Three Steps for Successful Digital Integration

by David Dubois

As technology plays an ever increasing role in BPO solutions both provider and buyers are benefiting from an accelerated path to all forms of innovation. Greater speed, analytics, quality and scalability are just the beginning.

The 2015 BPO Innovations Conference shows attendees that innovation – constant, holistic, forward-thinking innovation – can deliver sustained, long-term improvement and bottom-line results. The intersection of BPO, Technology and Innovation will increasingly deliver significant upside to those organizations that are smart enough to explore it

Program highlights include: keynote presentations from HfS and Xerox; test drives with Tesla Motors; speakers and panelists from Avasant, HBO, Loeb & Loeb, McKesson, NeoGroup, PwC, Thomson Reuters, and more.
