1. Platforming enterprise
Google and othersvery suitable if not substantially improved replacements for what used to
be custom builds.
Another bonus. Moving to common platforms frees up talent and working capital for
differentiated services — where differentiation comes from the information you provide in
context to customers, partners and employees for new and better outcomes and
experiences.
This is about the technology you need, not the technology you mak emphasizes Dan Hushon, CTO of DXC Technology.
Common platforms enable companies to shift their customization efforts from infrastructure
to applications and the user experience, which is where the action is.
2. digital talent is vigorous and creative
These digital skills are incredibly scarce and demand is high. Companies will be fighting for
people with digital skills to make the transition to common platforms and to drive disruptive
change. So how can we get increased scale from a finite talent pool? And how do we
maximize the productivity of the talent we already have?
We’ll use common platforms and a concentrated partner strategy to source experienced talent.
In 2018, companies will leverage team-based, distributed workplace
platforms that use machine learning, intelligent automation, natural language processing and other technologies to drive productivity.
In addition, expect to see a rise in creative ways to access talent, described in Unleashing Digital Talent for Fun and Profit, by DXC Technology’s Leading Edge Forum:
- Crowdsourcing — tapping talent outside your company to engage just-in-time talent
- Bring your own teams (BYOT) iring entire teams at once
- Incubators — creating or sponsoring organizations or spaces that support startups
- Strategic acquihires — buying entire companies for their talent
Talent will decide who wins and loses in the next decade.
