Responsibilities of the CIO
Every organization has a different expectation from the role of CIO/CTO. There are organizations which only look at traditional CIO/CTO to handle daily operations and innovations. With the advent of industry 4.0, the board is expecting CXO to be a visionary technology athlete who can be good at numbers and embrace growth of the organization. Cost reduction and innovation has been one of the key result areas for a CXO while in future business transformation and digital simplicity would be a key differentiator for CTO.
Key priorities for 2021
There is a substantial shift in digital mandate. There is a huge push to improve Work from Home - Tools for employees’ seamless working. Access to data and security has got high priority. Employee mental health and flexible working are catching the top management. Entire hire to retire (digital onboarding and retirement) is getting high importance.
Adopting Work-From Anywhere
Being a cloud friendly company it was easy for us to move into the ecosystem of new normal. Frequent testing of business continuity and disaster recovery was key to success, which also helped us to sail through this complete transformation from Prem working to work from home in a short span. Technically we did not have any challenges except for employees who had to be trained and managed remotely for support and fault management. Besides these initial teething problems we managed to completely move our workforce to work from home solutions without much struggle.
Redesigning IT & Security strategy
In the current scenario emerging technologies are impacting every business including their data and their critical infrastructure. Strategically we have put in place solutions as per best practices followed by many companies. We basically focused on how to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data and subsequently after much brainstorming, we put in place people, processes, technologies which helped our organization in achieving short, medium and long term business goals.
