Avasant To Co-Chair Digital Convergence Conference In New York City

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) SEPTEMBER 17, 2018

Avasant is proud to be a content partner and conference co-chair for The Outsourcing Institute (OI) for the Digital Convergence Conference, Thriving in the Digital Age: Leveraging the Power of Digital Transformation, to be held on September 19 at 300 Madison Avenue, New York, NY. The co-chairs for the event are Anupam Govil, Partner at Avasant, and Gregory North, President at Globe North, and Avasant fellow. Keynotes will be presented by GE, NBCUniversal, NTT DATA, IBM Cloud and Wipro.

The Digital Convergence Conference will bring together senior buy-side executives, influencers, business, and thought leaders to learn, connect and pave the way for true digital transformation. Conference attendees will hear from industry experts, get first-hand information about the latest case studies, and benefit from powerful learning and networking opportunities centered around digital convergence.

“Digital transformation is driving a 10x change across every industry and enterprises today need the speed and agility to personalize their services, be more customer-centric and launch new products more rapidly, leveraging technologies to drive new efficiencies and decision-making capabilities across the enterprise,” said Anupam Govil, Partner at Avasant. “As the focus shifts from cost savings to creating more value for business, customers, and employees, the nature of relationships between enterprises and their digital technology partners will move from contract terms and SLAs to one of collaboration and co-innovation.”

Anupam will moderate the panel, “Digital Transformation: Success Strategies & Common Pitfalls”, where panelists will include Mark Etwaru, Digital Transformation, Estee Lauder; Michael Hoffman, Innovation and Growth Strategy, BNY Mellon Technology; and Deepak Luthra, Head of Digital Center of Excellence, Bristol-Myers Squibb. Later in the conference, Anupam, alongside Sowmya Gottipati, Vice President, Media Labs at NBCUniversal, and Kenneth Corriveau, CIO & SVP at OmniCom will delve into “Hyper-Convergence and the Path to Digital Singularity”.

Carlos Hernandez, Partner at Avasant and Global Digital Transformation Leader, will also be present as a moderator for the panel, “Industry Business Impact: How Blockchain Will One Day Revolutionize Every Business”.

“We realized just over two years ago now that too many enterprises were stuck in the legacy world and not ready for the digital age,” said Daniel Goodstein, President of Media & Events for The Outsourcing Institute, and the producer of the Digital Convergence Conference. “With the advancement and convergence of emerging technologies such as blockchain, AI, cloud, analytics, mobile, automation & IoT, and new business models rapidly disrupting the old, we wanted to change the outsourcing conversation from one of offshoring work and labor arbitrage, to more of outsourcing your digital enterprise transformation work to trusted business partners who can help glue all the moving pieces together and eliminate the separate siloes that are common in so many organizations and stymie transformation.”
