In the Venetian Expo Centre at AWS re:Invent, Lisa Martin and David Vellante from theCube speak with HCLTech’s Anand Birje and Prabhakar Appana, to discuss the power of the cloud, its potential to drive business transformation, the partnership with AWS and HCLTech’s brand transformation.
As a result, digital transformation has become focused on the ability to change and pivot faster.
This is easier said than done and in larger enterprises, with more complex regulatory environments, the status quo is not easy to change. But, becoming adaptable is critical.
The cloud enables us to adapt and change value chains, so that businesses can better engage with their customers, partners and employees, while also building in composability – the inter-relationship between different systems and components in the enterprise, which can be assembled in various combinations to meet specific user requirements.
Organizations on this journey don’t have to make sweeping changes, but can make changes over time.
Adopting the cloud is essential for digital acceleration.
What’s changed is that they want to do more with less. They want to adapt faster and leverage clouds to operate more cost effectively, build resilience and improve composability.
By deepening our scale and skill sets with the services of AWS, this partnership is accelerating conversations by building tailored industry solutions.
In the cloud, these specific industry solutions can be used from anywhere with scalable options. This capability is igniting a lot of cloud conversations with our clients.
HCLTech is encompassing this cloud journey with CloudSMART. We have developed the CloudSMART strategy across all the HCLTech business segments.
CloudSMART positions AWS Cloud as a business platform and the CloudSMART offerings are designed to enable our clients to realize more value, without the risks of technical debt.
Our go-to-market offering is underpinned by app modernization and consolidation. It is a one stop shop, right from strategy, consulting and implementation.
Another point is that increasingly, a lot of new services are being added to AWS that not many clients are aware of. It is the responsibility of a system integrator, like HCLTech to give the client the ability to consume the service as a low cost, optimized option.
The good thing was that the business was growing, but the needs were changing. They needed to rethink every value chain in the business and had to adopt the cloud. They leveraged AWS at the core to rethink every part of their business, rebuilding their supply chain applications, modernizing their warehouse management systems, modernizing their pricing systems, modernizing their sales and marketing platforms and every other aspect you can think of within 24 months.
To help them do this and minimize technical debt, we offer a complete financial analysis of the cloud adoption, which considers existing technical debt.
The value is being cloud native, which means you want to continuously modernize your value chains by leveraging the cloud.
We are now Supercharging Progress for our customers, partners and employees.
It's our new mantra that reflects our mission to bring the learnings of over 200,000 professionals that work at HCLTech to help clients adopt new technologies and modernize their business strategies to achieve aspirational business goals at velocity.
