About CDT

The business landscape across the globe is undergoing rapid changes, led by digital technologies, which are transforming the way systems and processes work. Companies find themselves at different stages of the digital curve and are being forced to rethink their processes and systems as they adopt and adapt to these technological changes.

As organizations navigate their business through Digital Transformation (DX), they face multiple challenges, and seek a platform of trust to handhold their digital journey. To help organizations leverage the technology changes, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has created a focused Centre for Digital Transformation (CDT). The centre operates in principal partnership with Tata Communications and associate partnership with Dell Technologies. CDT aims to emerge as leading authority in guiding and enabling organizations to building intelligent systems and help in personal computing, cloud and reinventing their productivity and business processes.

ABOUT THE IoT

The New Revolution

As the Internet of Things (IoT) gains an ever-larger foothold in the market, value-added resellers are rapidly becoming top resources when it comes to security issues, selection ofdifferent IoT platforms, and overall advantages for businesses of every size.

That means IoT is likely to keep speeding along in terms of adoption and usage, especially with major programs.

The global industrial sector is poised to undergo a fundamental structural change akin to the industrial revolution as we usher in the IoT. Equipment is becoming more digitized and more connected, establishing networks between machines, humans, and the Internet, leading to the creation of new ecosystems that enable higher productivity, better energy efficiency, and higher profitability. While we are still in the nascent stages of adoption, we believe the IoT opportunity for Industrials could amount to $2 trillion. The IoT has the potential to impact everything from new product opportunities, to shop floor optimization, to factory worker efficiency gains that will power top-line and bottom-line gains.
