Technology may be the enabler of great modern customer experiences, but it’s human knowledge and creativity that deserve all the credit. As we usher in a new decade of enterprise transformation fueled by mounting employee and customer experience expectations, the need for brands to use blended team skills across strategy, technology and design has never been more important.

Since talent is our most precious asset, I’m thrilled to announce that 12 Avanade team members are receiving the title of 2020 Sitecore MVP.
