TCS首席执行官戈皮纳坦表示,疫情迫使企业投资云服务

在与《印度时报》的互动中,该公司首席执行官拉杰什·戈皮纳坦表示,疫情正在推动全球公司转向更加现代化的IT架构,这将使企业更具弹性。

班加罗尔:在第一季度因大流行的直接影响而遭受挫折后,印度IT服务业的环境一直看起来不错。周三,TCS公布的第二季度业绩显示了良好的反弹。在与印度时报的互动中,首席执行官Rajesh Gopinathan他说,大流行正在推动全球企业转向更加现代化的IT架构,这将使企业更具弹性。摘录:

你对未来非常乐观。你说你正处于一个持续多年的技术转型浪潮中。你能解释一下吗?
在大流行造成的破坏之后,公司正在致力于基于云的基础设施战略,提供适应性、弹性和安全性。一旦迁移完成,还有许多其他本地功能云平台将提供在诸如客户体验、员工体验、动态定价、服务化(从销售产品到提供服务)。这就是我们所说的地平线2号。你可以看到各种各样的实验正在进行。工业设备在美国,引擎是根据使用情况定价提供的。同样的情况现在也发生在耐用消费品上,这些公司提供的包装内嵌了维护和保证。在零售业,有些人每天都要多次调整产品的价格。云使这一切大规模成为可能。然后是地平线3,新的未开发领域,新的商业模式——你如何无缝地结合不同行业的主题,以提供共同的价值主张?您会发现跨行业部署很容易,因为IT基础设施现在可以进行更多的试验和无障碍扩展。

你认为为什么需要一场大流行,企业才会意识到向云转移的必要性?难道他们没有看到谷歌而且脸谱网用云技术做惊人的事情?
说“那些是科技公司,我们不是”很容易。当你拥有5000万至1亿美元的折旧技术资产时,承诺腾出这些资产并搬到新的地方并不容易。但当你面临一个月的收入完全中断时,迁移看起来就不再像六个月前那么大的负担了。

针对第三方服务提供商的h - 1b签证推出的为期一年的新规定似乎是对印度IT提供商的攻击。你预计会有什么样的影响?
我不想具体评论。我们对自己的执行能力和运营能力充满信心。如果法律没有特别的歧视,它平等地适用于每个人,我们相信我们将保持竞争力。如果你在一个高度供应受限的市场中减少供应,成本就会上升,每个人的成本都会上升。我们对我们的作战能力有信心,这些能力已经展示出来了。

BENGALURU: After the setback in the first quarter because of the immediate impact of the pandemic, the environment has been looking good for the Indian IT services industry. On Wednesday, TCS<\/a> announced second quarter results that indicated a good bounceback. In an interaction with TOI, CEO Rajesh Gopinathan<\/a> said the pandemic is pushing companies globally to move to a far more modern IT architecture, one that will make businesses more resilient. Excerpts:

You are very positive about the future. You said you\u2019re amid a multi-year technology transition wave. Can you explain that?<\/strong>
Following the disruptions caused by the pandemic, companies are committing to a cloudbased infrastructure strategy that provides adaptability, resilience and security. Once this migration is done, there are many other native capabilities that these
cloud platforms<\/a> will provide in areas such as customer experience<\/a>, employee experience, dynamic pricing, servitisation (moving from selling products<\/a> to delivering services). These are what we call Horizon 2. You can already see various experiments happening. Industrial equipment<\/a>, engines are being provided based on usage-based pricing. The same is now moving to consumer durables, where companies are offering packages with maintenance and guarantees built in. In retail, there are those who are changing the price of a product many times a day. Cloud makes all this possible on a massive scale. And then will come Horizon 3, the new unexplored areas, new business models \u2014 how do you seamlessly combine themes across industries to provide a common value proposition? You will find that cross-industry deployment is easy because the IT infrastructure now is open to a lot more experimentation and frictionless scaling up.

Why do you think it required a pandemic for companies to see the need to move to the cloud? Didn\u2019t they see the likes of
Google<\/a> and Facebook<\/a> doing amazing things with cloud tech?<\/strong>
It\u2019s easy to say, \u201cThose are technology companies and we are not that.\u201d And when you have $50-100 million of depreciated tech assets, it is not easy to commit to vacating that estate and moving to a new one. But when you face a complete revenue outage for a month, the migration no longer looks such a big burden as it seemed six months back.
