The transition to IP in the media industry is the perfect use case to demonstrate the very essence of Digital Transformation. 
If you were to approach this transition like a one-off change, as companies typically always did and still do, then you’d find that your main goal is to transition your SDI signals to IP by simply rebuilding your core infrastructure accordingly. Limiting yourself to that goal might save you some time and money in the short run, but in the long run you risk major operational challenges when a new wave of change comes along.  

However, if you were to approach it like a Digital Transformation initiative, you’d have an extra goal: readying your operations for change and continuous evolution. This means that you’d focus more on everything that wraps around your new core infrastructure instead of the infrastructure itself. Your initial investments would be higher, but you’d also have a plethora of transformational tools at hand that will help you work way more efficiently in the long run.
