Cognitive computing and cloud platforms will change the future of the business
As businesses and governments embark on their digital transformation journey, cognition changes how they engage with their clients.
Enterprises need cognitive solutions that turn vast amounts of data into insights and competitive advantage. They need access to a cloud platform, not only for IT capability, but for speed and agility. To understand this aspect of customer centricity with digital transformation and more, the Delhi chapter of Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) recently organized an interactive session with IBM India Managing Director Karan Bajwa.
According to Bajwa, the architecture of any such platform must be a hybrid, spanning both public and private clouds, because businesses will want to leverage their existing investments in applications, IT infrastructure and, most of all, their data. In short, to win in the cognitive era, data matters. Businesses control their data and insights matters.
In the session, the attendees got a deeper understanding of how Cognitive Computing and Cloud Platform solutions can help companies unleash a new era of innovation and growth. Bajwa also talked in depth about IBM's strategy in India to make digital transformation a reality for businesses.
"IBM's discussions have always been rooted in the fact that the industry is completely reordering. This era of Cognitive and Cloud will change the way business and societies operate. In this era, our clients are going to make three key architecture decisions that is going to determine the course for the next 25 years - cloud, data architecture and artificial intelligence,'' said Bajwa in a statement.
Drawing upon a specific use case - Cognitive Fashion, IBM Research India, Director Sriram Raghavan shared insights on how Cognitive solutions can help enhance a customer's retail browsing or buying experience, while IBM India/South Asia Partner, Digital, Kurup Prasad presented on how Digital transformation is not about the technology, but more about the organization's aspirations for their customers, employees, and ecosystem.
"There is a tremendous amount of learning that we receive from leaders like Karan Bajwa. This session helped us better comprehend how businesses are done differently, and I am sure a lot of EO members would start thinking on those lines to scale their businesses to greater heights," said EO Delhi, (Communications Chair), Sachin Mehra.
