在一个聊天ETCIO.com,思科总裁VC Gopalratnam & CIO国际,谈到了优先级与数字转换,它对公司的影响,还讨论了的期望客户和挑战首席信息官今天正面临着。
编辑摘录……
CIO VC Gopalratnam:几乎每个公司数字化转型,思科也在中间的数字转换。好处是,思科这被特许领导思科的数字转换。所以对我们来说,当务之急是如何驱动转换在未来18 - 24个月。
公司正在改变商业模式从硬件到软件的年金收入。显然想成为亚马逊的云能力的推动者,谷歌和微软的世界。我们所有的产品需要处理仪器和遥测等数码产品嵌入到他们,所以我们听产品的客户是如何使用它们。对我们来说这是一个重点。
和我们如何使安全整个公司和使用分析来帮助我们的,销售和客户体验(CX)团队了解客户在360种场景中,更好的与他们的关系,主动提供服务。这是广泛的业务方面。显然,其他维度是人才。我们非常关注技能提升/ re-skilling——这并不是说人没有的技能,但是如何能够学习技术人才在公司。这是我们的第二个重点。
Q2。什么影响你期望或预见这些优先级在不久的将来吗?
CIO VC Gopalratnam:显然,它将交付的速度——速度——市场(GTM)。这将减少时间要求的业务功能。我认为它会给我们的客户更好的体验,也帮助我们提供他们想要的东西在一个灵活的消费模式,这是他们正在寻找。它也使我们有机会实现技术,思科推出,我们需要在公司内部部署到高档。我们是实际的参考客户的公司,因此我们将测量的一个重要部分是我们如何积极部署技术,我们公司内部销售和高档。
第三季。你会密切与思科合作客户,所以在今天的时间,什么样的期望时,他们正在供应商吗?
CIO VC Gopalratnam:首先,很明显,他们投入了大量遗产基础设施、功能和任何新功能开发,需要能够集成。第二,他们想要的复杂性要删除的方式管理他们也要转让的管理(供应商)。
因此,它成为我们的责任,确保我们的客户环境简化、自动化和很容易因为有很多不同的技术支持。客户还想要开放的技术和他们不想背负着只有优先技术。他们想要你的技术与其他技术,这意味着api变得非常重要的互操作性,开放标准、开放的体系结构和客户正在寻找什么。
客户还希望灵活的消费——他们想买它作为服务,他们不希望资本支出但想运营,他们想购买订阅,等等,实际上不仅是有益的对我们客户也因为它给了我们经常性收入。然后整个事情易于使用和易于支持的一种范式;他们也在寻找客户,谁能工作在生态系统和提供最好的解决方案。
第四季度。在你看来,当今cio在印度正面临什么样的挑战和你有什么建议?
CIO VC Gopalratnam:好了,我们现在面临的挑战是缺乏时间。昨天一切都交付因为世界变化如此之快和业务要求我们尽快交付能力。
所以没有。1challenge is speed and reducing the time to capability and no.2 challenge is to deliver business outcomes for your own company and to impact the customers. Are you helping the company to be more profitable and helping it to grow? Are you helping the company to be more efficient? Are you making it easy for the customers to do business with your company? That is really something they need to focus on.
我认为的第三件事,为了快速行动和提供这种功能,是人才。是否有足够的人才,你会去哪里找人才,如何培养人,让他们在最新的技术工作。对我来说,这是第三个挑战。
第四件事是IT预算,因为它们并不一定增长。尽管技术投资很高,IT预算持平或下降,这意味着您必须能够优先考虑——你不能做任何事,你有做过的,你必须优先考虑这些事情的前提下。
这就是为什么我叫cio——首席财务官和其首席财务官但首席灵活性军官。你不能做的事情的方式,因为它为你工作5年前,这并不意味着它将今天的工作。
那么如何购买和建筑之间的平衡?作为一个简单的例子,但是并不是所有东西都是在内部完成了;你可以买一个能力之外。同时,你不能买一切从外面;你必须有能力在里面。这是这些类型的决定,优先级是一个关键部分,所以购买和建设是非常重要的。
和也很重要不是执着于特定平台或技术和模块化,可以调整设置。这就是为什么我打电话cio——灵活性总监(cfo),因为我们必须穿不同的帽子,你做不同的角色在组织内。
CIO今天有一席之地,因为它被视为一个转换角色来帮助组织数字变换但在那件事,你几乎要叫自己Business-Technologist。因为不仅是首席执行官寻找技术输入从CIO,但希望看到CIO如何可以改变业务使用技术作为关键杠杆。所以商业智慧是非常重要的。

<\/figure> Bangalore: With Cisco<\/a>, taking<\/em> big strides to change its business models from being hardware to software driven, the company is going through a major digital transformation<\/a>. Interestingly, the sole responsibility of charting out this key initiative is with Cisco IT<\/a>, the IT organisation within the company. In a chat with ETCIO.com<\/strong>, VC Gopalratnam, Cisco\u2019s President, IT & CIO \u2013International<\/strong>, talks about the IT priorities linked with the digital transformation, its impact on the company, and also discusses the expectations of customers<\/a> and the challenges that CIOs<\/a> are facing today. <\/em>
Edited excerpts...
<\/div><\/div>Q1. With these rapid technological changes around, as a CIO what IT priorities are you driving for Cisco as an organisation for the next few years?
<\/strong>CIO VC Gopalratnam<\/a>:<\/strong> With almost every company digitally transforming itself, Cisco is also in the middle of the digital transformation. And the nice thing is that Cisco IT has been given the charter to lead the digital transformation of Cisco. So for us, the top priority is how to drive the transformation in the next 18-24 months.
The company is changing its business models from hardware to software in the annuity revenue. It clearly wants to be an enabler of cloud capabilities for the Amazons, the Googles and the Microsofts of the world. All our products need to be handled as digital products like having instrumentation and telemetry embedded into them and so we listen to products on how customers are using them. And that\u2019s a big focus for us.
And how do we enable security across the company and use analytics to help our field, sales and customer experience (CX) teams understand customers in 360 types of scenario and have better relationships with them and proactively provide services also. That is broadly on the business side. Clearly, the other dimension to it is around talent. We are very focused on the up-skilling \/ re-skilling \u2013 it\u2019s not that people don\u2019t have the skills, but how to up-skill the technology talent that we have in the company. That\u2019s our second priority.

