Digital transformation and the digital business are top of mind for suppliers and enterprises. But there is a gap to be bridged between market perception and reality. The latest report from the ESASViews research stream highlights the key challenges and directions in this section of the UK market.
Making the most of the opportunities that come from digital transformation requires concentrated effort on the four ‘C’s” - convergence, co-ordination, complexity management and capacity for change. In our view, the challenge of aligning these factors is the primary reason for the digital gap. But the gap can be bridged through a focus on highly targeted, outcome-oriented solutions that can be delivered at speed. With immature business cases and return on investment proof points still a work in progress, a particular challenge for suppliers is resetting expectations—and organisational/business structures—around small, serial projects. At the same time, suppliers need to be able to bridge digital and legacy estates which means meshing asset-intense traditional approaches with emerging skills and techniques. In fact, success in the era of digital transformation does not rest on building one bridge but several interconnecting structures.

The third annual TechMarketView Presentation & Dinner, sponsored by Wells Fargo Capital Finance and Avnet Technology Solutions, is to be held on 9 September 2015 in London at RIBA, Portland Place from 6pm onwards. We’d love to see you there. The event was completely sold out last year so don’t leave it until the last minute – book your place now!
The theme for this year’s event mirrors TechMarketView’s overarching research theme for 2015 - ‘Joining the Dots’. Top of the agenda will be the opportunities and challenges for technology suppliers as the number of ‘things’, datasets and systems that need to be joined together grows.
During the evening TechMarketView’s analyst team, topped and tailed by Chairman Richard Holway MBE and Managing Partner Anthony Miller, present their latest views on the UK software, IT services and business process services markets. TechMarketView’s research directors will highlight emerging trends, hot new opportunities, growing threats and suppliers worth watching, in their respective fields.
The analyst presentations will be preceded by welcome drinks and followed by a pre-dinner drinks reception and then a sumptuous three course dinner. The event, which is attended by ‘the great and the good’ in UK tech, has been a sell-out for the last two years and the networking opportunities are second to none.
Tickets for the event cost £395+VAT per person for TechMarketView subscription clients and £495+VAT for everyone else. There are also some tables of 10 available on a first come, first served basis.

Understanding the UK SITS landscape is not just about analysing the largest players. We learn a lot about the market and industry by following small and mid-sized players too – hence the importance of our Little British Battlers programme. And indeed, we are often impressed by their level of technical and industry knowledge and their financial performance.
One SME we track closely is Memset, a small hosting and cloud provider with a passion for Open Source technology, greener data centres and secure cloud services for government. The company’s recent investments not only position it well to take advantage of G-Cloud opportunities, but also make it a good potential partner for SIs and others that want to tap into its technical capabilities.
Subscribers to our Foundation Service and our Infrastructure Services stream can read the note here: SME Snapshot: Memset.
