Informa Tech’s Gary Nugent
During his keynote, Gary Nugent, Informa Tech’s CEO, traveled from across the pond to deliver a warning to businesses that fail to innovate and a call for the channel to help companies in this area:
“There is no doubt about it, as the world becomes increasingly digital, the barriers to entry are dropping,” he said. “The fierceness of competition is only increasing. And our customers are feeling increasingly under pressure to constantly innovate in an agile, data-driven, intuitive, test-and-learn fashion.”
Those companies that successfully innovate are rising to the top, Nugent said. Those that don’t are feeling an existential threat to their businesses.
Informa Tech is the parent company of Channel Futures and the Channel Partners Conference & Expo.