The company is changing its business models from hardware to software in the annuity revenue. It clearly wants to be an enabler of cloud capabilities for the Amazons, the Googles and the Microsofts of the world. All our products need to be handled as digital products like having instrumentation and telemetry embedded into them and so we listen to products on how customers are using them. And that\u2019s a big focus for us.

That is broadly on the business side. Clearly, the other dimension to it is around talent. We are very focused on the up-skilling \/ re-skilling \u2013 it\u2019s not that people don\u2019t have the skills, but how to up-skill the technology talent that we have in the company. That\u2019s our second priority.
<\/div><\/div>And the third one is really focusing around experience -- experience for our employees with our own technologies and also our stakeholders and customers that are doing business with us. So that\u2019s what we are trying to do.
Q2. What impact you expect or foresee with these IT priorities in the near future?
<\/strong>CIO VC Gopalratnam:<\/strong> Well, clearly it will deliver the speed -- speed to go- to-market (GTM). It will reduce the time requirement capabilities to do the business. And I think it will give our customers a better experience and also help us deliver what they want in a flexible consumption model, which is basically they are looking for. It also gives us the opportunity to implement the technology that Cisco is putting out \u2013 we need to deploy within the company to upscale. We are actually the reference customer for the company and therefore a big part of what we would be measured on is how aggressively we deploy the technologies that we are selling and upscale within the company.
Q3. You would be closely working with Cisco customers, so in today\u2019s time, what sort of expectations they are having when it comes to IT vendors?<\/strong>
CIO VC Gopalratnam:<\/strong> First, obviously, they have invested a lot in legacy infrastructure, capabilities and whatever new capabilities that being developed, needs to be able to integrate with them. Second, they want complexity to be removed in the way that is managed and they also want to transfer the management of that to you (vendors).
And therefore, it becomes our responsibility to ensure that our customer environment is simplified, automated and is easy to support because there are so many different technologies. Customers also want open technologies and they don\u2019t want to be saddled with only priority technologies. They want your technology to connect with other technologies, which means the APIs becomes very important to interoperability, open standards, open architecture and that\u2019s what customers are looking for.
Customers also want flexible consumptions \u2013 they want to buy it as-a-service, they don\u2019t want capex but want to opex, they want to buy the subscription, etc., which actually is beneficial not only to the customers but also to us because it gives us recurring revenue. And then the whole thing around easy to use and easy to support and that\u2019s a kind of paradigm; as they are also looking for customers, who can work within the ecosystem and deliver the best possible solutions.
Q4. In your view, what kind of challenges CIOs in India are facing today and what\u2019s your advice for them?<\/strong>
CIO VC Gopalratnam:<\/strong> Well, the challenge that all of us right now face is a lack of time. Everything had to be delivered yesterday because the world is changing so fast and the business is asking us to deliver capabilities as quickly as possible.
So no.1 challenge is speed and reducing the time to capability and no.2 challenge is to deliver business outcomes for your own company and to impact the customers. Are you helping the company to be more profitable and helping it to grow? Are you helping the company to be more efficient? Are you making it easy for the customers to do business with your company? That is really something they need to focus on.
I think the third thing, in order to move fast and to deliver this capability, is talent. Is there enough talent, where will you go to find talent, how do you train people and make them work on latest technologies. To me, that\u2019s the third challenge.
The fourth thing is the IT budgets as they are not necessarily growing. Even though technology investments are high, the IT budgets are either flat or going down, which means you have to be able to prioritise \u2013 you cannot do everything that you have done before and you have to prioritise those top things without compromising them.
And that\u2019s why I call CIOs --the CFOs<\/a> and its not chief financial officers but chief flexibility officers. You cannot do the things the old-fashioned way because it just worked for you 5 years ago, it doesn\u2019t mean it will work today.
So how do you balance between buying and building? As a simple example, not everything has to be done in-house; you can buy a capability from outside. At the same time, you can\u2019t buy everything from outside; you will have to have the capability inside. It\u2019s those types of decisions where prioritisation is a key part and so buying versus building is very important.
And it\u2019s also important not being wedded to a particular platform or technology and having a setup that is modular and can be adjusted. That\u2019s why I am calling CIOs -- the chief flexibility officers (CFOs) because we have to wear different hats, where you do different roles within the organisation.
The CIO today has a seat at the table because it is viewed as a transformation role to help organisations digitally transform but in that thing, you almost have to call yourself Business-Technologist. Because not only is the CEO looking for technology inputs from the CIO, but are looking to see how the CIO can actually transform the business using technology as the key lever. So business acumen is very important.
<\/div><\/div>
