ENERGIZING DELIVERY PARADIGM IN A DIGITAL WORLD

CONVENTION CENTER HOTEL GRT GRAND, T.NAGAR CHENNAI - 18

Introduction The digitization of global business has created a clear separation between the winners and laggards. Winners get to keep the major portion of the pie while the laggards get to eat only the crumbs. In the last 5 years, 50% of Forbes 2000 companies churned out of Forbes 2000 list due to digital disruption. As a result, digital capabilities have started to play an important role in the survival and sustenance of enterprises.

Indian IT (services and products) & BPM Industry has been in the forefront of designing and implementing next generation delivery practices and high maturity models with proven capabilities to handle large projects as well as SAAS models to cater to the various business requirements of global customers. However of late, the rate at which the Digital technologies & trends including SMAC, IOT, Big Data, 3D Printing, Cognitive Computing, Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality, Machine learning, Agile, Devops, XAAS, Cyber Security etc. have begun to evolve and in some cases “disrupt” existing ways of doing things have made our global customers to take notice and figure out ways to prepare for this transition.

The above trends, technologies and business process changes combined together have increasing potential to be a big “game changer” for the Industry itself in terms of Engineering, Quality Assurance, Infrastructure management, Risk management, Talent management, Cyber security, Customer engagement etc.

SPICON 2016” to be held on 18th & 19th Nov 2016 at Chennai will provide an opportunity to review the current delivery practices prevailing in the IT and BPM industry in the context of evolving “Digital Technologies and Digital Business” and the fast changing preferences & expectations from global customers.
