Technology Senate and awards day 2: Kalyani Group, L&T and Tata Steel present their digital roadmap

The day 2 of the Technology Senate saw three prominent speakers from the enterprise end user community talking about their massive adoption of emerging technologies like IoT, cloud, AR, analytics, RPA, etc. The keynote speaker Jayanta Banerjee, Global CIO, Tata Steel, defined Industry 4.0 as connected workforce, connected assets and connected operations, which dovetails into the company’s focus on clubbing IT and Digital together. The digital transformation at Tata Steel is business led and not technology led. A top down approach is a strong determinant for any digital transformation programme to succeed.
