Digital transformation projects are prevalent across the globe. According to Statista, worldwide spending on digital transformation technologies and services is projected to reach $2.49 trillion in 2024 and $3.9 trillion by 2027.

In this article, we consider some of the pitfalls that lie in wait for the unwary.
