The drive to innovate is evident in all industries. However, each sector faces its own set of unique challenges. Therefore, those seeking to support businesses in their innovation endeavours must adopt a holistic approach. This should not only be business-centric but should also consider current customer and vertical alignment needs to their approach. By understanding the specific outcomes each industry aims to achieve, the right technology can then be applied, leading to genuine business transformation, says Daniel Valle, senior vice president, GSP International, at World Wide Technology.

In this article, I will explore industry leader's pain points, consider their vision for an innovative future and suggest investments that service providers can implement to support these ambitions.
