The technology pillar and the transactional pillar must work seamlessly together to provide for an efficient and effective capability for people to perform their jobs. The transactional pillar also requires a continual modernization as the rate of innovation is rapidly increasing.The transformation pillar may be the most critical pillar for organizations in the future. While it depends heavily on effective technology and transaction capabilities, it is generic to any specific technologies or applications. The transformation pillar includes artificial intelligence, machine learning, data visualizations, and other advanced services that provide deep meaningful insights into the current state of an organization as well as predictions into future states and advanced modeling capabilities. From the video example, this was the ability to search within video's, utilize facial recognition, and realize what music we like to create a meaningful product. The transformational pillar is the biggest shift for organizations from caretakers of applications and infrastructure to meaningful contributors to organization goals and objectives. These insights provide views for an organization that allow for an immediate measurement of policy changes or other business decisions.Another example in Saint Paul was a solution implemented to assist with resident notifications for Snow Emergencies. Several times per year when the weather is extreme, Saint Paul declares a Snow Emergency. As a fleet of city operated snow plows clear roads, certain parking restrictions are in place to provide for an efficient and expedited ability to react to the weather. An unfortunate consequence of the snow emergencies and resulting parking restrictions is that many cars receive citations for parking incorrectly and are towed. The technologies leveraged are GIS, GPS, electronic ticketing, web sites, and mobile applications. All transactions are captured to make sure that as much data is available related to snow emergencies. Providing equitable services and understanding outcomes must be a lens that all city operations are viewed through. This should be a real-time lens that is applied to everything a city does. From a transformational perspective, we map all ticketed and towed cars across the city leveraging GIS tools to ensure that impacts on neighborhoods are clearly understood. A mobile application was developed with multi-lingual support to alert residents if the area where they are parked currently has snow emergency parking restrictions. The colors on streets change as the parking restrictions are implemented. During the first snow emergency with the mobile application in place, Saint Paul towed over 30 percent less cars.The above example is one of many that clearly demonstrates the benefits of understanding the intersection between technology, transactions, and transformation. As the rate of innovation continues to accelerate, information technology organizations must continue to evaluate all three pillars to provide effective solutions. Intelligent and mindful use of artificial intelligence and machine learning coupled with data visualization capabilities form the backbone of critical business intelligence capabilities that will transform the vast information available within an organizations digital estate into actionable and valuable insights that are both current as well as predictive. We are incredibly excited about the contribution for insuring better outcomes for people through the smart use of technology. With the use of artificial intelligence, facial recognition, and intelligent editing, a video was created. It was a power example of the intersection between technology, transactions, and transformation
