Digital Connections

Student: Gad Nishimwe, 2022-2023

As Avanade is the leading provider of innovative digital, cloud, and advisory services, industry solutions, and design-led experiences across the Microsoft ecosystem. For my capstone project, I'm currently working with Avanade. This IT consulting firm helps companies utilize the Microsoft cloud platforms to drive innovative digital transformations. I will be working on identifying and understanding how the physical consumer product companies must adapt, evolve or transform to keep pace with the changing consumer expectations to digitally connected mesh and also by mapping the experiential changes that must come with this transformation and the avenues to achieve this from a technology evolution that comes in stride with the company’s core business model. My core responsibilities will include performing the product company analysis, doing market research analysis, and conceptual ideas by choosing one of the companies and working with them to create an initial concept. I’m excited to take a lead in the development of a go-to-market strategy and the commercialization of the technology evolution.
