Abstract
Digital transformation has become essential for modern enterprises aiming to improve efficiency, scalability, and competitiveness. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cloud Computing provides a powerful foundation for building smart enterprises capable of data-driven decision-making and automation. However, many organizations lack a structured framework to guide this transformation. This paper proposes a comprehensive Digital Transformation Framework (DTF) that integrates AI capabilities with cloud-based infrastructure. The framework emphasizes scalability, security, data analytics, and intelligent automation. The study also discusses applications, challenges, and implementation strategies. The proposed model supports organizations in achieving sustainable digital growth and improved operational performance.
