Analytics Scalability
Presentation:
More than ever, manufacturers must quickly adapt and respond as markets, technologies, ecosystems, and competitors change. To do so, they have dialed up their efforts about how to leverage the vast amounts of data at their disposal to help address their business challenges in new, innovative ways. Yet, many companies greatly struggle to understand, pilot, and then scale digital solutions. At a time when organizations are emphasizing digital transformation execution and scalability, what factors separate those who succeed from those who struggle?
Topics discussed will include identifying and prioritizing projects, justifying a return on investment, investing effectively, and working with solution providers.
