At a time when there are multiple technologies and their diverse applications available in the market, how do you strategize an integration program that assists the business in their operations? “The mantra to being a successful CIO is to stay connected to the business.”

Integrating Business With Technology Vipul Anand Senior Vp – It Hindware Industry, Sanitaryware

Which business opportunities do you think you can get the most value for your investment by applying Digital Transformation Technologies?

Hindware is a 58 years old organization. Apart from the popular Sanitaryware business, Hindware has seven other businesses under its group. The company has been investing in technology for many years. The management has now realised that this is the time to synergize the entire IT investments that we have made and to integrate everything. My role here is to integrate all the eight businesses using the best of the Technologies.

When it comes to Technology, we have the SAP system in place for our transactions. But over and above we have also built up a lot of Analytics there. So, the business decision making across the Globe is actually happening based on the transactions which are coming from SAP and on the Analytics form the online dashboards. So, we have gone on to enable all these dashboards on mobile devices, so that the business owners are able to take a quick decision.

We have also moved on to Hybrid Cloud. So, in addition to having our own in-house data centres, we also have a cloud body. The Hybrid model has enabled us to be faster in our operations. Specifically in the areas of Sales, Marketing and Logistics, we have been able to bring out new systems using latest Automation tools and Cloud solutions.

What is the need for this Integration? How has Technology been helping you in the process?
