The state-of-the-art center is a platform for
global clients and partners to co-create and co-innovate
differentiated digital business solutions
Virtusa Corporation (NASDAQ GS:VRTU), a global provider of
digital strategy, digital engineering, and IT outsourcing services
that accelerates business outcomes for its clients, today announced
the launch of its Innovation Center in Indianapolis,
Indiana. The incubation hub was developed to showcase its
clients’ and partners’ technology capabilities with those of
Virtusa. The facility will act as a value creator and foster
Virtusa’s Innovation as a Service offering by leveraging advances
in technology to incubate and fuel new growth and enhance the
efficacy of existing processes. While its focus is on enabling
Virtusa’s global clientele on their innovation journeys, the
Innovation Center is also uniquely positioned to support the
transformational needs of Indianapolis businesses looking to
re-imagine their digital futures.
"We are excited about this new center that not only strengthens
the Indianapolis community, but also reaffirms our commitment to
designing IT and digital solutions that reduce technical debt and
bring our clients closer to their consumers. Our Innovation Center
will improve how we empower our teams to learn, collaborate and
deliver best-in-class customer experiences,” said Mark Ohrvall,
senior vice president and Indianapolis Center Head,
Virtusa. “We are committed to maintaining our leadership
position in Indianapolis and helping enterprises digitally
transform. Our new center will help us quickly bring to market
the next generation of digital process automation (DPA) and
industry solutions for our clients.”
According to the recent study, The Digital
Transformation Race Has Begun, which was commissioned by
Virtusa and conducted by Forrester Consulting, 85 percent of firms
surveyed believe their annual budget for digital transformation
will increase. The study showed that although most firms have
started their digital transformation journeys, many projects have
stalled or failed to deliver tangible value to the business. The
problem businesses are facing is not with technology, but with
their inability to understand how to leverage technology to
innovate and transform their organizations. This Innovation Center
will enable Virtusa’s clients and partners to collaborate and
co-create innovative solutions to harness the power of disruptive
digital technologies and accelerate business outcomes. From
envisioning to creating business cases and proof-of-concepts, to
developing next-generation digital solutions, the Innovation Center
will help drive the innovation velocity of Virtusa’s clients. The
Indianapolis Innovation Center includes:
- Capabilities in emerging technologies
to advance, incubate, and fuel new growth and also improve the
productivity of existing processes through automation.
- Collaborative workspaces for clients,
partners, and Virtusa engineers to co-create and co-innovate
services that include the internet of things, artificial
intelligence and big data, cloud, social and mobile tools, location
and tracking technology, and security and compliance.
- An executive auditorium to run
presentations and showcase solutions.
- Agile development stations with the
tools to enable unique solution approaches and offer agile methods
towards problem determination and innovation.
- A Pega Center of Excellence to create
new solutions for clients through Pega Infinity™, Pega’s
next-generation digital transformation software suite that includes
Pega’s market-leading customer engagement applications and digital
process automation (DPA) platform, all integrated with Virtusa’s
own business solutions. Areas of focus for the center include
Pega’s AI, robotics, decisioning, and user experience and user
interface design capabilities.
John Gillis, executive vice president and co-founder of Virtusa,
said, “The addition of this Pega Center of Excellence and
Innovation Lab in Indianapolis is reflective of Virtusa’s
commitment to our clients’ urgent needs for industry-centric
Digital Process Automation solutions that accelerate their digital
transformation efforts through improved digital journeys, lower
operations cost, and faster operation cycle times.”
Pegasystems, the software company empowering customer engagement
at the world’s leading enterprises, is Virtusa’s first on-site
partner in Indianapolis. The Pega Center of Excellence, which is
housed within the Innovation Center, will enable clients through
innovative solutions and a sandbox-style learning environment that
facilitates ideation, design-thinking, prototyping, and testing of
new solutions.
“As our clients seek new solutions to meet their digital
transformation goals, it’s important they have resources such as
the new Innovation Center to explore the technologies available to
them,” said Ken Nicolson, vice president, global alliances,
Pegasystems. “This new Pega Center of Excellence within the
Innovation Center will ensure that clients can continuously
innovate to meet their strategic goals as well as the needs of
their customers.”
