

As a result, María Cano, as a private higher education institution that is essentially academic, autonomous, and committed to the region’s and country’s society, recognizes the importance of training professionals capable of interpreting the factors that determine the digital economy, specifically in the field of the digitalization of services and business processes under the concept of digital transformation.
