Analyst Spotlight

Lorenzo Veronesi

Research Analyst, EMEA

"Companies surviving the worst crisis in 80 years have worked hard to secure sustainable growth by improving their business processes. All their achievements were greatly supported by IT investments, proving the fact that IT is an essential tool for manufacturers to succeed. Therefore, manufacturers don't consider IT departments as mere "cost centers" as it was many years ago, and feel the urgency to align their IT projects to corporate strategies."
