The business-facing CXO

Businesses cannot continue doing things the traditional way. Existing technologies are constantly being updated and new technologies are been introduced. Technology adoption is closely tied to a company’s success and competitive edge and there is a need to continuously assess and adopt relevant technologies that can streamline IT and business operations. The technologies adopted also need to be sufficiently nimble to address sudden requirements.

Omdia conducted a global survey to understand the C-suite view of what the most relevant digital technologies will be in today’s digital era. Data analytics, cloud, AI and machine Learning feature high on the list. The network is the essential element that ties all these technology solutions together. Networks have a direct impact on the success or failure of digital initiatives.

Join us to experience a seamless transformation of your network with our expertly designed and deployed SD-WAN solutions and discuss potential synergies with Tata Communications & HPE team at the event. That’s not all – we empower you with complete visibility and control of your implementation. Elevate your application performance with policy optimization and enhancing user experience.
