Digital Transformation

Companies continue to drive forward on transforming their operations to compete in ever-changing markets. The value of end-to-end digital delivery has only grown as AI and other analytic tools increase the value of data. The increasing value of data has spurred digital transformation not only for purposes of speed and cost efficiency, but also for purposes of profiting from “big data” insights. At the same time, regulatory and talent constraints have intensified, increasing the value of working with partners.
