Indian executives also led their Asian colleagues in placing Cloud Computing as an important element of their digital transformation strategy, it said. The study polled business leaders working in mid-sized and large organisations from 13 Asia Pacific countries. Among Indian respondents, there was a high number CEOs, followed by Chief Digital Officers. “Digital transformation is not just about digitisation of processes it is about business leaders re-envisioning existing business models and embracing a different way of bringing together people, data, and processes to create value for their customers through systems of intelligence,” Microsoft India President Anant Maheshwari said.
He said, today, cloud powered technologies such as IoT, AI and advanced data analytics are creating limitless possibilities in transforming the way people work, live and play.
