Bridging the Strategy-to-Execution Gap to Digitize Your Business

IBM has been successful in helping companies automate key processes for many years which have been instrumental in realizing efficiencies in all size companies. Now, digital transformation is driving automation projects with the goal of enhancing the customer experience for these same companies. IBM is at the forefront of these efforts with a powerful platform of functionality to realize this goal. But as with all initiatives, the automation project activity must be tied to the digital strategy of the business. In partnership with iGrafx, IBM is bridging that gap of strategy to execution. Michael will discuss this vision and share some of his many experiences as a longtime thought leader in the BPM market.
