PREPARING FOR NEXT ERA OF INNOVATION

Cloud-native technologies coming into play has opened up avenues for the manufacturing industry to invent and innovate. The article throws light on the impact of cloud on manufacturing and the momentum it can set in.

 India’s manufacturing industry has made significant strides in 2022. Data for October showed that the sector was expanding at a rapid and

robust pace, the seasonally-adjusted S&P Global India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) was up from 55.1 in September to 55.3 in October. And this is part of an 18-month upward trend. This growth has translated into additional work and a strong rise in manufacturing employment.

Against this backdrop, how are organisations within the market adapting their business models and processes to sustain this added demand? Ramping up digital transformation initiatives is certainly a critical component to embedding greater agility and flexibility into operations and responding to changing customer needs.

More specifically, the move to cloud-native technologies is enabling a new wave of innovation in the industry. Organisations are moving towards a modern application stack to increase development velocity and deliver more intuitive and personalised digital experiences to customers and employees.

But this process cannot be rushed, and manufacturers mustn’t overlook the need to equip their technologists with the tools and insights required to deliver accelerated innovation. They must ensure that their IT teams have a full and unified

visibility into dynamic cloud-native environments so that they can manage and optimise IT availability and performance at all times. It allows technologists to move beyond the firefighting to take a more proactive and sustainable approach to innovation.
