WEBINAR How To Successfully Hire And Staff For Your Digital Business Danielle Geoffroy, Researcher May 17, 2017. Call in at 10:55 a.m. Eastern time<br>

Structure, talent, & process make or break digital biz success The need to be Agile is driving systems architecture and organizational change. I spend so much time trying to run around to get approval from various departments that I can’t actually get anything done. In general, everyone knows a change is needed. But when it affects their day-to-day lives, there is a resistance to it. You can have all the best technology in the world. But without the right organizational model, staffing, and governance in place . . . it means nothing. Traditional ways of justifying projects just aren’t cutting it anymore. We are chronically short on resources. We don’t have dedicated mobile skills on staff, so we expect our digital team to be adept in mobile. Different parts of the organization own different pieces of the client. Digital biz executives see the need for radical organizational change . . . . . . but face resistance due to lack of understanding.<br>

Consider the following when outsourcing vs insourcing: Outsourcing:
Offshore development: Cognizant, HCL, Infosys, LiquidHub, Mindtree, and Wipro
Strategy/design: Accenture Interactive, Huge, Isobar, VML, SapientRazorfish
Data/analytics: CI&T, Deloitte Digital, Epsilon, HCL, PWC, KPMG
Insourcing:
When hiring front-end developers, look for existing web skills (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) and existing mobile skills (Android, iOS, and SDKs). Also look for skills in prototyping and familiarity with tools such as Angular or React.
Modern tools, such as web CMS and commerce solutions (Adobe, Demandware, and Sitecore), make it easier for practitioners to make changes to the presentation layer.
When hiring technical talent, consider your overall tech architecture. If you intend to be an Oracle shop, hire dev talent that has knowledge of and familiarity with Oracle tools.<br>
