This study explores the integration of cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and 5G technologies to build resilient digital operations and enhance customer engagement. Through a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative case studies, the research examines how these technologies synergize to drive organizational agility, operational resilience, and personalized customer experiences. Data was collected from 500 professionals across industries, including retail, healthcare, telecommunications, and finance, and analyzed using advanced statistical techniques such as regression analysis, structural equation modeling (SEM), and factor analysis. The results reveal strong positive correlations between cloud integration, AI implementation, 5G adoption, customer engagement, and operational resilience. Cloud computing emerged as a foundational enabler of scalability and flexibility, while AI played a critical role in automating processes and delivering personalized insights. 5G adoption facilitated real-time connectivity, supporting applications such as augmented reality (AR) and the Internet of Things (IoT). Regression analysis highlighted the significant impact of these technologies, with cloud integration (β = 0.42) and AI implementation (β = 0.38) being the strongest predictors of customer engagement. Similarly, AI (β = 0.40) and cloud (β = 0.35) were key drivers of operational resilience. Factor analysis identified cloud scalability, AI personalization, and 5G connectivity as critical latent constructs influencing outcomes. The findings underscore the importance of adopting a holistic approach to digital transformation, leveraging the synergies of cloud, AI, and 5G to build resilient and customer-centric operations. Practical implications include prioritizing investments in AI-driven personalization, accelerating 5G deployment, and addressing ethical and regulatory challenges. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on digital transformation and provides actionable insights for organizations seeking to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and data-driven world.
