Here's a problem I often see: Most businesses recognize the significance of data privacy and identity management in safeguarding information, yet many overlook the relationship between privacy, identity management and customer experience. This connection is becoming increasingly important as establishing and nurturing customer trust is essential for fostering repeat business, competitiveness and growth.

Protiviti Recognized as a 2024 ASAP Alliance Excellence Award Winner

In late June, the Association of Strategic Alliance Professionals (ASAP) named its 2024 Excellence Award winners. Protiviti, along with our partner SAP, is proud to have been recognized for the Best Ecosystem Solution. In the announcement, ASAP said, "Forming partnerships for the sake of adding bells and whistles is never the formula for success in tech. Companies like Protiviti and SAP must vigilantly scour the marketplace for solutions that surgically alleviate customer pain points."

“There are many challenges when you're building an ecosystem around a major platform like SAP, and that is because technology is so dynamic and changing rapidly all the time,” added Claudia Kuzma, CA-AM, Managing Director and Global Ecosystem Leader at Protiviti. “What was relevant 18 months ago is not as relevant today." She cited two keys to coping with this rapid-paced environment: 1) fail fast and 2) look to unchartered waters to build new solutions and differentiate yourself. Kuzma also stressed the importance of tracking customer lifetime value, the cost of sales and new customer acquisition.
