This Computer Weekly feature explores how UBDS Digital is redefining digital transformation through a lifecycle-centric approach, moving beyond one-off projects to long-term partnerships that help organisations modernise continuously in a world of rapid technological change. The interview discusses why traditional transformation efforts often fall short and how a lifecycle perspective helps clients innovate consistently rather than repeatedly rebuilding every few years.Diptesh Patel, CEO at UBDS Digital, argues that the industry must shift from traditional digital transformation to a digital lifecycle partnership where value is realised over time, not just at the point of implementation. He explains that many transformation projects become outdated within a few years because they lack a framework for continuous improvement. By embracing lifecycle thinking, organisations can modernise infrastructure, integrate emerging technologies like AI and even prepare for future innovations such as quantum computing, all while maintaining strategic momentum rather than entering endless catch-up cycles.Patel emphasises that this ongoing innovation loop supported by dedicated roles like continuous improvement managers helps clients avoid the disruption and cost of repetitive, standalone projects and instead build adaptable, future-ready environments.Read more about Diptesh’s view and how the digital lifecycle model is shaping transformation strategies in the full article.
