The session gave insights to the swiftly changing business landscape and market dynamics. CIOs are actively working to align their IT infrastructure for adaptability. They seek an infrastructure that is not only flexible and agile but can also be effortlessly provisioned, scaled, and reconfigured to keep pace with evolving demands. The journey toward infrastructure transformation initiates with a meticulous assessment of the current IT environment, pinpointing business needs and challenges, and outlining a transparent strategy for transformation. CIOs highlight the importance of revitalizing legacy applications, refining data storage and management, and fortifying cybersecurity measures to foster business agility. In India, where edge computing is gaining prominence, CIOs are dedicated to crafting comprehensive strategies for its adoption, ensuring seamless integration with their cloud strategies. Striking a harmonious balance between public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises infrastructure, CIOs want to tailor their approach based on distinct needs and priorities, encompassing scalability, security, and compliance.
