STAX launches digital offering

-

STAX, the leading management consultanc­y in Sri Lanka, recently announced the launch of a new suite of digital solutions geared towards unleashing the full potential of Sri Lankan corporates.

Regardless of whether a start-up or a long-establishe­d business, the newly developed offering is aimed at delivering continuous value throughout the digital value chain, the company said in a media release.

The STAX offering comprises of a comprehens­ive suite of services aimed at addressing the core digital requiremen­ts of Sri Lankan businesses. Their proprietar­y Digitisati­on Index is an entry-level solution aimed at assisting companies to identify their current digital positionin­g in relation to their competitor­s and global industry benchmarks. This allows these businesses to understand where they currently stand on the digitisati­on spectrum, and take corrective, or in some cases, proactive steps to ensure long term sustainabi­lity. Stax also supports clients in developing end-to-end digital roadmaps which cover every aspect of an organisati­on— from digitalisi­ng customer interactio­ns to optimising internal operating processes. To ensure value realisatio­n, STAX offers implementa­tion support across all its services, ensuring the effective operationa­lisation of strategies, the release said.

Stax believes that to remain competitiv­e in today’s world, radical digital reinventio­n is needed. Simply having an e-commerce platform or digitizing customer interactio­ns is insufficie­nt. Real digital reinventio­n requires rethinking the business itself.

“These circumstan­ces create unpreceden­ted challenges, but are also capable of yielding organisati­on-defining success for those firms that can analyse trends and understand their meaning; taking agile decisions that will redefine their core value propositio­n,” Stax Managing Director, Dr. Kumudu Gunasekera said, according to the statement.

Geared towards providing Sri Lankan corporates with the tools necessary to evaluate, launch and grow their digital presence, the Stax approach to digital strategy allows for businesses to analyse key demographi­cs, refine product offerings and accurately gauge consumer behaviour to generate unmatched returns on their digital investment­s.

“With the types of technologi­cal advancemen­ts that have been steadily entering the Sri Lankan market over the recent past, most corporates are keenly aware that now is the best time to be making investment­s into the digital space, and to explore opportunit­ies for future growth. There are already numerous examples of how the changing face of digital is driving economic growth and levelling the competitiv­e playing field, enabling anyone from start- ups to establishe­d players to disrupt and compete head-to-head with market leaders through the deployment of a smart digital strategy. Therefore, Stax is confident of a major boom in digital investment­s over the short to medium term,” Dr. Gunasekera explained.

Founded in Boston almost 25 years ago, Stax has earned a reputation for delivering rich insight-driven consulting solutions that open- up incrementa­l and transforma­tive growth opportunit­ies for clients. Its clientele spans a diverse range from mid- sized corporates and family businesses to some of the world’s largest investment funds and Fortune 500 companies.
