THE DX JOURNEY “ At Microsoft , we take a very customer-driven and mission-centric approach to everything we do . This is not a one-size-fits-all digital transformation journey . So , we see three horizons for defence and intelligence . First is the foundational transformation , where we are helping our customers modernise the defence workplace , facilities , and installations . Data is a critical asset , so we help our customers understand where all of their data lives and map out their data estates . Migrating unclassified data and workloads to the cloud is a great first step . Then we help them work out how to harness and fuse that data and put it to work for them .
“ The second horizon is about expanding on that transformation and helping our customers become even more datadriven and agile . We help our customers migrate qualified , sensitive data estates to the cloud . We help them take advantage of digital engineering tools and methods , ubiquitous computing , and AI to draw out insights , optimize their operations , and enable a common operational picture across domains , all the way to the tactical edge .
“ And the third horizon is about unlocking all of the advanced capabilities that you can bring to bear once you have gone truly digital – enabling our customers
