Raj believes technology has been driving innovation across industries for a while now and the pace continues to accelerate. In the last few years, the advent of digital technology has radically and irreversibly changed our lives. More change was witnessed in the last 20 years than in the previous two centuries. Disruptive technologies and their constant evolution are compelling businesses to break away from legacies and modernize themselves to stay ahead.
Data is crucial to business and with the use of data analytics technologies, businesses are gaining a competitive edge with faster and highly scalable insights for quick decision making. It is transformational by disrupting age-old business models but innovations in this space should simplify the usage of technology by making it more agile and business friendly. Innovations in robotics and artificial intelligence are pushing the boundary of what machines are capable of doing in all facets of the business. More capable and safer robots are now engaging in ever-expanding activities combining both mechanization, cognitive and learning capabilities. AI will enable machines to be more intelligent, self-learning and cognitive than before by freeing up human time to focus more on advanced research. However, formidable technological challenges must still be overcome before machines can match human performance across the range of cognitive activities.
Not just computers, innovations in IoT space has created a better-connected physical world by bringing all physical objects, machines and entities together in a connected network. Machines are becoming more intelligent, smarter and accessible. And the advent of cloud technology has made it possible by making information, systems and physical world accessible from anywhere.
These technologies are as disruptive as steam engines, wheels, electricity, etc., however, it is us who will have to make these technologies work in a better strategic way to impact positively how we live our life.
The way Altimetrik does business with its clients is unique in a few ways. It partners with them to analyze its business environment, understand the gaps and challenges and then propose a novel business solution that can achieve the desired outcomes with speed, agility and precision. Altimetrik's growth entirely depends on how its clients leverage the company's capabilities to achieve their business outcomes. Their success drives the company's success.
The main differentiator in creating this unique position is Playground. It is how the company works. The Playground ecosystem provides a digital workplace for its employees to collaborate and work, innovation platform to ideate and generate IPs, product engineer solutions for clients, collaborate and partner with the larger industry ecosystem. We have partnered with some of the fortune fintech, automotive and manufacturing clients to solve any of their transformational problems, be it talent, engineering or collaboration.
Raj feels one of the key challenges that not only Altimetrik, but the industry at large faces is mindset transformation and making open innovation an integral part of the organization culture.
Mindset matters most in digital transformation. It is a reflection of organizations' culture and collective consciousness that relates to underlying values and beliefs. It demonstrates how the digital workforce actively engages with the world, and are harnessed and maximized. Digital technologies demand a very different approach to be properly leveraged.
"As an organization, Altimetrik has been addressing this challenge by focusing on creating an innovative, supportive and adaptive digital workplace which can help the company, as well as its clients, grow to the next level. Altimetrik has a structured program and Innovation Center that leverages its Playground platform to drive innovation into the DNA of the organization. This is helping the company to enable its clients to transform the mindset and culture of their organizations" he added.
