Press Release
Trianz Blog -The Voice of High-Tech Business Operations
April 18, 2008, Santa Clara, California

The fast-paced high tech industry is currently facing a wide array of challenges, from globalization, technology convergence, and disruptive technology shifts to consolidation, continued price pressures and the need for continued product and service differentiation. This creates a unique opportunity for high tech enterprises to constantly innovate to stay ahead of the game - or in some cases, to remain in the game.

Trianz, a global technology services firm that provides management consulting, technology and operations outsourcing services to a diversified client base worldwide, recently launched a forum for the global high tech operations community at http://trianzblog.com/wordpress/. This eCommunity is intended to foster the creation and consumption of thought-provoking information that is germane to business executives of leading high tech organizations. The first phase of this eCommunity will focus on sharing high tech perspectives in three key business operations areas: Sales and Channels Operations, Finance Operations and Service Business Management.

Sanjay Shitole, Vice President, Trianz High Technology Vertical, explained the objective of this eCommunity. "The biggest challenge faced by leaders of key operations functions within high tech organizations is the ability to fully comprehend the overall business vision and strategic imperatives and translate them into set of executable initiatives. Trianz has a hybrid business model that combines business consulting and technology expertise, which allows us to fully internalize the business imperatives as envisioned by key business leaders and help address a variety of organizational challenges from a process, policy, organization, systems, and tools perspective. We strongly believe that a forum like this will allow thought leaders and industry / domain experts from Trianz and other leading high tech companies to collaborate and discuss business operations challenges, trends, and best practices in a given topic area.

True to the objective of this forum, the issues currently being addressed by the Trianz eCommunity are top priorities within the high tech industry. "A Perspective on Pricing and Discounting" addresses price and discount administration issues, challenges and opportunities. "The Return of Finance as a Business Partner" takes a look at the post S-Ox Finance organization, which must now act as a business partner rather than as a compliance and control organization. "The Global Services Model" shares a perspective on how high tech firms have been investing heavily into building a robust service sales and delivery infrastructure which are now becoming the main source of differentiation from their competition.

We envision this eCommunity acting as a unique forum for sharing, validating and presenting perspectives on business operations that are top-of-mind for today's high tech executives. We have validated this concept with a variety of high tech business leaders, who have responded with great enthusiasm and ongoing support. We look forward to watching this eCommunity grow over the coming months in both member size and breadth of topics.
