Industry Technology Adoption Trends

1

Proof of Concept

Proof of concepts is a great way of getting a taste of real slice of solution. It is useful in cases where-

  1. Application of technology is not proven.
  2. Software being offered is not proven or suitably demonstrated.

Success and exit criteria should be carefully defined.

2

Technology Outsourcing

If technology is not the core of your business and cost vs. benefit of self managing technology does not favor a full team that you can nurture, Outsourcing technology or whole business process is a good option.

Client can best manage flow of goods/services and money, but flow of information can be a shared responsibility, the DIGITAL TWIN.

Cloud Strategy

Managing IT Infrastructure if it comes at cost & hassle greater than benefits, many are finding is not wise. Benefits of PaaS, IaaS, SaaS are many-

  1. reduce cost in many cases
  2. scalable on demand
  3. high availability
  4. secured
  5. the tools ecosystem and integration.

Open Source: Worthy Challengers

Open Source options are worthy of praise and match or sometimes exceed their proprietary counterparts. From Operating Systems, Office suite, Database, Middleware systems, Application servers, Development IDE, Photo Editing, Simulation, Machine Learning, Visualization softwares…the list just goes on.

5

Technology: A Differentiator

Technology is increasingly becoming a key differentiator and Industry benchmarks shows this clearly.

Todays unicorns are more technology companies (Amazon, Uber, AirBnB) and what they serve their customer with.

6

Solution Integration

Point solutions and standalone applications have served well individual processes.

Today shopfloor data being available in boardrooms, social media opinion available to producers, your location available to Uber is empowering businesses to do more, better, faster.

7

AI is Algorithms Running on Steroids

Artificial intelligence is the art of human like intelligence today made possible with high performance computing.

IoT, Machine Learning has been there in forms of Thermostats, Advanced process controls, PLC/SCADA at industrial environments. Cheaper computing and new use cases have pushed these technologies in all walks of life (industrial and consumer space as well).

8

Cycle of Technology becoming Smaller

Consumerism, ample Time and high disposable income is allowing innovators to push new products faster. Launch information can spread instantly across the world, Industrialization ensures mass production at speed, Anything can be ordered online, Logistics ensures across the globe delivery within days.

Innovation and product life cycle both are getting shorter.

9

Force of Startup Ventures

Count and speed of innovation today is better in startups as compared to large companies.

Sheer Passion, Access to information, venture seed funding has put startups at par with large corporations.

Last few decades have seen first generation entrepreneurs exceeding 100 year businesses in wealth and fame and these success stories are in thousands.

IT Projects: Critical Success Factors

1

Need for Complete & Accurate Specifications (RFP)

Clients think in terms of KPI, challenges, reports. IT vendors typically think in terms of database, GUI, feature / functions.

Carefully prepared complete and accurate specifications (in Request for Proposal i.e. RFP) has these advantages-

  1. Apple-to-apple comparison between vendor proposals
  2. Price quotes are not inflated unduly accounting for excess risks that may not be there.
  3. Ambiguity results in friction and delays during project execution. This is the single biggest reason attributed to failed projects.

2

The Right Project Team

Right Team members with functional and right Technical skills, End users and Process champions.

Role wise responsibilities should be defined for each project member.

3

Right Tools & Methods

Wrong software/tools selection often leads to compromise with projects’ business objectives.Patch work requires more maintenance and ultimately results in higher total cost of ownership (TOC).

Choice of Project methodology has to be fit for purpose. Waterfall vs. agile or an hybrid depends on size, development component in project etc.
