Globally internet has changed the way in which businesses were performed traditionally. Developed countries have benefited from implementing e-commerce. But, in case of emerging economies like India the adoption of e-commerce has been very slow due to challenges posed by a number of barriers. In India, though the large corporations have adopted e-commerce and successfully explored the business opportunities, the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are yet to benefit from adopting e-commerce. This presentation reflects on the barriers that the SMEs face in India in process of adoption of e-commerce. It analyses both the external and internal factors that affect the adoption of e-commerce. In the end recommendations are also mentioned.

Driving growth in Indian manufacturing industry Sumit Roy
Indian manufacturing is just perfectly poised to Unlocking the transformation value with technology .While businesses understand that in order to build an organisation that is agile and suited to withstand current market and economic volatilities, there are several things to be considered before taking a digital leap. More than just a strategy for any individual technology trend or for combining more than one of them, companies need a systematic approach to adopt technologies in a holistic fashion. The industry trends and challenges primarily drive the appropriate selection of technology solutions, which need to be fine-tuned to a company’s needs based on its scale, capabilities and its specific issues. This joint CII-PwC report takes a closer look at two industries in particular, manufacturing and infrastructure, and tries to decode the prevalent challenges in these two sectors, the kind of initiatives being taken to drive growth and development, and how IT adoption is playing an important role to overcome these challenges

2015-16 Global Chief Procurement Officer Survey - CPOCapgemini
Capgemini Consulting’s sixth Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) Survey examines Procurement Trends, Compliance Management, Advanced Analytics in Procurement, and the Total Supplier Experience. Since our last CPO Survey, much has changed. During the darkest economic hours, Procurement was called upon in many troubled organizations to stem costs in new and creative ways. For many Procurement executives, there was no longer the need to sell the value of its standard services (cutting costs). Instead, Procurement was being called upon as a partner to drive cost out across the organization, thus elevating Procurement executives into a highly visible role in the organization.
This thought-piece discusses how established companies can manage the duality dilemma triggered by the coexistence of new digital offerings and legacy products, and provides expert insights into how a common set of core capabilities can accelerate the digital transformation journey ahead.
Industry 4.0 is the name of the next industrial revolution which is fueled by the advancement of digital technologies. It
is dramatically changing how companies engage in business activities. As a result, the disruptive nature of Industry 4.0
demands a reassessment of the requirements for IT. On the one hand, there is the possibility that the responsibilities of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) could be taken over by other executives such as the Chief Digital Officer (CDO) or the Chief Technology Officer (CTO). On the other hand, this
recent development creates entirely new perspectives for positioning themselves and their IT departments
within the business.
The impact of digital technologies is reaching a magnitude at which IT is considered a substantial
business driver, potentially placing CIOs in the driver’s seat.

Top 30 Indian B2B Software Product Companies Valued at $6.2 Billion and Growi...ProductNation/iSPIRT
We believe the discussion about India’s technology industry – whether in government circles, the media or in Silicon Valley – overlooks India’s B2B software product companies which sell globally as well as into India. Instead, there is a lot of discussion about IT Services companies and E-commerce players.
When there is discussion about B2B software products, it lacks insights into product types, target markets, scaling strategies, perception of Indian vendors in India and abroad as well as the vibrant start-up ecosystem that has emerged around B2B software companies from India. These insights are important because a strong Indian B2B software product industry has the potential to drive tens of thousands of high-value jobs, enable Indian manufacturing and services companies to be globally competitive, drive large amounts of export-driven foreign exchange earnings for India as well as create billions of dollars of value for founders and investors.
We would like to shine a spotlight on these Indian B2B software products companies through the India Software Products Industry Index – B2B (iSPIxB2B), which we are launching today. The index tracks the thirty most valuable B2B software product companies headquartered in India and companies headquartered elsewhere in the world where cofounders are in India right from the creation of the company onwards.

As the rise in sophisticated digital technologies drives an exponential change in online customer behaviour, the need for businesses to embrace digital transformation has never been greater.
In ancient times – February 2020 – EMA research found that more than 50% of IT leaders surveyed were considering new ITSM platforms in the near future. That future arrived with a bang as IT organizations turbo-pivoted to deliver and support unprecedented levels and types of services to a global workforce suddenly working from home.
These slides—based on the webinar from EMA Research and ServiceNow—provide an informed look at building ITSM initiatives that will support business at the speed of life.

Digital Innovation, IT and the Art of InfluenceAbbie Lundberg
A presentation based on research I conducted for Harvard Business Review Analytic Services, delivered at the St. Louis Gateway to Innovation conference.
We’ve worked with Executives and IT leaders for over 30 years, and the single most common complaint we hear from them is their profound frustration with the lack of results and transparency from their never-ending IT investments.
To add further complexity, the demand for digital products and services has made it increasingly difficult for organizations to make ongoing investments and balance the need for innovation with optimization.
The latest data, combined from global enterprises, big consulting and research firms, makes the case that companies need to urgently act to address the digital disruption of their business and their related skills gaps. The data shows that 70% of digital business initiatives are likely to fail to deliver business growth, due to lack of business process and product innovation, as well as poor organizational adaptability.
Poor governance and legacy product management processes to align business and IT initiatives, coupled with insufficient leadership engagement across the organization, are the main reason most companies are wasting money on IT.
This thought paper speaks to these challenges and how optimizing both technology innovation and cross-organizational engagement will accelerate the positive business outcomes that organizations are looking to achieve especially in lieu of increasing digital disruption.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
