With high demand for the efficiencies, automation and innovation promised by GenAI headlines, IT organizations must undertake several practical steps in advance to achieve these outcomes, including modernizing legacy systems while investing in new GenAI capabilities, upskilling the workforce and adopting product-centric IT cloud operating models.

HCLTech offers CloudSMART as the framework businesses can harness to achieve profitability, revenue growth and competitive differentiation, leveraging all the capabilities of hybrid cloud while addressing ongoing complexities such as scalability, repeatability, automation, consistent quality and security.

Embedded in the HCLTech CloudSMART framework are hybrid and public cloud native capabilities that target these complexities by providing holistic industrialized services, factory model delivery and a signature workshop, ‘Ideas to Impact’. It encourages collaboration between the business and IT to explore, plan, execute and validate projects for the ethical development, deployment and governance of cloud-dependent AI technologies.

Through these innovative workshops, experts and industry principals strategize with clients and guide them through the steps needed to accelerate their ability to modernize their infrastructure, modernize or build new AI applications and even reinvent commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) applications. The workshop documents goals, existing infrastructure, application estate and operational challenges to define and execute a proof of value. Clients avoid costly false starts that chip away at budgets and distract them from mission-critical objectives.
