Day 1 - IDC Live Opening Keynote: Flattening the Curve

Sandra Ng
Group Vice President, Practice Group, IDC Asia/Pacific

We’ve all heard this term in use when we are speaking about reducing the number of coronavirus infections at any given time. But how does “flattening the curve” relate to organisations in the face of an impending recession? How can technology be leveraged to accelerate growth, and hasten the return to growth, while preparing us for the next normal?

Sessions

10:20am - 10:40am

Day 1 - Building Digital Relationships with Communications

Dave Esber
Senior Product Marketing Manager, Twilio

Trust, empathy, and communication are often viewed as essential to our personal relationships, but all are hard to come by in the digital world – and especially between consumers and businesses. As we all navigate new ways of doing business, we’ll explore the gaps businesses face when trying to engage their customers, and strategies for building meaningful digital relationships that drive customer loyalty.

10:45am - 11:05am

Day 1 - Digital Transformation in 2020—How Teams Can Change The Game The Open Source Way

Sergiu Bodiu
APAC Transformation Office, Principal Transformation Specialist, Red Hat

Companies are changing the game based on their ways of working, focusing on changing processes and the future of their organizations. Building an adaptive enterprise to hyper-personalize customer experience. Customers are changing too, particularly as our world increasingly relies on digital interaction. Traditional IT systems and processes are failing to keep pace with the accelerating operating cycle times of modern customer engagement. Expectations of service standards and customer experience are rising exponentially. Successful digital transformation is not just about changing technology, it’s also about changing the way organizations work together.

Day 1 - Shaping the Technology that Shaped Us

While technology has been at the forefront of every digital transformation story, the role of the user and their accceptace is often forgotten. Enterprise technology adoption continues to be a central discussion topic corporations are increasing their investments, turning towards digital technology as a source of competitive advantage. While digital transformation stories painting a picture of technology successfully transforming organisations and boosting revenue continued to fuel the growth of the industry, only 10% of the true potential of technology is being used and adopted by people. Have organisations really experienced true success? Or is it just the glamorization of technology that is helping businesses cope with the modern world, but not truly to be in the forefront of innovation?

Day 1 - Resilience with Financial Readiness - Rising to the Challenges of Uncertainty

Amit Verma
SAP

Navigating uncertainty requires a coherent strategy. A strategy that will minimize the impact of economic disruption, while maintaining business continuity for the rapidly expanding remote workforce. A strategy that uses technology to ensure that security and access governance for all critical systems are in place to optimize flexible workforce. On the financial side, such a strategy will allow you to keep an eye on foreign exchange markets, limiting exposure and finding opportunities as currency fluctuates. It’s agile enough to revise financial assets quickly and ensure cash availability. It protects against increased credit risks and helps you continue to process receivables with speed and efficiency. And a good strategy enables efficient collaboration – and ensures compliance – across all entities. Do you have a strategy, that can safeguard your finances and allow you to emerge on solid ground, in place?

Day 3 - Shaping the Technology that Shaped Us

While technology has been at the forefront of every digital transformation story, the role of the user and their accceptace is often forgotten. Enterprise technology adoption continues to be a central discussion topic corporations are increasing their investments, turning towards digital technology as a source of competitive advantage. While digital transformation stories painting a picture of technology successfully transforming organisations and boosting revenue continued to fuel the growth of the industry, only 10% of the true potential of technology is being used and adopted by people. Have organisations really experienced true success? Or is it just the glamorization of technology that is helping businesses cope with the modern world, but not truly to be in the forefront of innovation?

Day 3 - Resilience with Financial Readiness - Rising to the Challenges of Uncertainty

Amit Verma
SAP

Navigating uncertainty requires a coherent strategy. A strategy that will minimize the impact of economic disruption, while maintaining business continuity for the rapidly expanding remote workforce. A strategy that uses technology to ensure that security and access governance for all critical systems are in place to optimize flexible workforce. On the financial side, such a strategy will allow you to keep an eye on foreign exchange markets, limiting exposure and finding opportunities as currency fluctuates. It’s agile enough to revise financial assets quickly and ensure cash availability. It protects against increased credit risks and helps you continue to process receivables with speed and efficiency. And a good strategy enables efficient collaboration – and ensures compliance – across all entities. Do you have a strategy, that can safeguard your finances and allow you to emerge on solid ground, in place?
