The drive to improve performance, consolidate costs and achieve ambitious business goals has never been greater. At Elgin White, we have seen unprecedented demand from North American investment managers for specialist advisory consultancy and managed services support.

The event will be held at the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort near Austin, Texas and the “Navigate the Transition to the Cloud and Everything-as-a-Service” panel will run on September 20, 2022, from 11.45 am to 12.30 pm.
