HfS Webinar Slides: Becoming an Intelligent OneOfficeHfS Research
The rise of the As-a-Service Economy is rapidly evolving and emerging solutions, such as Automation, Analytics and Digital technologies are providing a catalyst for enterprises to adopt intelligent and adaptive operating models in a radically different way.
Coupled with a customer-first approach, organizations need to rethink and redesign operating models to support this convergence toward intelligent operations.
In this webinar, experts from HfS Research, Cognizant, Warner Bros., and CoreLogic discussed the impact of aligning back, middle and front office approaches – resulting in new operating models that are increasingly “born digital,” data rich, and outcome-based, in support of the business to which the strategies align.
Wach this webinar replay and learn:
How end-to-end processes need to bring together customer experience with operational agility
Understanding the disjoint between upper management “vision” and middle managers’ trepidation with “how to get there”
How an outside-In approach can drive a “middle office first” strategy to fix the digital/operations divide.

Digital disruption is no longer new – some industries have already been shaken up by evolving digital business models, while others are in the throes of being impacted. This is the new normal for enterprises, and we need to develop actionable strategies to survive and compete in this post-digital world.
In 2017, it’s all about enterprises being digitally capable of engaging their customers in real time using immersive communication channels, supported by intelligent unified operations that can enable their business to pivot to remain competitive.
The HfS 2017 research theme is all about “making it real”. We will explore the experiences, dynamics, intentions, challenges and opportunities of thousands of enterprises in their quest to align their operations to meet the rapidly changing needs of their clients.
In this webinar, the HfS analyst team will share our 2017 vision for the industry and our plans for the 2017 HfS research agenda.
Hear about our plans for 2017 research across the following areas:

We have seen the latest wave of change agents combine into the “digital” phenomenon, manifesting in a jumble of technology change and business drivers. Enterprises are being forced - more so than ever -to become increasingly customer-centric as they must respond to progressively complex online demands. This is driving investment in new technologies such as IoT, and analytics, and new ways of consuming, technology, and business process services – with software platforms encroaching on classic operational services.
Attend and learn:
- Changes to organizational operating and service delivery models
- The investments and directives driving operational change
- The use of shared services, outsourcing, global business services, and the impact of automation and offshoring on these service delivery models

The Digital OneOffice Framework is all about the design and implementation of the organizational digital experience and the creation of an intelligent, single office to execute and support it. At HfS, our research shows that smart Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions can help break down the barriers between front and back offices to align the needs of the customer with the operations of an organization to service those needs effectively and proactively.
Artificial Intelligence is many things: It is hyped, it is not defined, it is starting to become pervasive, and it is fostering emotional, passionate and at times heated discussions. However, many of those discussions are more focused on either generic or more consumer-facing issues while the broader market is not yet recognizing the impact of AI on B2B and Enterprise segments. Given the blurred perception and the lack of clarity, HfS is aiming to take stock how AI is starting to transform service delivery. With that mind, the research is less about technology aspects rather than understanding the use cases and the way AI could transform organizations journey toward the OneOffice.
Attend and learn:
How is AI transforming service delivery?
What are the AI capabilities and use cases that service providers have built out?
Which are the leading AI technologies and approaches that we are seeing?
How do deployments get to scale?

Optimizing operations through Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and machine learning present significant promise for global enterprises, particularly as they look to unlock value from decades-old operating models and relationships (BPO and/or shared services) for success in the Digital future.
However, success stories of automation at scale (at least those publicly reported) are limited; while the Banking, Financial Services and Insurance industries seem to be leading the way, many organizations are grappling with how to get an effective strategy and operating model in place. They struggle with myriad tool choices and struggle to understand robotic vs. machine learning vs. cognitive approaches to automation.
Experts from HfS Research, Hexaware, and HSBC will discuss the results from a global study of the state of practice in automation conducted across several enterprises in varying stages of automation adoption.
Attend and learn:
- Where are global enterprises in their automation journey today?
- Implementing automation at scale - key insights and best practices
- What to consider for automation strategy and tools; especially as it pertains to RPA and beyond
- Operating models that global enterprises are adopting or considering

