Rajesh Janey,
President for EMC's India & SAARC, EMC
Today, the digital universe in India is nearly doubling in size every two years and is bound to multiply 9-fold between 2014 and 2020. This explosion is majorly caused by proliferation of devices such as PCs and smartphones due to the decline in the cost of technology and an increase in Internet, and uptake of services such as social media, and developments like city-wise video surveillance, and digitization of TV, among others. Within enterprises, it is driven by BYOD, use of technologies like Web 2.0, virtualization, etc and applications like CRM, ERP and database analytics, etc. Also, there has been an increase in the adoption of IT to address changing consumer and policy expectations, growing cyber-threats, and drive greater competitiveness for business in a flat economy. EMC is working with various stakeholders to reach the ultimate goal of digitizing India, and at an enterprise level by providing better solutions across storage, server and network level which lowers the operational costs and diverts their budgets into revenue generation projects. EMC provides customizable storage and networking solutions that would help and organization grow without having to worry about the security of the information the organization is trying to protect.
Technology adoption is a catalyst not only for growth among India’s micro, small and medium enterprises, but for the growth of the Indian economy as a whole. Also, according to the EMC’s Privacy Index report, India is a relative new comer to the Internet world and, thus, everyone is lapping it up. There is greater willingness to share and trade information for better services from consumer, and e-commerce sites. We need to take care of small yet grave issues such as of password renewals and of reading all online documents carefully to avoid cybercrimes, and unfortunate incidents of hacking as well. Once such issues are addressed, I am sure India would be fully digitized in a short span of time.
