How Digital Business Redefines the Buyer Seller Relationship
Presented by: Bianca Granetto
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00
Digital business essentially means that buyers of technology are developing into technology companies competing in their own industry of reference and/or disrupting other industries. As they transform, technology becomes their core business, consequently aggravating the issue of vendor lock-in, but most importantly, raising the need for a new trust model and working relationship with providers. In turn, providers of technology must also undergo transformation to stay relevant and remain competitive. This webinar provides an analysis of the buyer’s perspective and changing behaviors, as well as offering insight on the most common provider best practices and Gartner’s top recommendations.

Supporting Cost Optimization in the Business
Presented by: Barbara Gomolski
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00
Digital business models are putting increased pressure on companies to become more operationally efficient, and the greatest opportunities to “optimize” a business are outside of IT.

U.S. Healthcare Payers: Innovate or Face Obsolescence
Presented by: Brad Holmes
EDT: 1:00 p.m. | PDT: 10:00 a.m. | GMT: 17:00
U.S. healthcare payers are at a cross roads. Down one path lies a future of progressive obsolescence as cost-constrained, behind-the-scenes claims adjudicators. Down the other is a future of growth and profit from consumers willingly rewarding their business to organizations that deliver measurable health value and satisfying experiences.
Many forces are aligned against payers’ financial prospects, including provider consolidation, regulatory and purchaser pressure, increasing care demand and options, and a legacy of high administrative complexity and cost. Incrementally addressing these pressures won’t deliver the new capabilities required to support a more consumer-oriented, value-based model. Nothing short of a strategic transformation toward orchestrating, and monetizing, health-value is needed to revive and solidify payers’ prominent role in the healthcare market.

Presented by: John Lovelock and Team
EDT: 11:00 a.m. | PDT: 8:00 a.m. | GMT: 15:00
2016 is now behind us, as is the interesting split between consumer and enterprise IT spending. Consumers were much more affected by the political and economic environment, which led them to retract overall spending in 2016. 2017 will be a year of turn around, with global growth is expected in most, but not all, regions and markets. Gartner’s 2016 market share data is showing some interesting trends and movements – the emergence of new vendors into existing markets, the shifts resulting from new offerings like cloud and the toppling of the largest vendors. In this webinar, we walk through three different market examples, demonstrate the effects that have reshaped the vendor landscape and, for classes of vendors, predict their 2017 actions.
