Transformation in Industry
Like CHANGE, ‘TRANSFORMATION’ is fundamental! With coming up of contemporary technologies viz Digital, AI/ML, RPA, SMAC, IoTetc the speed of transformation as well as expectations, both have moved northwards. There is a paradigm shift in the way corporates, governments and for that matter ordinary citizens are consuming services whether it’s booking a transport or doing banking or the way technology is helping with (natural/ man made) disasters – case in point is the recent million+ people evacuated during Fani cyclone.
The upcoming transformation will be more on how we are making things simpler for our business and delivering services to our customers albeit SECURELY. This doesn’t mean traditional technologies will go away rather it will be co-existence with many of them gradually, if not already, moving to Cloud.
TECHNOLOGY FORECAST
4C is the mantra i.e. Coexist, Cocreate, Correlate and Cooptfor the future. We will see this 4C principle being adopted speedily by technologies across the spectrum with a clear focus on delivering value in shortest time. Hand held devices will further evolve as 5G gets rolled out and more &more services will get rendered through it, Dockers, Kubernetes, HCI, SDWAN will make roll out scalable, robust, faster and scalable, with evolution of ML and NLP getting answers with higher accuracy using natural language queries will become the norm or for that matter will be the Artificial Intelligence empowered/ assisted decisions. While all stated above happens, we (technologists, corporates and governments)have to keep two aspects under consideration i.e. howwe can democratize information and how we can preserve as well as disseminate securely.
FUTURE OF CIOS
Many times obituaries have been written, no pun intended, CIOsare staying!With all functions and processes getting more and more digitalized, they are going to become more prominent and may be called by different names viz Chief Involvement/ Influencer/Investment/ Invoicing officer etc. Visible change has started happening as world is now seeing that it is not the business which is driving the technology rather technology which is driving the business. Hence if you have a technical background and understand business then companies are looking at CIOs as their future CEOs.
“Keep doing great work and keep innovating while keeping two aspects in perspective ‘did I make a needle change for my organizationtoday and how am I making a difference for my organization’.”
