What the EY-Parthenon TMT Strategy Consulting team can do for you

Technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) companies are under constant pressure to reinvent themselves in order to stay relevant and seize emerging opportunities. Staying ahead of the competition demands more than adaptation — it requires a bold embrace of rapid technological innovation, a keen understanding of evolving consumer expectations and a commitment to pioneering new products and services. By navigating disruptive business models, adapting to shifting regulations and harnessing the power of analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) for sharper insights and smarter decisions, TMT businesses can thrive in an ever-changing marketplace.

EY-Parthenon teams can help you address your most important questions about excelling in a highly competitive environment:

Transformative strategy

How can we develop and implement a transformative strategy that leverages innovation, R&D and partnerships in cloud computing, cybersecurity, and agentic AI and neurosymbolic AI to enhance growth and market reach?
How can we use a transformative strategy to effectively address the shift toward digital content delivery and streaming services, enhance content personalization and user engagement, and adapt to evolving advertising models and revenue streams?
How can we identify and execute a transformative strategy that prioritizes investment in infrastructure for 5G and Internet of Things connectivity, enhances customer service to reduce churn through improved experiences, and diversify our offerings beyond traditional voice and data services, including smart home solutions?

Transformative transactions

What criteria should we use to evaluate potential acquisition targets that will not only accelerate digital innovation and strengthen core technological capabilities but also provide a competitive edge in rapidly evolving markets?
How can we use a transformative transaction to expand our content libraries, reach new audiences and leverage synergies, leading to cost savings and enhanced market position?
How can a transformative transaction spur a diversification of our services beyond traditional voice and data offerings?
