‘Businesses that fail to invest in new technology gets flushed out of competition’

Commitment as a Tech Head
I would say a CIO or CTO plays a very important role in business growth nowadays. Technology is the prime tool for growing any business, making it the most important factor to get it right. Any business that fails to invest in its IT infrastructure becomes inefficient and loses out to competitors; companies that overinvest in the wrong technology can face the same problem.

Experience Cell
This is true that the world is changing and at the same time technology too is changing. But that is what keeps us going. The only way to get with the pace is to learn every day. Some of the values are based on our skills of what we can do in business.

With such a delicate balancing act standing between success and failure, it’s clear that chief information officers (CIOs) are incredibly important for growth. Some of the values that we add for business are-
• Creating business value through technology
• Strategic planning of business growth objectives
• Ensuring the tech systems and procedures leading to outcomes in line with business goals

Adaptability to Organizational Changes
Digitization has resulted in the emergence of hybrid IT environments in most companies, in which the applications are located in classic IT systems and different cloud platforms. This is the perfect scenario for the dynamic IT landscape. That’s because a flexible IT landscape offers flexible and dynamically scalable IT resources for supporting classic and cloud-based IT, with standardized, pre-configured databases, appropriate middleware and business applications that are available at short notice.

Investment Plans for FY 18-19
For me the below areas will be on priority for the IT budget –
• Cyber security
• Cloud services
• Software
• Big data analytics
• Internet of Things
