We\u2019re always engaging with our clients from a business lens, utilizing processes and people, and adding a technical depth and expertise to our client partnerships. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>What is the most rewarding aspect of supporting clients in TGG\u2019s Technology Practice?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Meeting our clients where they are, understanding their needs and challenges, and crafting a pragmatic action plan. This means evaluating their tech stack, teams, and asking, \u201cWhat can we do in the next 6 weeks and 6 months?\u201d With this approach we can start helping and start delivering value right away and not just toward a project\u2019s end.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tell us about a recent engagement supporting a client initiative<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A national education services provider planned and started a digital transformation initiative. We helped them step back and assess their readiness to execute their digital transformation strategy. Additionally, our team made a series of digital program structure and agile product delivery recommendations that we are helping drive forward.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>What are recent trends you see impacting organizations in the Technology space?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>COVID has substantially increased consumer expectation for a robust digital experience for many companies. People are much more willing to engage in a digital experience now because it became a reality during the pandemic. And this aligns perfectly with our Technology Service offering. Consumers are demanding a great digital experience and we\u2019re able to help because that transformation is built from everything TGG does.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>What do you anticipate impacting businesses over the next 3-5 years in this area?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Expectations of digital experiences are going to be high. Whoever is doing this experience well right now, will likely be doing it well in 3-5 years. Ones that aren&#8217;t doing this well or didn&#8217;t do it in the past, might not be here in 3-5 years and expanding and creating a digital experience is expensive. Instead of buying property for storefronts, you\u2019re investing in technology costs and data centers \u2014 and this will be just as true in the future as it is now.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Tell us about one of your favorite projects your team has worked on<\/em><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A global athletic wear company started their digital transformation back in the mid-2000s mostly focused on North America. Now we&#8217;re helping expand their global footprint because they sell so many products outside of the United States. This leads to interesting questions to answer, involving how to make technology scalable and reliable. It\u2019s even more interesting because we can use prior learnings to inform new strategic ideas.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/guntergroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/placeholder-img.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3210\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/matthew-jamison-9ab91b4\/\">Matt Jamison<\/a>:<\/strong>  <br>Matt is an experienced solutions architect with a results-oriented understanding of the intersection between reality and architectural theory.