The Advent of R-BPO: Is the Future of BPO Robotic?HfS Research
The BPO market is being rocked by the onslaught of Robotic Process Automation and Cognitive Intelligence. The future of this $322 billion industry could become distinctly robotic, as software agents are able to replicate (and improve on) the labor arbitrage model, while also delivering higher accuracy and lower risk.
Will today’s current cast of BPO providers be able to survive the transition, and will their clients hang around long enough? Or will Robotic-BPO become the new normal for business services engagements?
In this webinar, we will explore how R-BPO, unburdened by legacy contracts and surplus FTEs, is set to become the new business model for outsourced business services.
HfS experts, along with executives from Symphony Ventures and ADP, will discuss the incredible opportunities and array of options open to enterprises today, as they navigate the multitude of options open to them.
Participants will be better positioned to understand:
- The rationale for bringing automation in house vs. implementing with BPO service providers
- The opportunity to leverage the emerging R-BPO suppliers, rather than renewing with legacy providers
- The potential of combining RPA, AI and human experts in delivering “As a Service” solutions
- What the future will look like as “Digitally Native” businesses emerge and many traditional legacy enterprises struggle to transform their legacy operating models and IT infrastructures
HfS Webinar: What’s Real about Design Thinking in Business Operations and Out...HfS Research

Watch the webinar replay: http://www.hfsresearch.com/webinars/hfs-webinar-Checking-In-On-Design-Thinking-Services-Outsourcing
Register for upcoming HfS Webinars: http://www.hfsresearch.com/webinars/
In business operations, global shared services, and outsourcing, the mantra has been: centralize, standardize, industrialize, globalize. Traditional shared services and outsourcing contracts have been developed to focus on “lift and shift” and how to make processes increasingly more efficient and effective, measured by service level agreements. But expectations for services are changing--it’s about more than cost reduction and efficiency.
What happens when the SLAs are green yet customer or stakeholder satisfaction is level, stale, or down? … When you feel that “innovation” is lacking? … That the world is shifting to become faster, more flexible, and in-touch—but your business delivery isn’t and you just don’t have the time to think about it?
In this webinar HfS Research shares key findings and insights from our research, discuss the use and impact of Design Thinking - and Execution - in services engagements for business operations, and share examples.
Key discussion points:
- The relevance of Design Thinking to business operations and outsourcing engagements
- How service providers are integrating Design Thinking principles and practice methods of working internally and with clients
- Recommendations for how service buyers and service providers can use Design Thinking to drive innovation
- Open Q&A about Design Thinking, the Transition to Execution, and Design-Led Culture in Services companies

A digital organization has the ability to take all the cool social, mobile and interactive tech we use in our personal lives and create that experience for all the people in its environment: its employees, customers, and partners.
The Digital OneOffice™ Framework is all about creating the digital customer experience and an intelligent, single office to enable and support it. In a few months, we won’t be talking nearly as much about intelligent automation and digital technology as the critical “value levers” for operations, as they become an embedded part of the fabric of the future operations platform for new generation organizations. Instead, we will be talking about an integrated support operation having the digital prowess to enable its organization to meet customer demand - as and when that demand happens.
Everything about the digital organization is about engaging people by responding to their needs instantaneously, giving people their choice of medium to interact with it, be it voice, chat box, text, Facebook messenger, email, virtual agent, etc.
The OneOffice™ Framework is wrapped around the needs of the people in its environment, where automation is completely native and decisions can be made on predicting events, not merely reacting to historical data archives.
Speakers:
- Phil Fersht, CEO and Chief Analyst
- Melissa O'Brien, Research Director for Contact Center and Omnichannel Operations and BPO
We’ll discuss the following:
- Why the Digital OneOffice™ Framework is the Future of Outsourcing
- How the new generation of enterprises are leveraging digital technologies to link the customer experience with the supporting operations
- New dynamics we’re seeing in the market that point to a Digital OneOffice™ future, based on 450 enterprise interviews

The seminal annual study conducted by HfS Research and KPMG is complete and we're ready to reveal the pace of disruption and change the world's leading enterprises are experiencing.
The operating model for businesses needs to adapt more quickly than ever to the pace of the modern economy and appetite from C-Suite to pivot their business models. Global Business Services (GBS) needs to support the pace of change and innovation within organizations – firstly by not getting in the way, and secondly by providing a platform for operations that drives flexible business services, centralizes data and analysis, ensures security and embraces automation to improve efficiency.
During the webinar, our experts will discuss the following relevant topics:
- Changes to organizational operating and service delivery models – looking in particular at how global business services (GBS) and outsourcing needs to pivot from its internal service delivery focus to encompass the end-customer as a stakeholder of its services and drive widespread innovation.
- Investments and C-Suite directives driving operational change
- The impact of automation and AI on shared services, outsourcing and GBS
- Tackling the dual agendas of cost savings and innovation
- Addressing talent challenges

The Digital OneOffice Framework is all about the design and implementation of the organizational digital experience and the creation of an intelligent, single office to execute and support it. At HfS, our research shows that smart Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions can help break down the barriers between front and back offices to align the needs of the customer with the operations of an organization to service those needs effectively and proactively.
Artificial Intelligence is many things: It is hyped, it is not defined, it is starting to become pervasive, and it is fostering emotional, passionate and at times heated discussions. However, many of those discussions are more focused on either generic or more consumer-facing issues while the broader market is not yet recognizing the impact of AI on B2B and Enterprise segments. Given the blurred perception and the lack of clarity, HfS is aiming to take stock how AI is starting to transform service delivery. With that mind, the research is less about technology aspects rather than understanding the use cases and the way AI could transform organizations journey toward the OneOffice.
Attend and learn:
How is AI transforming service delivery?
What are the AI capabilities and use cases that service providers have built out?
Which are the leading AI technologies and approaches that we are seeing?

