Legacy systems was the main obstacle to digital transformation for more companies in Asia Pacific (43%), compared to those in North America (37%) and Europe (33%).

It’s the main obstacle for companies with revenues exceeding $1bn (44%) and for those ranging between $100m and $1bn (43%), while the concern is lesser, at 28%, for companies with revenue of less than $100m.

For many organisations, outdated IT systems and increasing number of mergers and acquisitions remain some of the main barriers to digital transformation.
