Key trends highlighted by Kumar and the other judges
include:

other elements of the hyper-automation fabric are becoming
increasingly common.
- Generative AI (Gen AI) is quickly moving from the
proof-of-concept stage to the adoption stage, evidenced by its use
by numerous 2024 Digital Award winners.

automation solutions using a modular architecture that can be used
in multiple use cases – “almost like LEGO blocks” – Kumar
said.
- Digitalization is accelerating. “The speed and agility with
which these solutions are being developed continues to impress us.
We believe this is the beginning of the exponential growth phase,”
Kumar said.
