Overview
The second day of ARC Advisory Group's sixteenth India Forum for the process and discrete industries, Digitizing and Securing Industry, Infrastructure, and Cities from July 5-6, 2018 in Bangalore, continued with the same zeal and audience interest generated on the first day. ARC structured the Forum to disseminate information effectively and provide the over 250 delegates with an opportunity to network, understand market trends, and plan their respective digitization journeys.
Business pressures are driving manufacturers to implement new technologies and processes and become real-time integrated enterprises. No longer can organizations operate in silos; collaboration at all levels is the norm. Some companies already have a strategy for digital transformation, along with a realizable roadmap. This digital transformation will be widespread with far-reaching impact as it integrates information technology (IT), operational technology (OT), engineering technology (ET), and other services. The presentations on the second day of the Forum made it evident that new approaches are disrupting established business models; and to keep pace it is imperative to adopt these new strategies and processes. The presentations and lively Q&A sessions reiterated that:
- Digital transformation is gaining momentum across all industries and innovative companies are disrupting the status quo
- Digitization enables manufacturers to achieve operational excellence
