PART – III, A Novel approach to IR4.0 and Digital Transformation with combined theory and practical experience.
This part of the “Digital Technology & Transformation course”, is part III (Architecting & Designing Digital Transformation projects & Systems”, which is the technical and design part, intended for IT professional, engineers and technical managers, who want to know more about the technical, design, engineering and technology aspects of Digital Technology, solutions and projects. It follows parts I & II, which covered; introduction to this technology & projects, and covered its applications in over twelve sectors. This part shall help participants in understanding the underlying technology, design methods, challenges, architecting, integration requirements and techniques of such complex and advanced solutions. It covers over thirteen lessons, each ends by a quiz. This part also explains the difference between the “engineering” way vs “IT” way in designing and delivering these projects and the characteristics, pros and cons of each. It also discusses; design optimization, QA/QC issues, testing and site works. At the end, it gives brief explanation of real Digital Transformation projects and examples, which were done or led by the instructor in different sectors.
