Fix the basics to drive AI, innovation, and Growth

To innovate and grow effectively in the ever-evolving digital era, it’s essential to address service and technical debts and the related sourcing decisions with a clear, forward-looking strategy and transformation. Azelis and Nouryon both successfully underwent such a fundamental, low-risk transformation of their legacy IT shared services and landscape.

This transformation enables fast adoption of AI, innovation, business value realization and increased user productivity. It is also improving security and compliance at lower costs and made them more attractive employers.

Azelis is a leading global distributor of specialty chemicals and food ingredients offering a wide range of products and innovative services. Nouryon produces essential specialty chemicals solutions to manufacture everyday products such as personal care, cleaning, paints and coatings, agriculture and food, pharmaceuticals, and building products.

This high-speed keynote is a collaboration between Ivo Polders (Nouryon, Oaklane Consulting), Pepijn Karsmakers (Azelis, Amp IT Up) and Bas Kleinveld (Orchestrate Group).
