Companies are searching for ways to cut costs while at the same time grow capabilities and efficiencies that are core to their future effectiveness.
Historically, Digital and Information Technology has been viewed as a cost center for most companies, one of the first areas where cost cutting would occur, due partially to the enormous complexity that was created within the Digital Business & Technology organization over the years. Moving forward, as organizations have been forced to cut costs and look strategically at where the company is going, Digital Business & Technology has the opportunity to take a strategic role as an enabler of future business success.
