Tech Leader Panel: Accelerate Your Growth by Reducing Time to Market

About the event

With an ever growing market competition, companies try to surpass each other by delivering a high quality product cheaper or faster. While staying ahead of the competition lays at the heart of a business’s growth, reducing time to market is often a mere promise rather than a deliverable action. It requires alignment on many fronts and the boldness to innovate on existing business processes. In this race against time, companies encounter various challenges, such as stakeholder alignment and security issues. Adapting at speed is one of the key ingredients to overcoming them. By automating processes and adapting to changes at speed, you can deliver your service or product faster and gain the competitive advantage. But how?

Join us for this Live Panel with Matt Turner together with Nikola Yovchev and Marcel van Benthem. In this discussion they will explore how agility and adaptability can contribute to reducing your time to market and staying ahead of the competition. The panelists will share their personal experiences and lessons from the trenches learned working at companies such as Marshall Wace, Relay42, and Trifork while discussing future trends in technology and how they influence multiple business environments.
