Enterprises continue to invest extensively in Data and Analytics (D&A) services delivery to overhaul their existing service delivery ecosystems to integrate customer needs, consumer preferences, and avenues for further improving their existing constructs. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, businesses that once mapped digital strategy in one- to three-year phases have now been forced to scale their initiatives in a matter of days or weeks.
