Dataquest Technology Innovation Summit & Awards held recently in Mumbai deliberated on the impact of disruptive technology forces and best practices

New IT For New Normal


Every enterprise in order to survive and thrive in the digital economy needs to have a wellmeshed emerging tech strategy. They need to seamlessly integrate the new with the old, and in some cases completely overhaul legacy IT. Emerging tech is the key spoke in the digital hub. The CIO has to ensure that emerging tech initiatives have a clear business case – in terms of operational efficiency and/or new revenue opportunities. This may include considering how connected products can be monetized and how the value of data can be leveraged. More than having a longterm roadmap, experts say that it is more beneficial to take an agile approach, which facilitates rapid cycles of experimentation and evaluation.

This is what Dataquest Technology Innovation Summit & Awards held recently in Mumbai decoded.

The conference on the theme: Adoption of New IT for the New Normal, was curated with the aim to unravel the adoption of emerging tech dynamics both from the supply and demand side of things.

The conference also celebrated leading CIO, CDO’s and business heads who have inked a successful emerging tech strategy and applied to their respective business domains. While NextGen Digital leaders are all about how CIOs/CDOs have applied emerging tech into their IT organisation. Meanwhile the Change Agents award is all about how tech business heads have used emerging tech to change their business delivery and upped the service efficiencies. The awards were given by distinguished academician Dr. D B Phatak, Professor, CSE, IIT Bombay, who was also the Guest of Honour for the event.
