THE 19TH EDITION OF TECHNOLOGY SENATE, the flagship annual CIO forum by Express Computer, took the conversation on the digital transformation of enterprises a notch further
Organised on June 20and 21, 2019 in Pune, this year’s edition ofTechnology Senate focused on digital transformation of enterprises enabled by emerging technologies. Encompassing audience from across industries, the conference witnessed numerous speaker sessions and insightful panel discussions.
In his keynote address, Vishant Vora, Chief Technology Officer, Vodafone Idea, said, “Digital is important today, because the customer’s expectation are instantaneous. Along with technological advancements, the talks are now focused on segments, instead of mass production. Any digital transformation journey today has several key components – social, mobile, deep analytical capabilities, and cloud. However, the key to digital transformation is about implementation; and cloud should be adopted in a big way, which makes it easier to scaleup processes. Also, organisations need to adopt an agile way of working to become digital enterprises. We need to re-think and re-imagine the existing processes ro enable new ways.”
A key highlight of the conference was a fireside chat with Abhijit Singh, Lead – Strategic Initiatives, Blockchain, ICICI Bank. Engaging in a candid conversation with Srikanth RP, Editor, Express Computer, Singh opined that blockchain will be a game-changer in the digital transformation journey. He also expressed that the quantum impact of digital transformation is not yet being seen. In a more casual tone, Singh spoke about his journey in the technology domain, and threw light of some of the key projects in his career. Informing the audience about his favourite saying, Singh says, “If a man doesn’t master his circumstances, then the circumstances tend to master him.”
