Cloud encourages collaboration
Shyam Enjeti, Executive Vice President, Digital Business at HCLTech, says cloud fosters a culture of collaboration: “In the past, IT was perceived as order takers and business teams would become frustrated with IT because, in the on-prem world, the time to completion could be untenable. However, cloud has changed this perception quite dramatically.
In the world of cloud, IT can act quickly on opportunities identified by the business,” adds Enjeti. “This reduces friction and fosters collaboration. The new model provides the time IT needs to focus on innovation and align to business teams and their initiatives.”
