SEE (Smart Enterprise Exchange) was launched in India by UBM (United Business Media) India (thru Network Computing) and CA (Computer Associates) with an event titled “The power of lean IT” at Hotel Oberoi, Bangalore
I gave the keynote address where I talked of the need to look all over for savings – data center (servers, storage & networking), software, customer equipment (PCs, laptops, smart phones) and services- and to look for million opportunities to save a dollar than looking for an opportunity to save a big one million dollar in one place
Laxman Badiga, CIO Wipro talked of 40+ percent savings in transportation & communication; this was further elaborated by Kenny Kesar, VP, Wipro.
Peter Waterhouse, Strategy Advisor, CA who flew in from Australia talked of the learnings from manufacturing.
There was an interesting Panel discussion with N Nataraj, CIO, Hexaware, V Balakrishnan, CIO, Polaris Software and Amit Chatterjee, MD CA India moderated by Val Souza, Editorial Director, UBM India
All in all it was an educative event
Interesting coincidence – I got a copy of NR Narayana Murthy’s recent book “A better India – A better world” as a gift; only yesterday IUCEE gave me a copy as a present for my talk on “Why teaching is exciting?”
