Outbreak boosting digital investment
With the ongoing spread of Covid-19, video conferencing, risk management, cloud services and digital transformation have drawn corporate interest for investment, says Accenture, a business consultancy. "We see no evidence that our customers, particularly in banking and retail, are putting less emphasis on technology or digital transformation projects," said Nontawat Poomchusri, managing director of Accenture in Thailand. During this crisis, businesses attach more importance to digital technology, which will be increasingly adopted, he said. Collaboration tools and video conference meetings should be more common for work as they reduce travel and facilitate working from home, said Mr Nontawat. Business continuity planning and risk management should become priorities, he said.
