‘Thinking Differently Amidst the Hype’

The discussion of adopting any one type of IT infrastructure is in a manner clouding the fundamental premise of changing for the better. End-users tend to continue to get carried away with the notion that if its not complex than its not attractive. With numerous models and trends coming to fore, including cloud, hosting and convergence of technologies – IDC thinks this is the right time to bring forth a discussion around transformative ICT. Transformative ICT aims at adopting a revolutionary ICT framework that helps in the alignment of IT with business, better asset utilization and ROI, more robust business continuity, optimizing costs through pay-as-you-go models and building a elastic ICT framework. IDC sees the genesis of benchmark Index's that will help end-users gauge their level of transformation as compared to the industry or their peers. This would guide them towards the adoption of technologies and ICT models that enable rapid transformation as against a silo approach of adopting technology and models that result in point-gains.

IDC would like to lead a discussion with this event to discuss important trends that will help shape the transformative framework for end-users.
