KEY PRIORITIES OF 2020
Every financial year we submit an IT road map with tentative budget and solutions to be implemented which will align with our business. We decided to start digital transformation journey by implementing new technologies considering our previous and traditional business practices. But due to COVID-19, IT roadmap has changed to run and maintain the business continuity in lockdown period. We focus on Cloud technologies, WFH, Cyber Security, better network connectivity, Collaborative solutions to be implement. We started evaluations
of SAP Hana implementation, Cloud CRM, Cloud DMS, HRMS solutions etc. Once basic solutions are in place then will start planning on Industry 4. 0 related solutions.
We also decide to focus on employee health & security and increase their productivity by implementing best practices and cost effective solutions across the group in 2020-21 financial year.
But it depends on how industry scenario change post COVID. Most of the industries are facing financial crunches or budget issues hence it depends on budget approvals and government financial support in this CORONA pandemic situation.
COMBINING BREAKTHROUGH & FUSION APPROACH
Due to lockdown, the mind-set of the industry has changed and we believe that there will be a tremendous change in industry cultures. It transformed the organizations. Now, new technologies not only automate the processes also give the better monitoring and control on business. WFH, virtual meeting trend will start in manufacturing industries too. Those employees whose physical presence are required for them a secure environment needs to provide which will be an additional cost of the company. It will also change the traditional SOP’s, KRA, KPI and needs to change the company polices to balance work and Life.
“Upto FY 2019 most of the IT focus was on premise solutions but due to lockdown, company focusing on WFH technologies and solutions. It change the mind-set not only for external customers but also internal Customers and other stakeholders.
We planning less dependency on in house team and most of the business process migrated on cloud. We have started evaluation of products and changing our existing IT policies. BCP and DR plan already in process involving our key business users by collecting their day to day activities and dependencies on technologies if any.”