Optimizing operations through Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and machine learning present significant promise for global enterprises, particularly as they look to unlock value from decades-old operating models and relationships (BPO and/or shared services) for success in the Digital future.
However, success stories of automation at scale (at least those publicly reported) are limited; while the Banking, Financial Services and Insurance industries seem to be leading the way, many organizations are grappling with how to get an effective strategy and operating model in place. They struggle with myriad tool choices and struggle to understand robotic vs. machine learning vs. cognitive approaches to automation.
Experts from HfS Research, Hexaware, and HSBC will discuss the results from a global study of the state of practice in automation conducted across several enterprises in varying stages of automation adoption.
Attend and learn:
- Where are global enterprises in their automation journey today?
- Implementing automation at scale - key insights and best practices
- What to consider for automation strategy and tools; especially as it pertains to RPA and beyond
- Operating models that global enterprises are adopting or considering

The Advent of R-BPO: Is the Future of BPO Robotic?HfS Research
The BPO market is being rocked by the onslaught of Robotic Process Automation and Cognitive Intelligence. The future of this $322 billion industry could become distinctly robotic, as software agents are able to replicate (and improve on) the labor arbitrage model, while also delivering higher accuracy and lower risk.
Will today’s current cast of BPO providers be able to survive the transition, and will their clients hang around long enough? Or will Robotic-BPO become the new normal for business services engagements?
In this webinar, we will explore how R-BPO, unburdened by legacy contracts and surplus FTEs, is set to become the new business model for outsourced business services.
HfS experts, along with executives from Symphony Ventures and ADP, will discuss the incredible opportunities and array of options open to enterprises today, as they navigate the multitude of options open to them.
Participants will be better positioned to understand:
- The rationale for bringing automation in house vs. implementing with BPO service providers
- The opportunity to leverage the emerging R-BPO suppliers, rather than renewing with legacy providers
- The potential of combining RPA, AI and human experts in delivering “As a Service” solutions
- What the future will look like as “Digitally Native” businesses emerge and many traditional legacy enterprises struggle to transform their legacy operating models and IT infrastructures

Register for upcoming HfS Webinars: http://www.hfsresearch.com/webinars/
In business operations, global shared services, and outsourcing, the mantra has been: centralize, standardize, industrialize, globalize. Traditional shared services and outsourcing contracts have been developed to focus on “lift and shift” and how to make processes increasingly more efficient and effective, measured by service level agreements. But expectations for services are changing--it’s about more than cost reduction and efficiency.
What happens when the SLAs are green yet customer or stakeholder satisfaction is level, stale, or down? … When you feel that “innovation” is lacking? … That the world is shifting to become faster, more flexible, and in-touch—but your business delivery isn’t and you just don’t have the time to think about it?
In this webinar HfS Research shares key findings and insights from our research, discuss the use and impact of Design Thinking - and Execution - in services engagements for business operations, and share examples.
Key discussion points:
- The relevance of Design Thinking to business operations and outsourcing engagements
- How service providers are integrating Design Thinking principles and practice methods of working internally and with clients
- Recommendations for how service buyers and service providers can use Design Thinking to drive innovation
- Open Q&A about Design Thinking, the Transition to Execution, and Design-Led Culture in Services companies

The Digital OneOffice™ Framework is all about creating the digital customer experience and an intelligent, single office to enable and support it. In a few months, we won’t be talking nearly as much about intelligent automation and digital technology as the critical “value levers” for operations, as they become an embedded part of the fabric of the future operations platform for new generation organizations. Instead, we will be talking about an integrated support operation having the digital prowess to enable its organization to meet customer demand - as and when that demand happens.
Everything about the digital organization is about engaging people by responding to their needs instantaneously, giving people their choice of medium to interact with it, be it voice, chat box, text, Facebook messenger, email, virtual agent, etc.
The OneOffice™ Framework is wrapped around the needs of the people in its environment, where automation is completely native and decisions can be made on predicting events, not merely reacting to historical data archives.
Speakers:
- Phil Fersht, CEO and Chief Analyst
- Melissa O'Brien, Research Director for Contact Center and Omnichannel Operations and BPO
We’ll discuss the following:
- Why the Digital OneOffice™ Framework is the Future of Outsourcing
- How the new generation of enterprises are leveraging digital technologies to link the customer experience with the supporting operations
- New dynamics we’re seeing in the market that point to a Digital OneOffice™ future, based on 450 enterprise interviews

