Rijo George Thomas
Research Manager, Enterprise Application Services, IDC Asia/Pacific Software & Services Research Group
Vishal Ghariwala
Chief Technology Officer, APJ and Greater China, SUSE

A key differentiator in the transformation strategy moving forward is going to be the software innovation that is led by digital-first enterprises. The pace of innovation will largely depend on how well executives, developers and IT operations stakeholders work together.

As per a recent IDC software survey, 60% of enterprises in India indicated that they have developed a software-driven product or service that has led to a new business opportunity. This trend is driving organizations to accelerate software innovation ecosystems that help them deliver better on customer, employee & partner expectations.  A critical roadblock in an enterprise’s ambition to scale software-driven innovations is the challenge from legacy applications and the lack of modern development practices. In this session, we will have a dynamic discussion on how to navigate the challenges and opportunities that tech buyers have in this space.

It also presents an opportunity for the CIO to showcase the value IT organization can bring towards fulfilling the ESG vision. In this presentation we will look at the pivotal role a CIO plays using data as a key enabler in fast tracking ESG goals.
