Organizations that do this effectively have developed “paved roads” that enable their digital teams to adopt a “you build it, you run it” operating model

Key Challenges

Organizations looking to scale their digital presence face the following key challenges:

Sub optimal
digital presence

Organizations struggle to differentiate through digital channels

“We really wanted a platform that would enable us to shape a proposition that would truly differentiate us from our competitors” - Global director of digital product, retail

Slow processes to move
ideas to deployment

Complex processes and legacy platforms slow down the deployment of strategic differentiators..

“Our concept to cash timeline was looking around 18 months to 24 months. We [reduced it to] about 6 months. I think it would be faster now.”

Heavy maintenance
requirements

Centralized processes and legacy engineering practices increase the overhead of maintaining digital infrastructure..

“We used to be in a position where getting ready for Black Friday was a significant challenge. Through the work that Equal Experts a nd their consultants have done the way they have been able to help us re-engineer our platform and our technology practices means that we were able to go way beyond our typical levels of performance without any issue.”

Unable to
innovate at scale

Organizations struggle to differentiate through digital channels.
