Business Bread and Butter and IT breakfast

Editor, Dataquest and PCQuest, Sunil Rajguru set the steam well by opening the theme of the discussionEnhancing user experience with Digital Services, Secure Cloud and Software-defined Network Infrastructure.

He underlined why these areas have become critical-specially as the Fintech revolution is progressing and platforms like UPI etc. are making India a Fintech superpower. But security, network issues, and changing UX due to digital platforms are crucial issues to ponder upon as we unleash more force ahead- he stirred the panel to share their views from their sides of the table.

EXPERIENCE - THE CLINCHER

Core presenter Tirthankar Mitra, CEO-West, Sify Technologies started by identifying one common glue which brings everyone together in the digital transformation paradigm- it's called customer experience. "How your customers experience your services and platform- how is it getting more agile and keeping pace with fast changes - that matters. Whether it's a capital market company, an asset management company or a bank- everyone has been challenged. Customer generation is also quite fragmented. Getting the customer's attention- with your array of services- is an opportunity but also tough when the customer is fiddling with the mobile."

Bright frogs, Monarch butterflies, Black-yellow bees and industrial automation- same thing?

As counter-intuitive as it may sound- Is automation a stupid loud colour to wear that attracts predators because of bigger attack surfaces or is it strangely-aposematic enough to tell the bad actors - stay away? Specially when security is baked in and bold- and ready for any camouflage? And what happens when Quantum and third-party supply chains make their way into industrial forests? We may not have all the answers but how about a purple-team approach to begin with.

AI is not Valyrian. It's the new English.

While it may still be too early for people to say 'Avy jorrāelan' to a technology that is affecting their jobs in more ways than one, it is better if we face our fears with clarity, caution and confidence. How does that advice play out in a function that, itself, decides who works and where?
