With this approach comes immense productivity gains and process improvements, driving new business models and continued enhancements. This allows for the strengthening of long-standing businesses and fortifying newer business for future growth. In an industry that is seeing rapid and continual evolutions it is imperative that new business models, products, and regulatory concerns are effectively supported.
