IT Strategy and Execution Plan to Align Initiatives to Corporate Objectives of Digital Transformation and Spend Optimization from ‘Run’ to ‘Growth’
The IT organization of a global insurance leader needed to align with the corporate-wide transformation. Trianz was engaged to collaborate in defining and articulating the client’s 3-year strategy to enable business growth while servicing technology debt and upgrading the existing team skills.
