Cloud at the Core is not only a technological advancement today; it’s a cultural shift towards business transformation.

How Sify's ‘Cloud At The Core' Is Enabling Digital Transformation

India has moved towards a digital-first economy and is on an unprecedented growth trajectory with digital as the key ammunition. The country’s digital infrastructure is coming to life owing to policy changes and innovation in delivering citizen services with technology as a key enabler. Make in India, a powerful initiative to foster GDP growth is inspiring businesses, large and small alike to reimage their processes and re-think their technology architecture.

TECHNOLOGY AS A KEY ENABLER: CLOUD IS LEVELLING THE PLAYING FIELD

With the power of cloud and network forming the backbone, sophisticated analytics, blockchain and other such technologies, are changing how organizations deliver personalized intelligent experiences to customers. Imagine a future where technology can predict the outcomes of a surgery in a hospital. Robots today already help humans in a lot of labor-intensive tasks, imagine robots enhancing productivity of shop floor of a manufacturing unit and using Artificial Intelligence to make India the manufacturing hub of the future for the globe, providing the most intelligent connected products.

And Cloud has moved beyond being simply a technology and has transformed into a way of doing business. enterprises can increasingly consume IT without the constraints of having to build and maintain its underlying infrastructure. Cloud is embedded into the enterprise fabric today. Across almost all industries, cloud has moved from being a competitive advantage to competitive parity. The cloud adoption strategy, however, must not be limited to just building foundational technologies or opting for cloud-like hosting services.

As enterprises lower dependency on internal resources to maintain IT infrastructure and shift focus to outcomes in the business strategy, this demands that organizations incorporate business requirements with the Cloud at the Core.
