Building a new world: Moving to the platform era
Author: Sonia Eland
Business platforms are nothing new. Steam power, the electricity grid and desktop computer operating systems have all created “ecosystems” of related businesses, products and services. But to compete in the digital era, it’s imperative for every business to understand what type of platform will serve it best, how its business model must change and how to make the transition.
Discover how businesses must re-imagine themselves in terms of the experiences they want to provide, rather than the specific transactions or products they want to sell.
With this information in mind, businesses can then look to transform their operations by understanding what type of platform should be deployed and which partners to engage to allow them to seamlessly provide the experience(s) to their audience.
As a next-generation IT services provider, DXC is committed to helping our customers on their digital journey. To do this we are increasing our capability around the major enterprise software platform technologies, in addition to integration capability to create new services platforms.
DXC is co-investing and co-engineering with our systems and technology partners, and building industry-specific platforms that ‘bake in’ the most important capabilities. We’re collaborating with other industry players differently too. We don’t see competitors anymore; we see a shifting array of partners. Clients want solutions and they want to take advantage of hybrid IT to improve their agility and responsiveness.
The platform era is here, because your customers are demanding it. And if you don’t want your organisation to be left behind, you’d better start building.
