Event overview:

Distributors are no longer defined by the inventory they carry. In the digital age, they’ll be defined by their ability to be innovative partners. New technologies such as enhanced cloud computing, AI, machine learning, and the internet of things (IoT) are disrupting the industry—allowing early adopters to better understand their customers, improve operations, and develop new services. At a time of significant global disruption and volatility, distributors must embrace these new technologies to stay relevant in this fast-changing environment.

This exclusive Tech Monitor webinar, in association with Infor, will explore how innovative distributors are harnessing the power of cloud technology to outpace their competition, drive profitability and improve operational resilience.

Key topics include:

  • What are key factors creating volatility for global distributors right now?
  • How is the relationship between wholesale distributors and the customers they serve evolving?
  • How is cloud technology enabling distributors to drive innovation and increase productivity?
  • Which technologies are distributors deploying to build resilience in their global supply chains?
  • How is cloud technology enabling wholesale distributors to optimize every facet of their operations—from sales, inventory
  • and warehouse management, financials and omni-channel engagement?
  • Is cloud really a silver bullet? Why are some distributors not deploying such technologies?
  • How can cloud adoption be effectively paired with business strategy?

Tech Monitor’s webinar in partnership with Hexaware Vast, Fast, And Relentless: Consumer Buying Enters A New Era. Available to view on-demand. 

The opportunity to engage customers digitally has never been greater —but so is the cost of failing to meet their expectations. Evolving technology and consumer expectations are changing how consumer-facing organisations across industries communicate with, engage and sell to consumers. Customer journeys are becoming increasingly hybrid, a mix of digital and physical experiences, making it more challenging but ever more necessary to pursue customer experience excellence.

 

During this exclusive Tech Monitor webinar, in partnership with Hexaware, Senior Forrester Analyst Michelle Beeson will share insights and research to illustrate changing consumer behaviors that will shape the future of retail, as well as the engagement strategies consumer-facing organisations are adopting to navigate this rapidly changing landscape.

 

An expert panel will then dissect the challenges businesses face in delivering superior customer experience excellence, why technology must be paired with strategy, and the tools innovative organisations are deploying to gain competitive edge.

 

Key topics:

  • How are customer needs, behaviours and expectations evolving? What trends are we seeing?
  • What engagement strategies are consumer-facing organisations adopting to navigate this rapidly changing landscape?
  • What does it take to deliver the next best experience to customers in an increasingly competitive and crowded environment?
  • What impact does this have on internal business alignment and processes?
  • How can more agile approaches to collaboration be implemented across the business to manage the end-to-end customer journey?
  • The importance of a customer centric approach when selecting new products, services and technologies

Event overview:

Few businesses would doubt that their data is a strategic asset and vital to the achievement of their aims. But most are confronted with an array of data sources, data management tools, and competing organisational objectives that complicate the matter of using data to create the maximum possible value.

Whether working in tax or accounting, logistics or marketing, the ability to automate processes and leverage data will continue to be rewarded with higher pay and opportunities.

To investigate how companies can use their data to create business value, Tech Monitor, in partnership with Alteryx, surveyed over 400 senior business executives with responsibility for technology, based in Northern Europe, to understand how they manage their data and analytics capabilities.

This webinar will convene a panel of senior executives and advisors to discuss the findings of the survey and analyse what differentiates “data leaders” from “data laggards” in an increasingly competitive landscape.

Key topics include:

  • Strategies for implementing an organisation-wide data strategy
  • How prioritise data and analytics projects methodically
  •  The importance of combining technical data expertise with business expertise
  • Empowering employees to analyse – how to equip operational staff with data and       analytics capabilities
  • The role of communication in developing a data culture
  • How do organisations go about implementing a data strategy in a quick and safe manner?

Tech Monitor and Sage Intacct are excited to present FSN The Modern Finance Forum’s “Future of Planning, Budgeting, Forecasting, and Reporting Global Survey 2022” results. With participation from 450 companies around the globe, the survey results highlight how organisations are developing their core financial processes by 2030.

 Join us in our upcoming webinar where Gary Simon, CEO of FSN and Leader of The Modern Finance Forum, will discuss the findings and share how:

•             Organisations are challenging the status quo and turning to technology to bolster their capabilities

•             Speed is of the essence as transformation projects are re-prioritized

•             Predictive analytics and AI will be the norm for 75% of organisations by 2030

The nation has a long history of low productivity. Labour productivity has stagnated since the last global financial crisis of 2009 and the record of the UK is now one of the worst in the OECD. This is despite some of our regions being among the most productive in the developed world, highlighting stark regional differences across the country: some estimates show that London’s productivity is about 30% higher than the UK average, and 50% more than that in Yorkshire and the East Midlands. How can we effectively tackle the skills gap to help boost regional productivity? What effective solutions are out there that can improve social mobility and help us build back from the pandemic? Can investing in green job opportunities boost recovery and help ensure a resilient, long-term economic growth? How can the UK reach its productivity potential?Join us on Tuesday, 1st November at QEII, Conference Centre Westminster in London to hear from policymakers and industry experts as they discuss the crucial role of skills in delivering the levelling up agenda and improving productivity in underperforming areas. From coordinating an effective skills strategy to boosting digital skills, they will explore how we can address discrepancies between UK regions and communities, and build a resilient economy for our future generations.
