Why Choosing a Strategic Partner Is Your Best Bet for Digital Transformation Success

Digital technology is eating the traditional business model, forcing organizations of all kinds to reshape their value propositions and operating models to maintain a competitive advantage over others. To adapt to this change, digital transformation is quickly becoming a key focus area for enterprise businesses.

Digital transformation enables organizations to adapt to new technologies faster to improve customer experience and establish competitive edge.  Digital transformation success depends on an enterprise’s ability to implement and integrate digital channels into their ecosystem. It involves not just the right technology, but also the right people, processes, and engagement. To drive digital transformation, a diverse set of roles — creative specialists, enterprise architects, software engineers, analysts, operational excellence experts — are involved. Developing the necessary expertise in-house or attracting such diverse recruits is a hard thing to do. When you factor in the budget constraints of a CIO, it becomes even more difficult. This is where a strategic partner can help; it can fill the gaps required to drive your digital transformation initiatives. A trusted partner will also guide you through the complex product vendor landscape while helping you make the informed decision about the right products and tools.  Majority of B2C companies prefer to use a third-party solution provider for digital transformation consulting and implementation rather than building technical capabilities in-house. Working hand in hand with the right partner can help you implement a digital transformation strategy at a faster rate and lower cost. It also gives you a competitive edge by providing: Expertise: Trained business and IT teams to advise on disruptive technologies and provide a digital transformation road-mapBest Practices: Agile development and DevOps approach for agility and innovation; which often result in a competitive advantageProof of Concept: Demos and case studies to start your transformational journey confidentlyFlexibility: Experience to manage both your traditional IT environment and cloud infrastructureFaster Time-to-Market: A robust planning & execution strategy and the necessary technology building blocks to speed up the implementation processBest-of-breed Solutions: Close partnerships with technology vendors who are disrupting the digital transformation spaceNew Technology Capabilities: New channel enablement with mobile, social interactions, and big data analyticsCost Reduction Opportunity: Leverage open source for digital transformation to reduce TCO
