DXC Technology Cites Digital Twins as Business Imperative for Enterprises Across Sectors
Summary
As the internet of things (IoT) connects more and more of these devices within organizations, virtual simulations of physical environments are becoming an increasingly critical piece of an enterprise digital strategy. “By simulating physical environments in a virtual world, organizations are able to make predictions and understand things like propensity to buy, performance boosters, even a patient’s wellness trajectory.” While pioneering manufacturers first used digital twins decades ago, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) are spurring their use by mainstream enterprises today. With the vast processing power of HPC, diverse industries have applied digital twins to scale simulations, shorten development timeframes and derive tangible business results. Some of the growing vertical use cases include: “Initiatives such as digital manufacturing/industrial IoT aim to generate intelligence from volumes of data (from devices, equipment and controllers) beyond what we are used to in the enterprise,” said Mike Smart, senior analyst and operations officer, NelsonHall. With decades of driving innovation, the world’s largest companies trust DXC to deploy our enterprise technology stack to deliver new levels of performance, competitiveness and customer experiences.
