COVID-19, a healthcare crisis, has already spawned a financial crisis. Enterprises are slashing costs, halting hiring of new talent, and stalling projects. While AI and ML initiatives have attracted a lot of investment lately, the related ROI may take time to realize. Given the uncertainty, how should organizations be investing in AI and ML moving forward?

Many business process outsourcing (BPO) companies and enterprises have explored automation for their operations, but in silos, automating only a few tasks or processes at a time. There are complex challenges that hold them back from bringing together human and digital workforce (bots with brains) to run smarter operations. Hexaware claims that Automate Everything is the new cupid for BPOs. But what is Automate Everything? Is it a framework, a mindset, a suite of services, or a technology solution? Can it genuinely help BPOs achieve end-to-end enterprise-wide intelligent automation to drive strategic benefits and maximize straight-through processing (STP)?

With rampant digitization and business dynamics changing constantly, it’s often your applications and systems that determine your capability to adapt, grow, and stay competitive. While we are dabbling in multichannel and multitouch new age experiences, many enterprises still heavily depend on legacy applications. Modernizing such legacy applications has been a chronic challenge due to multiple reasons for many decades. Hexaware claims that its AMAZE platform can help modernize legacy applications at unprecedented speed, quality, and cost savings through automation, minimizing human intervention, and deliver results in a matter of weeks. What proof does Hexaware have to prove this claim? How is AMAZE different from the other automation solutions in the landscape? Is Hexaware AMAZE a panacea for legacy application modernization genuinely?

The increase in the pace of change caused by digitization is driving organizations to move faster than competitors and exceed customer expectations by offering frequent updates to their product and service enabled by technology. In some cases, as quickly as once every 12 seconds. The traditional testing approaches to ensuring reliability that is dependent on human intervention simply cannot keep up. Some companies are evaluating a move from test automation to autonomous testing that takes advantage of AI/ML to make testing less dependent on human intervention and self-learning. How does autonomous testing work? Is it ready for the real world? How can organizations transition from test automation to autonomous testing with confidence?

The healthcare industry, including Pharma, MedTech, and Providers, have been trying to improve the current state of patient care journey by using technology. However, doing so in siloes and not using innovations in an integrated fashion is holding us back. Starting from when a patient gets admitted to the hospital, gets the diagnosis done, receives treatment, and recovers, what if there was a holistic way to introducing smarts at each juncture in the journey to improve patient outcome while helping with the bottom line? What are those smarts, and how can they help? What is a practical way to implement and operationalize such smarts? How can various players in the healthcare industry collaborate effectively to bring smarts into patient care?

As companies are working on reopening and resuming operations post Covid-19, how they support their people can make all the difference. Employees are anxious over their job security and about their employer’s future. They may have constraints as a single parent or a person with disabilities, or as a caretaker of the elderly. They may need to learn new skills to support changing business needs. How are Business, IT, and HR leaders reopening the business, ensuring a safe, productive, inclusive, and rewarding working environment?

Leading meant influence, but can you? It meant taking the plunge first to tackle the change, but how? It was about helping to envision the future, but are you equipped? As organizational and social constructs, and even the fundamentals of what keeps life humming, is disrupted, how should we rethink leadership? What leadership styles, approaches, and philosophies would be useful now?
