Adopting Work-From Anywhere
We have started our preparation much before the actual lock down announcement made in March’2020. Some of the initiatives which we have implemented made it possible for our organization to work from anywhere.
In fact, I am proud to inform that we have rolled out and implemented complete SAP S4 Hana 1909 with 16+ SAP modules along with various other applications like Mobile application / platform for our O&M teams (Highways / Power Transmission lines) integrated with SAP, vendor collaboration portal/platform integrated with SAP, implementation of eRFI / eQuality for major contractor works happening across highways which includes quality inspection and auto results from application. Also implemented various other applications to ease business pains, allow to work from any remote location, to avoid as much as paper flows.
Redesigning IT & Security strategy
In order to be future ready, we have adopted many best practices like usage of low code / no code tool platforms for all the new web and mobile applications which would reduce the time to delivery from years / months to months / weeks, allow for quick changes to the dynamic changing business requirements, low maintenance, few resources to manage and maintain.
Though we have implemented various security related tools / projects to strengthen our infrastructure, networking and security, we are going ahead with a very detailed 550 point check list to implement security framework across all our SPV’s (companies). This security framework will consider all the various areas of security (Infra, monitoring, user awareness, trainings, data protection, access controls, SOC etc.).
In order to be more agile, scalable, and resilient and reduce our dependency on our local data centers, we have initiated hybrid cloud approach and already moved couple of critical applications in cloud and the strategy is to maintain hybrid cloud down the line.
We are initiating various change management training programs to all our IT teams as well to adopt to the new reality of quickly learning new technologies, frameworks, changing roles as per business demand, and move towards being part of business and drive solutions instead of receiving the requirements from business and deliver them. More of a proactive and business approach.
Implementation of collaboration platform for communication (chat, video etc.), automation tools like RPA, and applications within O365 to automate the business processes / approvals etc., elimination of entire data in local shared drives is also one of the very important drive which we will continue towards the achieving the overall company IT / business strategy / digital adoption drive.
