PwC’s SAP Leonardo Digital Experience Center (PLdeX): Helping customers create “Smart Enterprise”

Digital transformations are fuel to any organisation’s long term technology visions but identifying the business value which can be delivered, total cost of ownership and effort estimation still remains a grey area for CIOs due to vulnerability and understanding gaps of new technologies. This limits the technology growth to core ERP, CRM and SRM transformations. In order to bridge this gap and help customers solve important business problems using innovative technologies, PwC India is launching PwC SAP Leonardo Digital Experience Center (PLdeX) in Gurgaon. The Digital Experience center is the new way for business and customers to connect & understand the critical business challenges and design feasible solutions rapidly, ensuring minimum business disruption.

PLdeX brings diverse industry expertise and new age technologies under one roof enabling customers to strategize and execute digital transformations rapidly at reduced effort and cost to achieve milestones of long term IT vision.

Through PLdeX we help clients to take a closer look on the business value that can be delivered through digital transformations, impact on all related partners of organisation and expected direct or indirect returns on investments.
