Inventive and sustainable IT propels tech business value in the age of techceleration, softwarization, and pervasive tech

Advances in technology are accelerating and simultaneously changing the way companies deliver services, interact with customers, and shape business models. IT is now an essential part of every value chain and business function, pushing us towards a new era of Inventive IT. This is the world of techceleration – where IT shifts from just managing technology to driving innovation and leading with a business-oriented management and delivery model.

Imagine a world where more of the added value for customers and consumers is realized through software – across all industries. This is the reality of softwarization. In this landscape, a striking 62 percent of organizations acknowledge that software grants them a distinct competitive edge.

Technology is increasingly driving all areas of business and becoming an indispensable force. We call this pervasive tech. This new world is characterized by speed and continuous change, where adaptation and transformation are not one-off tasks, but continuous and systematic processes.

What is inventive and sustainable IT transformation?

Inventive sustainable IT is a business-led and IT-driven end-to-end transformation that powers business value and enables innovation, data-driven insights, reimagined customer experience, and improved sustainability at speed and scale.

By transforming your strategy and vision, digital operations, and technology landscape through our approach to inventive IT transformation, you can achieve the highest business value while ensuring cost leadership with enough room for innovation. Thus, game-changing business results, from innovative new products and reduced time to market to increased customer engagement, are enabled while ensuring a positive working experience.

“Being “good” is not good enough anymore! IT today must be the enabler of change and driver of innovation. It’s time to accelerate your IT digital revolution with inventive and sustainable IT!”
