                                   reduce the costs for its customers, it had to
                                   improve performance.

Collaboration is shaping business
today
1st Panel Discussion: “Is the role of CFO now more
critical in shaping the organization's collaboration
strategy?”


Moderator: Mr. Arun Gupta (Group CTO, Shoppers Stop)
Panelists:
1. Mr. J.S. Puri - Advisor, Corporate Affairs and IT (Fortis
   Healthcare Ltd.)
2. Mr. Sandeep Suryavanshi - CIO (Zensar Technologies
   Ltd.)
3. Mr. Anil Khopkar – CIO (Bajaj Auto Ltd.)
1st Panel Discussion: Is the role of CFO now more critical in
shaping the organization's collaboration strategy?”
1st PanelArun Gupta started the discussion by asking the panelists whether they report to
     Mr. Discussion: Is the role of CFO now more critical in
shaping the and what kind of relationshipstrategy?” with their CFOs.
     CFOs organization's collaboration they enjoy

     The animated and participative discussion brought out some interesting aspects about
     the CIO-CFO relationship and the CIO's role in an organizations, like:

     •   What matters more than the nos. (ROI etc.) is the business strategy, the long-term
         vision of the company, what is the business value that IT can offer, etc

     •   CIO has to work with the business heads to deliver value to them, so whether CIO
         reports to CFO or CEO does not really matter

     •   IT can create disruptive business models to directly impact the top-line, or help invent
         new markets or business models, and so IT should be viewed as a strategic function

     •   The discussion on technology should be about competitive advantage (more so
         today), and not so much about TCO, ROI etc.

     •   CIOs should be measured not just on how much cost savings they can bring in year
         on year in the maintenance cost, but also on the new technologies, initiatives &
         innovations brought in by them

     Mr. Gupta summed up the discussion with the observation that all the business functions
     would need technology to excel and should collaborate in jointly defining the business
     value of IT to the organization.

Mr. LN Sundarrajan advocated a pragmatic
                                         approach for leveraging IT to deliver value by
                                         involving the business/functional leaders as
                                         stakeholders.

                                         He explained how the cloud phenomenon is
                                         forcing even huge monolithic systems to be
                                         ready for being available on the web, and how
                                         new paradigms like mobility are changing the
                                         way transactions are done and impacting
                                         business agility.

Mr. LN Sundarrajan                       He opined that cloud and mobile can be a
Founder-Director at Rewire               powerful combination to deliver a strong
                                         business value in terms of competitive
How Cloud, New Devices & Social          advantages, operational efficiencies, profitability

Event Highlights - Collaboration Retreat 2011
1st Panel Discussion: Is the role of CFO now more critical in
shaping the organization's collaboration strategy?”
     The panel discussion threw some thought-provoking points like:

     •   With proprietary software, cost goes up and innovation comes down, with open
         source it is the reverse

     •   Change is coming to an industry from a seemingly unrelated source, through
         innovations in some other industries or fields

     •   Openness and interoperability are key to success of the collaboration
         infrastructure

     •   While it will take time for enterprises to adopt open source Business software as
         these are currently available mostly in proprietary format, it is easier to adopt
         open source collaboration software as these are fairly mature and stable
Event Highlights - Collaboration Retreat 2011
In his Concluding Address, Mr. Arun Gupta
                           observed how the culture of innovation, making
                           things work, and dealing with adverse situations
                           make India what it is.

                           He shared how the risk-averse nature of Indian
                           companies and CIOs prevents moving business
                           critical applications onto open source platform.
                           He said when the Indian business overcomes
                           this, there'll be a big leap forward for IT in India.

                           He ended by posing a question to the audience:
                           “How does an organization prepare for the next
Mr. Arun Gupta,            generation of employees who have a very
Group CTO, Shoppers Stop   different set of expectations and form of
                           collaboration?
