The key priority is to consolidate core IT infrastructure and systems
Commitment as a Tech Head
In today’s business environment no business model works without a component of e-enablement in it. It would be unfair to think any new business strategy without input coming from CIO. We are well aware of the traditional business modules that are getting replaced overnight with new way of operating in the same segment. Therefore it sets new challenges. Its new set of challenges for CIO is to drive organization and business strategy, with transformative approach to create value for customer as well as for the organization. My personal take is to be more active and play the role of contributor in articulating business strategy.
Experience Cell
In this emerging business environment new skill and different thinking is key. It is challenging to keep upgrading the people on role. Therefore we have designed an approach to mitigate it with involving start-ups as well as service provider partners, to bring in the new skills and technologies with new thinking in it, and internal team to manage the project and support the adoption.
Key Priorities
We have been recently acquired by a Japanese Joint known as JTEKT Corporation, which has many subsidiaries in India and now all of them fall under the same umbrella. My immediate priority is to consolidate core IT infrastructure and systems. This will help the organization to leverage best process and capabilities at regional areas. The emphasis would be for the next two to three years to enable integration with Global systems and processes. The other area would be security and compliance. Once we are through with the robust core system deployment, the next phase would be to focus on agility and scalability of systems to drive transformation and efficiency.
Adaptability to Organizational Changes
There are various models and approaches that can be considered to bring flexibility to IT landscape but we should always keep in mind that without robust base core system we won’t be able to achieve it. Organization need to synchronize its IT strategy with business strategies and decide options like what needs to be where, no doubt cloud, IoT and AI are much discussed topics in the business community but it requires careful assessment to fit into overall strategy.
For JTEK India more projects would be towards consolidation of business applications with new implementation, security and infrastructure would be another area for focus right now. The emphasis would be for the next two to three years to enable integration with Global systems and processes. The other area would be security and compliance. Once we are through with the robust core system deployment, the next phase would be to focus on agility and scalability of systems to drive transformation and efficiency.
