FreeIn this book, visionary Silicon Valley entrepreneur Tom Siebel presents a penetrating examination of the new technologies that are disrupting business and government—and how organisations can harness them to transform into digital enterprises.
The confluence of four technologies—elastic cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things—writes Siebel, is fundamentally changing how business and government will operate in the 21st century.
Siebel masterfully guides readers through a fascinating discussion of the game-changing technologies driving digital transformation and provides a roadmap to seize them as a strategic opportunity. He shows how leading enterprises such as Enel, 3M, Royal Dutch Shell, the U.S. Department of Defence, and others are applying AI and IoT with stunning results.
Digital Transformation: Survive and Thrive in an Era of Mass Extinction (Rosetta Books, Simon & Schuster) is the guidebook every business and government leader needs to survive and thrive in the new digital age.
Thomas M. Siebel is CEO of C3.ai, a leading provider of enterprise artificial intelligence software. A globally renowned leader in information technology, he has been at the forefront of several major innovation cycles, including relational databases, enterprise application software, Internet computing, AI, and the Internet of things. He pioneered the customer relationship management (CRM) category with the founding of Siebel Systems. Recognised by Businessweek as one of the top 25 managers in global business, Thomas Siebel is a three-time recipient of the EY Entrepreneur of the Year award and was named a Glassdoor Top CEO in 2018. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2013.
