Capgemini

 

Innovation is all about preparing organizations and their people for drastic change.  More about the “how” than the “what”. The mindset, culture, discipline, and processes.  At Capgemini we help businesses discover and perfect how to bring that change in order to create and deliver business, technology and digital solutions that fit their needs, enabling them to achieve innovation and competitiveness. This power to bring change is needed more today than ever. Fueled by technology innovation and a vibrant startup ecosystem, organizations are in a prime environment to evolve at an exponential pace. Advancements in the field of artificial intelligence, as just one example, and the ability to massively exploit this and other innovation waves provide opportunities for changing business models, creating new customer interactions, and generating new revenue streams.  

Businesses with inspiration, dedication and prioritization have an excellent opportunity to re-energize their innovation capability. By committing to and embracing an applied innovation business paradigm, those businesses will find a lucrative niche capable of expanding their addressable markets. The result is a future-ready organization  that can survive no matter how volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous the circumstances. 

Connect with Capgemini to learn more about how your company can become a future-ready organization. You'll find Capgemini in a few key places at Dreamforce: at Platinum Sponsor Booth 918; in the Campground where we are the Exclusive Retail Headliner Sponsor; and in the Manufacturing Lodge.

Cognizant

 

How can I be more relevant to my customers? That’s the challenge many organizations are confronting in the midst of an ever-changing competitive landscape and a customer base with continually increasing expectations. Add to that the introduction of digital technologies, and it’s easy to see why the quest for customer relevance is so vexing.

 

That quest is key to our mission at Cognizant, a leading provider of information technology, consulting, and business process outsourcing services, dedicated to helping the world's leading companies build stronger businesses.

 

To combat declining revenue growth rates and decreasing customer retention, companies need a holistic business value framework. This helps to diagnose and identify core problems that are inhibiting growth or slowing necessary transformation. Then you can apply a strategic approach to revenue growth that lies at the intersection of customer relevance, sales effectiveness, marketing effectiveness and service effectiveness.

 

So how do you start this journey?  The most successful approach is to begin with a short-term assessment that determines the severity of impact and linkage to deeper core problems. With that knowledge you can construct a roadmap of prioritized next steps. One caution – don’t just focus on operational efficiencies as a narrow approach to cost-cutting. To thrive amid unprecedented levels of change, senior leaders need to turn their attention to cultivating new revenue streams via innovative products and services – that’s the pathway to customer relevance.

Docusign

 

How are Salesforce customers doing business faster, at less cost? By connecting and automating how they prepare, sign, act on, and manage sales contracts and other agreements. The DocuSign for Salesforce case studies show how to: accelerate turnaround time from days to minutes, reduce costs by eliminating paper, increase Salesforce adoption, and simplify people’s experiences by sending agreements from within Salesforce.

 

If you are already one of the thousands of customers using DocuSign for Salesforce to modernize your System of Agreement, we invite you to join us to see what’s new. If you’d like to understand how to completely digitize and automate your agreement process or learn where DocuSign and SpringCM, a cloud-based document generation and contract lifecycle management innovator, can transform the foundation of doing business – the agreement process, you are very welcome at customer expo booth #1218, or in one of our sessions.

 

As a Platinum Salesforce partner, a Platinum (Customer Expo) & (Trailhead) Sponsor of Dreamforce 2018, and a provider of one of the top paid apps in the Salesforce AppExchange, we will be bringing our biggest and best Dreamforce presence ever. We look forward to seeing you there!

MapAnything

 

Tools like Google Maps and Waze help us in our daily lives when searching for the best route from point A to point B. Optimization has already been incorporated into many business strategies in a variety of areas.  

 

So why do routing and scheduling still seem to pose such a major challenge for field service organizations? Today’s competitive landscape and high customer expectations lead to several layers of tradeoffs and considerations. As Field Technologies Online indicates in their recent report, “State of Field Services 2018,” the demands of customers are shifting as well, from response time to resolution time, and from reactive support to proactive support.

With this in mind, optimization now demands a multi-objective approach that can accommodate time windows, customer priorities, SLAs, visit requirements and spacing considerations. At MapAnything we have taken a new approach to these difficult routing and scheduling problems, exposing fine-grained control over how these tradeoffs are handled.  I look forward to discussing more about our recently released MapAnything Routing Engine (MARE) at my session “The Field Service Dilemma: Solving Today’s Multi-Objective Routing and Scheduling Problem,” at Dreamforce this year. Hope to see you there!

In 2017, Chris joined MapAnything to lead a team of computer scientists and operations researchers in a new routing and optimization department, dedicated to developing a cloud-based system for rich, multi-objective routing and scheduling problems.

 



 

SpringCM

Contracts and agreements are the lifeblood of your organization, but deals often grind to a halt when they hit the contract stage. The longer it takes to get a contract prepared, signed, enacted and managed, the longer it takes to receive revenue from the deal. The innovative SpringCM platform has helped Salesforce customers better manage contracts throughout their full lifecycle — from contract generation to renewal. The results are more transparency and security, reduced operating costs and accelerated revenue.

 

Now, as part of the DocuSign family, SpringCM is helping Salesforce customers modernize their System of Agreement. If you’d like to understand how to completely digitize and automate your agreement process or learn where DocuSign and SpringCM can transform the foundation of doing business – the agreement process, join us in the customer expo (booth #1118) or in one of our sessions.

 

As a Platinum Salesforce partner, a Platinum (Customer Expo) & (Trailhead) Sponsor of Dreamforce 2018, we have expanded our Dreamforce presence this year to showcase our passion for transforming and automating the foundation of doing business—the agreement process. We look forward to seeing you there!
