Could you give an overview of how Mastek can help organisations with digital transformation ?
“ IT was once dominated by established players like Emphasis , Wipro , HCL and TCS , who compete on an economy of scale , but in a digital world , it ’ s not about the cost of the inputs , it ’ s about the time to the outcome . In the digital world , the project is rarely about cost displacement being driven by the back office . Digitally , we ’ re all about transforming the business in the front office to customers to shareholders to suppliers to the regulator - that change is very transparent . We ’ re all tech savvy with smartphones and in the digital world , every delay , every issue is also transparent to your stakeholders . For us embracing digital is about quality and speed as we support our engineers to deliver capability , capacity and judgment .”

“ We couldn ’ t compete in the old world of this race to the bottom … What we do have is residual value in our architects and engineering excellence . We respect , trust and reward our engineers , empowering them to invent and make things better . They don ’ t just go to work to follow a tick box exercise … It ’ s where I think the IT world was going with more junior people simply following processes to drive costs down , who weren ’ t being encouraged to think , to explore , to challenge and be curious .”
