Only one week to go until the start of Enterprise Digital SUMMIT 2016 in Paris. We are very much looking forward to this year’s edition with a lot of exciting speakers and new discussions on the future of the organization in the digital age. We are also very grateful for being supported again by a nice number of partners that are helping us to make this event happen. In order to give the right credit to our partners I would like to introduce them in this post shortly.

As one of our longest supporting partner for the Paris event as well as other Enterprise Digital events IBM is again part of the show. As one of the leading solution provider in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant IBM is enabling engagement, collaboration and improving productivity in the workplace. Recently they have announced the beginning of the cognitive era – with IBM Watson making the digital workplace more intelligent.
