2021 Outlook: Re-Calibrating IT for a Volatile Economy

The Pandemic has forced companies to re-evaluate their IT strategy. While cost pressures and risk management drove the agenda in 2020, as the global economy re-emerges, 2021 is going to require a fresh outlook. The Post-COVID world is going to be very different, with continued remote working and contact-less customer engagement. Virtualization and Digitalization will be the key driving trends. As IT Leaders plan their IT budgets and initiatives for the year, a greater emphasis on variable spends and a shift away from capital investments, will require a re-alignment with new business realities.

Avasant’s premier 2021 Outlook Digital Forum in partnership with Innovate@UCLA will feature research-backed insights on the areas that CIOs and CFOs should focus on to re-imagine their IT while strengthening their Business. Leading IT and Finance Executives from Global 1000 will share their learnings and strategies for architecting a more agile and responsive IT organization that can streamline operations, drive a richer customer engagement and empower business to thrive in the Next Normal.
