WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.006 --> 00:00:10.427 The partners ecosystem at AWS is super important to us because we're customer obsessed. 2 00:00:10.719 --> 00:00:15.807 AWS has created the largest cloud platform that has been adopted so far 3 00:00:15.807 --> 00:00:18.852 and we really rely on our partners to develop their innovations 4 00:00:18.852 --> 00:00:22.105 on top of that, so they can really address the customer's needs 5 00:00:22.105 --> 00:00:23.565 whether it be products or services. 6 00:00:24.024 --> 00:00:26.234 The biggest challenge that I'm seeing from customers 7 00:00:26.234 --> 00:00:29.195 is that they want a holistic business transformation, 8 00:00:29.195 --> 00:00:30.905 and that can't be done in piecemeal. 9 00:00:31.031 --> 00:00:35.285 So that can't be done by one part of the tech stack or one strategy project, 10 00:00:35.285 --> 00:00:37.162 that actually has to be done holistically. 11 00:00:37.162 --> 00:00:38.538 So you have to look at the strategy, 12 00:00:38.538 --> 00:00:41.458 you have to look at the people, the process, the platform. 13 00:00:41.458 --> 00:00:46.838 All of it has to work in concert together to really effect a proper business model transformation. 14 00:00:46.838 --> 00:00:48.048 And I think for that reason, 15 00:00:48.048 --> 00:00:51.676 when AWS partners with BCG, this is when we get the breakthroughs. 16 00:00:52.302 --> 00:00:55.597 BCG comes with this legacy of amazing 17 00:00:55.597 --> 00:01:01.186 strategic 360-degree thinking around how do you take strategy and implement it. 18 00:01:01.394 --> 00:01:03.813 And then now you layer on top of that BCG X, 19 00:01:03.855 --> 00:01:08.401 which has all this new capability around deep build technology expertise, 20 00:01:08.401 --> 00:01:11.696 artificial intelligence and machine learning, and deep analytics. 21 00:01:11.696 --> 00:01:15.492 And then underneath that we have AWS supporting with cloud technologies 22 00:01:15.492 --> 00:01:18.244 and cloud services that we provide, and the ongoing innovation 23 00:01:18.244 --> 00:01:20.371 that you've plugged into already with BCG X. 24 00:01:21.247 --> 00:01:26.503 When clients are working with BCG X and AWS together, they should expect a seamless experience. 25 00:01:26.669 --> 00:01:30.840 BCG X will do a great job of integrating in not only AWS 26 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.968 but other partners that are involved in delivering a holistic solution. 27 00:01:34.302 --> 00:01:35.970 There will be one kick off, 28 00:01:35.970 --> 00:01:38.264 we'll work together to make sure that there's training 29 00:01:38.264 --> 00:01:39.349 for the right people, 30 00:01:39.349 --> 00:01:42.852 that the solutions are innovative and jointly developed also with the customer. 31 00:01:43.061 --> 00:01:46.272 So we're going to continue to transform organizations. 32 00:01:46.564 --> 00:01:49.818 One example where we've worked together very well is to help a global 33 00:01:49.818 --> 00:01:54.823 pharmaceutical manufacturer reduce their production variability by a large amount 34 00:01:54.989 --> 00:01:58.576 through an advanced analytics platform that we built together on top of AWS. 35 00:01:59.160 --> 00:02:03.164 BCG and AWS together will continue to help our customers 36 00:02:03.164 --> 00:02:06.584 achieve competitive advantage through unlocking new insights 37 00:02:06.584 --> 00:02:08.878 and really facilitating business transformation. 38 00:02:09.254 --> 00:02:12.340 And with the advent of BCG X, this is only going to accelerate 39 00:02:12.340 --> 00:02:13.883 further into the future.
