• Monetization of Data/Information: Digitalization incubated various sources to enrich the corporate with the structured data and it is the time to maximize the utility of data and showcase the ROI of the recent past investment.
• Shortfall of emerging technology skill-set and talent: The penetration of cloud infrastructure-based applications is surpassing the legacy or traditional infrastructure application; engaging from ‘anywhere’ culture, emerging cyber security threats require a new level of skill-set and talent to encounter; So, getting talent and retention of talent will be the top priority for any corporate.
