3. Accelerator Program
Accelerators Programs are designed to create competitive
advantage by:
• Creating reusable assets to enable faster delivery and
generate new sources of revenue
• Providing new and challenging opportunities to People and
re-skill them for future.
4. What drives IT projects
• Automation of repeatable task. This leads to creation of new
tools/technologies
• Adoption of new Technology to capture new business
opportunities. Examples include Social, Mobility, Analytics,
Cloud Computing, IoT
• Renewal of existing systems : Support for existing version of
Software goes away
• Governance, Regulatory frameworks, Mergers, Demergers,
and Acquisitions
5. Model to Identify
Accelerators
• Identify new Projects to work in each of the listed areas:
• Automation of repeatable task.
• Adoption of new Technology to capture new business
opportunities
❖ Social
❖ Mobility
❖ Analytics

❖ Mobility : Create API frameworks and reusable
components for connecting to Mobile Applications
7. ❖ Analytics : Create tools to analyse large data
❖ Cloud Computing : Create tools to integrate different
Cloud Computing environments with Data Centre
❖ IoT : Create industry specific solutions to capture IoT
opportunities
• Renewal of existing systems
❖ Create migration plan for Softwares whose support is
going to end.
8. Reuse Organisational
Competency
Review existing projects and list the work being done under
below categories:
❖ Automation of repeatable task.
❖ Adoption of new Technology.
❖ Opportunities for Renewal of existing systems
9. Governance
• Create Centre for Enablement - C4E which has the
responsibility for creating and managing reusable assets.
• Planned review of assets to ensure quality of assets.
• Ensure discoverability of the assets.
• Involve security and operation teams for better security and
DevOps opportunities.
• Provide technical leadership to mine existing Projects for
