Digital transformation: How AI, edge computing, and hyper-automation are reshaping global business

AI leads the transformation across marketing and operations.

AI is revolutionizing marketing strategies.

AI-powered marketing is seeing massive adoption among leading brands. Delta Air Lines, for instance, credited over $30 million in incremental sales to its AI-optimized Olympic sponsorship campaign. The airline analyzed customer data using machine learning to tailor ads and optimize real-time placements.

Unilever is leveraging generative AI tools to create product visuals and campaign assets within minutes—a process that used to take days. Esi Eggleston Bracey, Chief Growth and Marketing Officer at Unilever, stated:

"We've transformed what was once a complex, slow process into a marketing system that frees up our teams to focus on what they do best – think bigger, be creative, push boundaries and create magic for our brands."

AI integration is now an investor imperative.


KPMG's 2025 tech report found that 90% of investors expect portfolio companies to adopt AI responsibly but aggressively. This shift drives AI integration across operations, from customer service chatbots to predictive analytics for supply chain optimization.

Edge computing drives real-time intelligence.

Businesses shift from cloud to edge for speed and autonomy.

As real-time data becomes critical, edge computing enables organizations to move processing closer to where data is generated. This reduces latency and responsiveness, especially for manufacturing, retail, and healthcare industries.

Retailers instantly use edge devices to process video analytics for loss prevention and store optimization. In healthcare, remote monitoring systems now analyze patient data locally to trigger immediate alerts for care teams—improving outcomes while reducing bandwidth needs.

Hyperautomation streamlines complex business workflows.

RPA and AI drive seamless digital workflows

Hyperautomation combines robotic process automation (RPA), AI, and process mining to create intelligent, self-optimizing workflows. Companies increasingly automate repetitive tasks and complex decisions such as invoice processing, employee onboarding, and IT support.

For example, a healthcare organization utilized hyper-automation to streamline patient record management and billing processes. By integrating document scanning with RPA and AI-driven analytics, the provider enhanced operational efficiency, processing a higher volume of claims daily while significantly reducing manual errors, such as Bits and Bytes.

Operational agility and cost savings are key drivers.

Organizations adopting Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) can reduce manual data processing time by up to 40% and operational costs by up to 30%. This approach improved compliance with regulations such as HIPAA and generated substantial cost savings, all while boosting overall service quality and patient satisfaction. Bits and Bytes.

AI search and SEO: new rules for digital visibility

The rise of AI-driven search is redefining SEO.

With 80% of users now interacting with AI-generated content during their searches, traditional SEO strategies are becoming obsolete. Chatbots and generative search tools like Google's AI Overviews pull content directly into responses—often without clicking through to websites.

To adapt, brands invest in AI search optimization tools that ensure their content is accurately represented in AI responses. According to the Financial Times, major brands are "chasing the algorithm" to maintain digital relevance.

Sustainability and AI go hand in hand.

AI-powered sustainability solutions are scaling.

Digital transformation is also fueling sustainability efforts. Companies like Patagonia use AI to track and optimize supply chain emissions, reduce waste, and forecast demand more accurately.

Data-driven tools are also helping businesses meet ESG (environmental, social, and governance) goals by modelling ecological impacts and identifying areas for improvement in real-time.


The bottom line: transformation is no longer optional

Digital transformation in 2025 is about more than technology—it's about strategic adaptation. Businesses integrating AI, edge computing, and automation are now positioning themselves for long-term growth, resilience, and market leadership.
