Concurrency Emphasizes Digital Transformation for Business and Technology Strategy Alignment

    MILWAUKEE, WI, October 26, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Concurrency, Inc., a Microsoft National Solution Provider, announced today a new go-to-market strategy fully integrated across the theme "Digital Transformation Realized."

Digital Transformation is using Cloud and other technologies in ways that change business operations, interactions and business models with profound impact for customers, vendors, and employees. "Corporate leaders know Digital Transformation is required to exceed expectations from customers, employees and vendors," said Bill Topel, Concurrency's Vice President-Sales and Marketing. "They know organizational demand now is constant adaptation--and they need to keep up."

Topel said, "A company's technology group is no longer a cost center but a partner to other corporate functions. CIOs know that they need to change over from the old model of IT (information technology) to the new model of OT (operational technology) to deliver value. What's exciting is to see CEOs, CMOs, CFOs, and other top leaders banging the drum for technical agility to adapt to competitive pressures. Digital Transformation isn't another multi-year project like email, web, or ERP. Rather, it's about having a foundation that lets you adapt--and thrive--as industries change."

Concurrency's Approach
Concurrency's strategy focuses on five key areas centered around the functional needs of digitally transforming organizations:

- Data & Analytics
Business Intelligence, SQL, Predictive Analytics, Big Data

"Digital Transformation affects everyone in an organization," said James Savage, Concurrency's founder and President. "Our clients recognize they need to be thinking far beyond a single product or product category when charting their IT roadmaps.
