Kamal Nath, CEO of Sify, discusses how companies should operate in the post-pandemic era. He suggests that CIOs should focus on building new business-aligned cost models, configuring disaster recovery platforms and BCPs, enabling remote working, redesigning the corporate network, and migrating to the cloud. According to Foundry’s 2023 State of the CIO Research, technology initiatives such as security/risk management, data/business analytics, cloud migration, application systems/pre-existing modernization technologies, machine learning/AI, and customer experience are expected to drive the majority of IT investments in 2023. Kamal emphasizes the importance of cloud adoption and digital adoption models, and suggests that CIOs should take on the role of digital innovators.
