“Digitization accelerated by the COVID pandemic in the last two years is making every company a technology company”

CIO priorities for 2022
Shortage of skilled manpower or skill gap is the number one problem facing the industry today. This problem gets further amplified for the services industry as they are scouting for talent from the limited pool that is hopping jobs or being poached at unrealistic and unsustainable salaries due to project pressures/deadlines.
 

We at RockLadder are trying to address the talent shortage by focusing on the following three areas:

·  Focused on hiring the right talent with the right attitude, passion and alignment towards the organisational goals. We are also looking at talent from outside the industry who possess these attributes and are training them for the job.
·  We are building standardized service offerings through our Managed Security Practice, which can be scaled to multiple customers and managed with fewer professionals.
·  RockLadder apart from the stated goal of “elevating customer experience”, is super focused on building a world-class culture which will be second to none. A culture where people will be treated as equal stakeholders in the company and will be provided a platform to excel, innovate and develop entrepreneurial skills to become world leaders in the years to come.

 

Digitization - opportunities galore
Digitization accelerated by the COVID pandemic in the last two years is making every company a technology company.


This technology led business transformation is also providing a huge impetus to the cyber security industry. On one end where the perimeter is disappearing due to employees working from home/anywhere, vendors/partners accessing systems, proliferation of IoT devices, BYOD policy, is creating new attack surface areas that require to enhance and rework on security architecture. On the other hand, automation/Industry 4.0/connected factories, operational technology (SCADA systems) need to connect to the external world and now needs to not just look at their security compliance but also needs to invest in security solutions and integrate with the larger IT networks and security monitoring solutions to prevent and respond to threats in real time.

 

IT: The Future of India
The Indian IT narrative is strong. 2021 numbers were robust, with $200+ billion in revenue and a growth rate of 15.5%. This has provided a huge momentum and will likely continue through this decade. With the Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat campaigns and the Venture Capitalists focusing and pumping in a lot of money in the Indian startup ecosystem, we will see more technology companies emerging out of India and competing with the world. The next 10 years will belong to India and the IT industry will create millions of jobs not just in India but the world over.
