International Conference on Business, IT and Enterprise Architecture
ICBIT 2026
[Theme – Finance and Investment for Nation Building: A Digital Perspective]
27th and 28th February 2026 in online mode
Conference Background
Digital transformation is the reimaging of business with digital technology at its core serving both as an enabler and a strategic driver. Digitization profoundly impacts our society and economy and the way we live, work, learn, communicate, collaborate, and decide. New business opportunities are being created by leveraging the Internet and related digital technologies, such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, services computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, mobile platforms, and collaborative networks. Enterprises are transforming their strategy, culture, processes, and their information systems to become more digital. The digital transformation deeply disrupts existing enterprises and economies and sets the base for new digital services and digitized products.
Digitization fosters the development of IT environments with small and distributed structures, for instance, the Internet of Things. This has a strong impact on the process of architecting digital services and products, which includes both technological and business aspects. The change from a closed-world modelling perspective to more flexible open-world and living software and system architecture defines the moving context for adaptable, evolutionary, and resilient service-oriented software approaches, which are essential to enable the digital transformation of business, society, technologies, and information systems.
One of the largest digitalization initiatives in the world is Digital India, which aims to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. The NITI Aayog has set a target of US$ 3 Trillion by 2026 for the digital economy in India. Transformation of this scale and complexity needs to be orchestrated and architected. The role of enterprise architecture in making this happen cannot be overemphasized. In realizing the criticality, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has taken the lead to develop a national framework for enterprise architecture called the India Enterprise Architecture Framework.
In this fast-paced era, the organization leaders need to rely on innovation to understand customers and embrace disruptive information technologies. This requires a holistic thinking and a deep understanding of how all the seemingly disparate dimensions come together to provide sustained differentiation and competitive edge. Competing on processes and products is outdated. Organizations today, are creating digital platforms and building ecosystems anchored around such platforms. Platform-enabled ecosystems are making new business models possible and accelerating network effects by creating value and participation. The pace of digitalization in India has been exponentially increasing since 2010, especially after the demonetization phase. In HR, Marketing, Operations, and Finance, digitalization has had a remarkable impact. It helps the customer in providing goods & services on time. It helps businesses in getting competent by recruiting the right manpower, measuring the responsibility and accountability in the activity chain, increasing business revenue, leading brand promotion campaigns with better and wider visibility, forecast sales, understand customer’s lifetime value, price, competitor’s strategy, plant capacity upgradation, and layout designing. But digitization of businesses also faces challenges from various stakeholders. The pros and cons of the digitalization are debatable. However, by adapting ourselves to digitalization, if the world productivity increases with a sustainable model for development, the change is most welcome.
There is clearly a need for greater understanding of current and emerging trends, the opportunities that are being created constantly and the challenges faced in taking full advantage of such opportunities.
The corona pandemic has changed the business landscape considerably, further enhancing the scope of digitization. As more organizations are opting for ‘Work from Home’ for their employees, educational institutions are opting for online classes for their students. There is a significant change in the marketplace as well, as people’s movements are restricted. As a result, more and more people are opting for digital marketplaces and digital payment options.
The ICBIT 2026 conference will foster the multidisciplinary discussion about Digitalization, Finance & Investment and Business Management from both the scientific and practitioner perspectives, and its impact on current enterprises. Our goal is to inspire researchers to share theoretical and practical knowledge of different aspects related to Digitalization, Data Science, and Security, and Businesses.
