- Prolonged recession has impacted businesses, causing tight budgets and forcing leaders to leverage technology more efficiently at lower costs. IT consulting is emerging as a powerful model to rapidly implement customized solutions.
- The IT consulting market will see rapid growth, not in spite of macroeconomic issues but because of them, as companies optimize technology ROI. SaaS adoption will explode over the next five years.
- Consulting is becoming more prominent and is changing traditional business metrics, focusing on time-to-value and customer satisfaction over long-term contracts. Recommendations include demonstrating value to buyers and expanding service offerings.
Digital payments are becoming the norm as customers increasingly rely on digital services and conduct transactions online rather than with physical cards or cash. Key trends include the growth of peer-to-peer and business-to-business digital payments, tokenization standards, smart point-of-sale devices, and passive contactless payments. Payment providers face both opportunities and threats from new digital technologies and entrants, and must transform their organizations, technologies, and business models to keep up with rapidly changing customer expectations and remain competitive in the digital landscape.
The document discusses how customer contact is evolving from traditional in-person meetings to more affordable and convenient online and remote meetings. It presents the online meeting platform idiligo as a tool that allows advisors to meet with customers remotely in a professional manner while logging customer data. Idiligo enables step-by-step guidance and advice sharing through screen sharing and documents. It is promoted as an easy-to-use and controlled way for advisors to communicate with customers that improves conversions and customer satisfaction compared to traditional in-person or phone meetings.

ORBiT Annual Members' Meeting, Nov 11th 2014
ORBiT's Annual Members' Meeting is our industry learning, sharing and strategic planning event, focused on shaping the real time agenda for the coming year.
The document discusses a survey of business executives and CIOs about the changing role of IT. There is a growing gap between board expectations for strategic IT support and CIOs' focus on cost reduction and stability. While boards want innovation, CIOs are dealing with increased outsourcing complexity. To bridge this gap, the survey suggests CIOs focus on setting IT standards, sourcing services, and establishing innovation hubs. It also proposes restructuring IT organizations into smaller embedded units to better support independent business partners and staff.

The document discusses the emergence of digital firms. It defines a digital firm as one where digital networks enable relationships with customers, suppliers, and employees; core business processes are accomplished through digital means; and key assets are managed digitally. Examples are provided of how Toyota, UPS, and an insurance underwriter have transformed into digital firms by implementing digital technologies like design collaboration networks, package tracking systems, and redesigned digital work flows.
Connecting the Business - Unlocking digital transformation successEnsono
The document discusses the key findings of a survey on digital transformation. The top three drivers for digital transformation are reported to be cost savings, increasing profitability, and increasing productivity. While the CEO is believed to have the most influence, the success of digital transformation depends primarily on the IT department. Most organizations are measuring digital transformation projects but the metrics do not match the objectives. Legacy technology is also reported as a major barrier to digital transformation. For CIOs to be successful, they must act as ambassadors between IT and business departments and are in need of more time. Third parties can provide guidance to help CIOs overcome challenges to digital transformation.
Organizations today are discovering new realities around the cloud and data center, IT supply chain management, the modern workplace and digital transformation. For the 2019 Insight Intelligent Technnology™ Index, we surveyed 400 IT professionals to assess how they’re optimizing technology to unlock these growth opportunities. Explore the key takeaways.

Data City Showcase @ ODI Leeds April 16Paul Connell
This document discusses the problems with using Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes to define and track the digital sector. SIC codes often fail to accurately capture organizations operating in this changing sector. As a result, the number of businesses, employees, economic value, and needs of the digital sector are underrepresented using SIC codes. The document proposes using an alternative mapping methodology involving multiple data sources to better identify and analyze the 463 digital organizations in Leeds. It finds the digital sector, especially areas like IT and health, positions the region well for future opportunities but that a new collaborative approach is needed to develop strategies to promote growth.
This document discusses 5 trends that will impact businesses in 2020: 1) 5G mobility, 2) SD-WAN, 3) artificial intelligence, 4) Internet of Things, 5) communications platforms as a service. It provides examples of how each trend can benefit businesses and opportunities for partners to address these trends. The document also briefly mentions digital transformation, cybersecurity, and vertical markets that partners can target to help businesses with these changing technologies.

The document highlights the achievements of networks supported by URBACT and invites participants to a city festival in Lisbon to continue the exchange of ideas. It emphasizes that participants are part of the URBACT community and should keep driving change in cities.
Loop City Key Conclusions – Team TechTowntechplace
Medium sized cities can grow digital jobs through the smart city agenda in three main ways:
1) By driving demand for innovative smart city solutions and providing test beds for companies to trial new technologies in a real-world setting.
2) By facilitating collaboration between different stakeholders through multi-stakeholder planning and providing spaces for startups and corporations to innovate together.
3) By collecting and sharing open data, supporting digital education, and working with startups to develop new e-government services to serve as examples and disrupt traditional services.
Dubrovnik Key Conclusions - Team TechTowntechplace
This document discusses ways that medium-sized cities can grow digital jobs through smart city initiatives. It suggests that cities support local entrepreneurs in developing solutions to community challenges through hackathons. The document also recommends that cities provide follow up support to help solutions be piloted and implemented. Additionally, it advises cities to localize efforts, drive agendas through collaboration, openly share data, work with industry leaders, raise public awareness, lead by developing e-government services, and provide test beds to help startups initiate and grow.
Medium sized cities can grow, attract, retain and return tech talent by:
1) Providing places for digital workers to connect like co-working spaces and high-speed broadband.
2) Developing programs to attract local alumni back from larger cities and engage with the digital community to understand skills needs.
3) Partnering with local schools and universities to align education with the needs of digital companies and offer coding clubs and tech training events to students.
Spaces and Places - Team TechTown Conclusionstechplace
Medium sized cities can provide spaces and places for connections in the digital economy by cocreating spaces with the digital community that are tailored to the unique assets of the local area, rather than copying others. They should facilitate high quality collaborative leadership and access to public funding, while ensuring spaces have good business support services and reasons for people to visit. Locating support services in the spaces and exploring uses of existing public buildings can also help connect the digital community. The goal is to discover new opportunities by listening to customers and testing ideas.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.

Causes Supporting Charity for Elderly PeopleSERUDS INDIA

So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.
