The Digital Era has rapidly changed business dynamics and has forced organizations to continuously innovate at an unprecedented level to keep pace with the digital natives. The front office is coming together with middle office and back office – enabled through robust Digital Threads and underpinned by a connected edge, high-performance computing and Artificial Intelligence. However – in these tougher economic conditions access to large upfront capital investment dollars are hard to come but the business transformation needs have not subsided. In this session, the presenter will highlight how organizations need to structure Transformational Managed Services sourcing programs by embedding continuous transformation agendas within large traditional Managed Services engagements – and the best ways to engage with SIs and traditional Managed Services Providers to adapt their proposed delivery approaches and value propositions to meet the organizations’ “run the business” as well as “transform the business” needs.
