Our world is changing. We are in the midst of an economic and societal transformation on par with that of the Industrial Revolution. Organizations across every sector are applying digital technologies to disrupt models of business and engagement, and to reimagine customer experiences.

Built on cloud and connected through mobile platforms, new applications take full advantage of sophisticated data analytics, vast amounts of compute and storage, social networks, and global scale. With smart, mobile devices in hand, we tap into these apps to innovate new business strategies and new ways to live our lives. It’s not an exaggeration to say that everything is changing—the way we build community, earn a living, access healthcare, get an education—and the possibilities are limitless.

The stories in this book bring to life the impact of the digital transformation we are experiencing. Consider a company like Medic Mobile, which harnesses ubiquitous cell-phone technology and mobile-cloud infrastructure to deliver healthcare to some of the most remote villages in the world. Or Chitale Dairy in India, which is “connecting cows to the cloud” to help 10,000 independent dairy farmers improve animal health while increasing dairy production.

We hope these stories inspire you, and we look forward to partnering with you on this journey of digital transformation.

PAT GELSINGER CEO, VMware
