An online presence today is not about having a portal or a simple content website where people access information. The Digital medium has grown rapidly that today, business drive technology as an extended tool to reach their customers at every digital touch point and create a seamless engaging experience with the brand.
So what about the vendor partners who help you implement them? Vendors today cannot be just vendors anymore. They have to IT partners who help your business growth in the Digital medium. They should play the role of a consultant, developer, Service provider and solution provider. Help you to reap the benefits of next-gen technology by being the front-runners.
The core to all of this is finding an exclusive team with the vendor who will work closely with your business in a long run to make this happen.
We did the same for one of our clients. Building a core team under four functional areas who worked exclusively for the client over a period of 3 years and continuing to enable Digital transformation for the customer.

This is where technology and business play hand in hand towards business growth. The team collaborates with the client's leadership team to understand the requirements and the objective of each Digital initiatives and work towards the same. They lay the roadmap for any project and the project begins here.

Innovation team
If you would agree necessity is the mother of invention, this team work on both necessity and the invention/innovation. Formed by the AI scientists, Chief Architects, and the core development team, they stand a separate entity and work closely with all three teams. Time and again they help the other three teams to stay up to date with technology and market. They develop POCs and prototypes from our in-house AI Research labs and pass it over for development and testing.
