CIO priorities for 2022
To compete in growing competition, one must ensure manual operations are eliminated without affecting safety/quality, however if one can bring in value addition to safety/quality with elimination of process would be one of most preferred outcomes of the whole process.
We realized, many data are available which never got collected and we now started drawing meaningful decisions are taken as a first step. This approach has given us a right focus on what is missing, and we could plan what should be done as part of the future requirements are concerned.
As business is proactive in adapting digital initiatives, means connecting machines, collecting data, drawing meaningful insights for business to take some good business decision. This clearly shows that if we are compromised on security, the whole manufacturing will come to standstill, so big priority for CIO’s is to plan security is also planned when any digital initiatives are conceived. To be honest, CIO’s should be data security officer first and then only they should go for any digital initiatives to protect the organization data.
Digitization - opportunities galore
Transformation is more meaningful when interest in adapting technology is felt by business users, which is a fact post pandemic era. Changing the role of IT is very minimal in the present circumstance, because, post pandemic, business users are ready to embrace new ways of doing things with the right kind of mind frame.
This new approach of business function is pushing the IT department to think in different ways, the solutions are more meaningful and are addressing the requirements of the business owners.
IT: The Future of India
India as for R&D was very weak a few years back. We have slowly moved up the ladder and we started developing new products. The new start-up ecosystem is a good example, where we think, design, develop and deploy the same across the globe. In the next three to five years, the amount of growth we are going to see is in the manufacturing industry along with the government push to do Make in India will change how manufacturing is going to happen in the future. Manufacturing embracing IoT, Industry 4.O which is the game changer, which will contribute to compete the global competition.
Manufacturing should create a platform for IoT and Industry 4.0 so that one is agile to accommodate changing international demand. By adapting such a platform, it will be much easier for manufacturing to scale up with minimum risk and maximum growth.
