HCLTech CloudSMART, a consulting and ecosystem-led strategy, transforms the ways HCLTech engages with clients to optimize the value of their cloud investments. HCLTech CloudSMART provides core capabilities to govern, secure and connect clouds while accelerating the modernization of applications and data to power business transformation.
Historically, companies were attracted to cloud’s favorable cost models. This cost-based value proposition is being replaced by positioning cloud as a strategic business enabler. Cloud provides a resilient, agile business platform, enabling organizations to operationalize technologies like GenAI.
CloudSMART established an expanding base of global clients in the last fiscal year. The consistent growth of our cloud revenue is driven by investments made in CloudSMART Industry Solutions and CloudSMART Industrialized Services.
CloudSMART Industry Solutions feature GenAI capabilities and assets developed for emerging industry requirements. The solutions accelerate transformations across industries, including manufacturing, financial services, healthcare, retail and telecommunications. HCLTech Industry Cloud combines industrialized processes and improves on the cloud platform capabilities provided by hyperscalers, HCLTech Ecosystem Partners.
CloudSMART Industry Solutions accelerate time- to-market for clients and provide relationships with hyperscalers. This has led to increased visibility for HCLTech and broader adoption of HCLTech capabilities. Adoption of these solutions provides growth opportunities across all HCLTech business segments, including Digital Foundation Services, Digital Business Services and Engineering and R&D Services.
CloudSMART Industrialized Services enable highly automated, repeatable services that accelerate delivery of core HCLTech capabilities including application migration and modernization, cloud native development, data modernization (which is critical to implementing new GenAI solutions), infrastructure operations and packaged applications like SAP, Oracle and Microsoft Dynamics 365. Using validated architectures, factory-based execution and service unit-based commercial models, these services deliver faster business outcomes.
As multicloud has become the standard for most enterprises, our holistic Industrialized Services are optimizing the financial value of cloud to business outcomes and accelerate the development and implementation of enterprise solutions, which showcase HCLTech’s engineering expertise and HCLTech IP. These services provide predictable outcomes in shorter timeframes, decreasing time-to-value for the client and improving margins for HCLTech. Industrialized Services are preferred by businesses focused on implementing production quality GenAI solutions.
