Thought-leadership from the inside out Moving from analogue to digital - product distribution to a platform business

Axiz's digital transformational journey captures a trajectory of moving a business from being a pure traditional distributor of products (hardware and software) to a platform for trade facilitating a value driven ecosystem. This journey not only transcends technology but fundamentally entails redefining a new business identity in digital presence, redefining and investing in new core business competencies with value proposition to market while challenging, but leveraging, traditional business thinking.

The obvious complexities and challenges clearly eliminates the possibility of a "one size fits all" strategy to all business, "or does it?" Nonetheless the digital age demands unprecedented business designs to survive this unpredictable but inevitable wall. The "platform business" perhaps present a methodology to begin unravelling key business concepts in transforming a business.
