Where Might The Channel Help?

If you have the digital skills that can help a business move toward its digital transformation goals, that could be a selling point, based on the PwC survey results.

Sixty-three percent of respondents to that survey cited a lack of properly skilled teams is either an existing or emerging barrier to digital transformation projects. Not far behind: outdated technologies, at 61 percent, followed by a lack of integration of new and existing technologies and data, at 59 percent.

PwC asked businesses how successfully they deliver on digital projects; only 38 percent said they deliver them on time, Curran said at the DXC presentation for investors. "There is a huge gap here in terms of the ability to deliver on the digital vision," he said. For service providers like DXC, he added, "this creates a huge opportunity and again boils down to skills."
