WHY BIG IS BEST FOR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE EXPONENTIAL AGE
Bottom line : The corporate world is ramping up its digital transformation plans and looking for the quickest route to market . But there is no room to get this wrong . Managing risk is everything and the financial services sector has the most to lose . Why ?

You can only do that with a focused ecosystem of core vendors such as Dell Technologies and service and solution providers such as Computacenter who can deploy that , at scale , globally .”
“ You can ’ t do this without depth , experience and massive scale and that explains why government departments and the largest corporates across UK industry , such as Equiniti in the financial services sector , are drawn to Computacenter and Dell Technologies ” says Griffin .
