Digitization paving way for opportunities...
As the country is getting increasingly connected, businesses both large and small are coming together in the name of digitization and the development of products that support IP, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi interfaces is accelerating, opening doors to new business models. Companies have begun to focus on complementary solutions that overcome interoperability, security and privacy challenges.
India is well on its way to becoming one of the largest digitized countries in the world and Cisco believes that opportunities lie both in private as well as government sector given the huge surge in mobile devices, Internet connectivity along with digital services, all of which will need massive networks and infrastructure upgradation and creation. Potential opportunities from digitization span across industry segments and include, but are not limited to the public sector, manufacturing, education, banking and healthcare in addition to Smart cities.
During its 22 years in the country, Cisco India has contributed to filing 1000 global patents and 600 such patents have been issued for innovations across all major technologies. Spanning the areas of mobility, cloud and computing technologies, its products in networking have been designed to enable the digital transformation of enterprises that rely on technology-enabled networks to exchange digital value, including data and transactions.
Cisco Brand campaigns themed under the banner of “Digitizing India”, a transformational platform, was conceptualized to recognize and celebrate India’s digital journey. The campaign has focused on game changers, pioneers and players who epitomize digital disruptions and provided an opportunity for newer companies to assess and recognize the technology solutions that can help them design their own transformational blue prints.
Technology trends to look for...
Two key technology areas are bound to disrupt the business world like never before –
• AI is no more a fad. It is real and it is happening now! And what’s more it has made entry into the world of business. Processes and tasks are being automated and AI start-ups are driving enterprise adoption
• Blockchain as a disruptor in the payments/financial space is well known. But experts believe it has the power to disrupt any business that has a middleman component. Imagine the effect of block-chain on a services-oriented business.
