On October 12^th and 13^th, 2023, we had several Perficient colleagues attend the Puerto Rico IT Cluster’s CIO & IT Leadership Conference, the most important technology leadership in the region.

This year’s conference agenda brought interesting and relevant topics around AI, talent development, new service models, cybersecurity, and data to the forefront. We were able to share ideas with colleagues, customers, and other industry stakeholders, establish new relationships, strengthen existing ones, and further the innovation conversation.

Key Takeaways from the Conference:

• AI is a disruptor. Perficient has invested in artificial intelligence for some time now, and we are working to bring this new technology to organizations that are interested in transforming their business in new ways across finance, marketing, service, analytics, and execution.
• Collaboration is a key element of innovation. You must leverage many technologies to bring success to organizations as they transform their businesses in the face of economic uncertainty and continued globalization. We are uniquely positioned with partnerships across leading and emerging technologies that enable us to support our customers’ journeys.
• Private and public organizations recognize that the need to innovate is a constant necessity, and they are looking for partners with innovation in their DNA to help them navigate these dynamic and constant changes. We bring global expertise and local know-how that enables transformation and spurs business velocity and growth.
• Talent development is critical as new technologies and models require young talent to stay at the front of new trends and capabilities, using the proper education programs to foster innovation. Perficient aligns with these goals through our internship programs, a partnership with the Mark Cuban Foundation’s AI Bootcamps, initiatives like our Bright Paths program, and the constant development of our team through access to education and growth tools.
• Data and interoperability is key. Data, cloud platforms, and application modernization drive new customer experiences in hybrid environments. These environments must interconnect in order to maximize business insights for organizations as they pursue transformation strategies and maximize IT investments and ROI across their businesses.

We are excited to have been a part of the conference and look forward to the continued dialog around innovation and strategic investments focused on digital transformation.

Let’s Connect at the Puerto Rico CIO & IT Leadership Conference

From October 12, 2023 to October 13, 2023, we will have several Perficient colleagues at the Puerto Rico IT Cluster’s CIO & IT Leadership conference to support companies in the region as they continue to transform through digital technology.

Our industry, technology, and strategy capabilities place Perficient at the forefront of the technology space, and we are excited to engage with our peers at this year’s conference. Our innovative approaches and practical advice tie in closely with many of the conference topics, and our team is looking forward to connecting with you and discussing how we can collaborate to drive success for you and your organization.

Today’s business environment requires organizations to rethink their processes and investments in digital from the past ten years. Over time, many investments have been tactical or not directly linked to other digital initiatives. As such, many organizations struggle to integrate, share, and manage their digital assets, properties, and processes in an effective and collaborative manner to ensure a seamless experience and maximum return on their investment.

As such, organizations must look to their digital strategy and processes to pursue innovation and agility while integrating multiple channels, mediums, and the infrastructure to support those efforts in a seamless and cost-effective way. A key step towards a successful digital strategy is leveraging the cloud and multi-cloud environments for strategic benefits. Our team is experienced and certified in many leading platforms as we partner with leading technology companies like Microsoft, Salesforce, Google, Oracle, and AWS.

As organizations look to optimize their investments, three key elements are fundamental to a successful transformation journey. Think big, start small, and move fast. It is essential to have a North Star that drives strategic direction, while you simultaneously define initiatives and actions in small blocks. This allows you to be agile while you experiment and to learn via iterative processes. All of this comes together to enable you to move ahead and adjust your path as the learning provides insights.

At Perficient, we focus on supporting our clients’ growth and accelerating their business by embracing constant change and enabling processes that align with these concepts. Driving a digital-first mindset and supporting our clients across the spectrum, Perficient offers strategy and transformation, experience design, product innovation, platforms and technology, and data and intelligence capabilities that enable transformative change with a pragmatic approach.

As one size does not fit all, Perficient is adaptable to your needs, and we can provide support in any area of your digital journey, from staffing support to full strategy to transformation and delivery across multiple platforms and industries. At the same time, we bring recognized thought leadership and innovative ideas to help our customers achieve their strategic goals, grow their businesses, and increase loyalty.