The seminal annual study conducted by HfS Research and KPMG is complete and we're ready to reveal the pace of disruption and change the world's leading enterprises are experiencing.
The operating model for businesses needs to adapt more quickly than ever to the pace of the modern economy and appetite from C-Suite to pivot their business models. Global Business Services (GBS) needs to support the pace of change and innovation within organizations – firstly by not getting in the way, and secondly by providing a platform for operations that drives flexible business services, centralizes data and analysis, ensures security and embraces automation to improve efficiency.
During the webinar, our experts will discuss the following relevant topics:
- Changes to organizational operating and service delivery models – looking in particular at how global business services (GBS) and outsourcing needs to pivot from its internal service delivery focus to encompass the end-customer as a stakeholder of its services and drive widespread innovation.
- Investments and C-Suite directives driving operational change
- The impact of automation and AI on shared services, outsourcing and GBS
- Tackling the dual agendas of cost savings and innovation
- Addressing talent challenges

Tired of the endless hype marketing, the expensively designed conference booths, the mind-numbing articles about robots stealing our jobs?
When you have a small number of, let's face it, small software firms sending such shockwaves through the global operations and outsourcing industry, it's no surprise we have so many of you scratching your heads wondering what is real versus fake news... wondering how "real" RPA is, versus all the claimed success and failure stories.
So let's tone down the rhetoric and reveal what is really happening in the industry. Based on new HfS State of Industry research of over 450 enterprise buyers, and our new HfS blueprints that will cover the leading RPA software platforms, we’ll give you a much needed reality check.

- What's been the impact of "Free RPA" - is it disrupting the market?
- What can we expect next, with all the political unpredictability, outsourcing turmoil and general cloud of confusion surround our industry?

Today’s B2B buyers’ expectations are rapidly evolving. Buyers are now looking for an engaging, seamless and consistent experience across all of their experiences with an enterprise, regardless of the stage of the buying journey. But, B2B sellers still struggle to meet these expectations, often focusing on isolated touch points with disconnected technology investments that inhibit the ability to understand and consistently engage with their customers from initial acquisition through advocacy.
Forrester’s Andy Hoar will present the industry’s first look at just-completed research on B2B buyer expectations for digital engagement - and the gap between these expectations and what B2B Sellers can offer. Learn what customers expect across each touch point, what is most vital to them today, and their top concerns for the future. Gain insights to help you meet both current and emerging B2B customer expectations.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

This SWOT analysis examines BYD's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats as it competes in the fast-changing automotive and energy storage industries.

Currently there are no website or exchange that allow buying or selling of pi coins..
But you can still easily sell pi coins, by reselling it to exchanges/crypto whales interested in holding thousands of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
Who is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell to these crypto whales and holders of pi..
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners and pi merchants stands in between the miners and the exchanges.
How can I sell my pi coins?
Selling pi coins is really easy, but first you need to migrate to mainnet wallet before you can do that. I will leave the what'sapp contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.

Is Finance Finally Ready To Write Off Legacy And Move To BPaaS? | 1
IS FINANCE FINALLY READY TO
WRITE OFF LEGACY AND MOVE
TO BPAAS?
Authors:
Reetika Joshi, Research Director, HfS Research
Barbra Sheridan McGann, EVP, Business Operations Research, HfS Research
May 2016
Grappling with change has always been hard for the finance function and “legacy” has plagued finance and
accounting operations for many years now. Major enterprises have started to realize the potential for step change
in operational performance with the advent of digital technologies. In the past, the watchwords for financial
processes were “operationally stable and efficient.” However, today’s ambitious enterprises look to high value
services and real-time, actionable data that is readily accessible in the emerging As-a-Service Economy.
Our research shows that major enterprises’ F&A operations are delivered using a hybrid network of distributed
internal business units, shared services and outsourcing centers. This diversified spread of global operations took
shape over the last two decades, in many enterprises, in a bid to contain labor costs, centralize delivery staff and
create standard processes and greater controls. So, while the operational engine has seemingly been assembled to
hum along smoothly, the reality, today, is that the engine is clunky and broken, leading enterprise F&A leaders to
want “something different.” Exhibit 1, from HfS Research’s recent survey of 160 global F&A leaders, captures the
current state—F&A leaders are largely underwhelmed, with only 9% being Very Satisfied with the operational
performance of F&A processes as of today.
