“The objective is to obtain the output with minimum investment”

Commitment as a Tech Head
For a PSU, business models are not very flexible, and the decision making process is also long winded. However, use of IT as an effective enabler and driver of the business processes is a key criteria now. There is a paradigm shift from the earlier User driven IT deliveries to IT driven and enabled processes and deliveries, with active support and encouragement from the top management. Specifically, procurement processes have transformed with online tender portals, further upgrading to reverse auction. The government has taken big steps here by launching the Common Public Procurement Portal (CPPP), and now the new Government eMarket (GeM) portal. These are in active use for our tendering activity.

Experience Cell
Exposure to current forums and activity is an effective method of catching up with the latest developments, both in technology and implementation. Once we decide on what technology or process to adopt, the team can be exposed to relevant training.

Key Priorities
Empowering the User in all dimensions is a key focus in driving the IT. Whether it is the ease of fetching information from the databases/applications, collaborating with the team members with effective tools, digging up and linking up relevant documents from myriad sources, providing e-governance tools to enhance efficiency and transparency, everything that adds strength and power to our Users is a priority to us. There is also huge scope in Plant monitoring and management by use of IoT, now that IPv6 is a reality. About 30-40% of the IT budget in coming few years could be allocated to such projects. Cloud solutions are another very appealing arena, where increase in dependence is foreseeable. Document management system integrated with work flow is a powerful solution architecture under active consideration.

Adaptability to Organizational Changes
Flexibility and agility can have its advantages in terms of adoption of new technologies or processes. However, that does not necessarily provide the optimum results and as a PSU it is tough to achieve flexibility and agility. Our tools are a means to our goals and not vice versa. We strike a balance between new adoption, investment protection and the final output of the system. The objective is to obtain the outputs with minimum investment, and further to maximize the output of existing investments.

IT Infrastructure, Applications and Services, all are aligned to support the business initiatives of the organization in 2018-19. Some of the focus areas for investment would be IoT, Cloud and Socials, as described in an earlier point. Access to applications and services while on the move will also be enhanced in various ways like virtual desktops, mobile apps and services. There will be higher emphasis on enhancing agility in meeting requirements with solutions.
