Pivotal’s Michele Perras talks about her experience as an entrepreneur and Pivotal’s unique, fully immersive software development consulting services and Cloud Foundry, as well as the partnership with Circular Board and Dell Technologies to create Alice.
Transforming your business into a digital business is hard. It requires transforming the company's culture, business processes and, most certainly, the IT organization.
Michele Perras, who leads Strategy and Market Development at Pivotal Labs, understands that and explains that often businesses, even those who never considered themselves technology or software-driven companies, have to learn these skills to stay relevant and move forward on their digital transformation journey.
An entrepreneur and founder of an accelerator herself, Perras shares the key elements of helping companies via a fully immersive, co-location based software development consulting program. Businesses take home replicable best practices for business processes, organizational structures and best tools to use, as well as a new mindset and culture needed to improve efficiency, agility and ability to innovate.
In a groundbreaking project, Pivotal, Circular Board and Dell Technologies partnered to develop an artificial intelligence business platform, Alice. Alice, pushing new frontiers in human machine partnerships, connects female founders in real time with mentors, resources and events that help scale their businesses, constantly improving via machine learning.
