Budgeting for Technology in Uncertain Times

It is quite challenging for businesses to forecast consumer behavior in the current environment given the ongoing uncertainty fueled by the pandemic and the associated economic impact. This is in addition to the uncertainty usually inherent in election years in the US and constantly evolving consumer demand patterns. Consumer focused businesses, especially in retail, CPG, travel and hospitality have had to rapidly react and adapt to these changing conditions. Organizations that have invested in technological and operational agility have been better able to weather the change. Now they are faced with critical decisions around upcoming investments that will likely have a significant impact on their future. While there are no simple answers, UST Global has helped several consumer businesses navigate the uncertainty and can provide you with a blueprint for addressing these critical decisions.
