Highlights Of Past Conclaves
Every business is getting uberized right now!
In a way, it reflects how technology has taken the driver’s seat and has completely changed the taxonomy of enterprise computing.
Organisations of all hues are harping onto it to stay relevant in the marketplace. A new broader set of capabilities is required to help enterprises navigate the digital disruption.
Digital transformation today is the talking point. Transformation is not just about updating your technology, but about upgrading your strategic thinking. But digital is sometimes called a double-edged sword, a judicious blend of technology and strategy that comes in concert to create a seamless interconnect of many things within and outside the organisation. For born in the cloud companies, digital is a given hygiene factor as they do not have any legacy baggage, but companies from traditional verticals, it becomes quite challenging to put in place a digital roadmap.
Against this backdrop, ASCENT eConclave 2021 aims to focus sessions and insights around fast moving technology trends, digital transformation strategy and best practices from Thought Leaders and Change-makers.
