TRANSFORM-OK-PLEASE

As businesses went A digital with their operations during and post the pandemic, the relevance of cloud transformation has never been higher. It makes sense now to host your business infrastructure in alignment with the business objectives of the organization over cloud as the remote operation continues to hold significance. An IDC info-brief on the 'State of Indian MidMarkets' indicated that 74 percent of Indian enterprises are likely to move applications to the Cloud in 2022.

Seeing a business opportunity in this movement, SAP India on April 12 released a unique initiative facilitating organizations' transition. The company released a bus dubbed as the 'Transformation Express' to advance cloud adoption and drive business transformation for the Indian mid-market.

On the face of it, the bus appears to be a normal yellow school bus that you might see on the street. But when you step inside, it is designed as a hi-tech experience centre, which can facilitate a person's complete learning and understanding of cloud. The bus is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies like RISE with SAP, SAP's digital core, procurement, customer and people experience solutions, providing businesses a front-row view of how they can speed up their cloud migration and digital transformation initiatives.

The company launched the bus on a pan-India journey of 45 days, during which it visited 15 cities. Starting from Delhi, the bus will travel to Gurgaon, Ludhiana, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Baroda, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Coimbatore, Kochi, and Bangalore. In total the journey would be of 7,000 kms. For each kilometer the bus travels, the company has pledged to plant one sapling.
