their clients’ business models. We believe that the intelli-
gent use of next generation technology, deployed along-

age, strategically-focused firms will deploy best-of-breed
data services to generate real efficiencies and improved
decision making. Digital technologies will enable a greater

they will even underpin business model transformations
that will take the industry to a new level.
