ssignment $1$ is an evaluative exercise that asks that you perform an analysis of $5$ companies' experiences with digital transformation. You will research and identify three different technologies $($total$,$ not three different for each$)$ that each company has successfully implemented that have helped to improve the value of their product$($s$),$ and then you will summarize your overall findings. Keep in mind that this sort of exercise is utilized in business $($especially IT$)$ as a way to benchmark company practices against others in the industry, and to utilize best practices or course$-$correct where and when necessary.

Create a matrix with the $5$ companies and the three technologies they have implemented. Below the matrix, in $3-4$ paragraphs, summarize your findings and explain whether each company$$s technologies are sustainable. Also, discuss any commonalities between the companies as well as any other observations among them that would attribute to their success.
