HCL's Global Customer Meet – 'Explore & Transform' 2007 extended the heritage of the previous two 'Explore & Transform' events in much broader and splendid manner. The Taj Palace Hotel at Delhi on 29-30th October 2007 witnessed one of the biggest events any company ever organized for its customers. The event was graced by more than 300 CxOs, who agreed, debated, and contradicted on some of the burning and relevant issues of the technology business.

Powered with the theme of 'collaborative transformation', this year's event built further on the foundation laid in the earlier two events to chart a path for future. Some of the most powerful industry leaders discussed the power of collaboration and how it can bring transformation to the enterprise of future. The topics of discussion were designed around themes of specific interests - Sourcing, Technology, and New World. More than 50 speakers including eminent analysts, academics, and CxOs from versatile industries stormed the mind of all the attendees when they debated on – Multi sourcing vs. Sole sourcing; Big Bang Offshore transition vs. Phased Transition; Global Single Instance; Master Data Management; Visionary Middleware; Sustaining the India advantage, service oriented architecture (SOA), software as a service (SaaS), etc. A huge pavilion set up outside the main conference hall showcased HCL's Services Plus offerings – where the attendees got an opportunity to better understand the HCL's 'Thinking IT Framework' services and had one-on-one discussion with the subject matter experts.

Besides the two days of mind-boggling discussions, the event also allowed for plenty of networking with industry peers in a warm and friendly environment. This time the stage was set-up to give you the true experience of the long golden heritage of Delhi - the city that takes proud in its culture, tradition, and food; the city that has an amalgamation of traditional and modern societies.

'Explore & Transform' could not be complete without warm and rocking evenings. When people from all over the world are together for two days – how could we not have let them Explore India in its full splendor? The meet witnessed high energy and spell binding performances from Asia's one of the most celebrated choreographer, Shaimak Dawar. A troupe of Bollywood dancers flew in specially to entertain all our guests along with some shining stars from Bollywood to give us truly memorable experience.

After all, partnership is all about working, winning and enjoying together.
