Governance Now 5th PSU IT Forum


Governance Now is a premier publication on public policy and Governance from Sri Adhikari Brothers Group, is organising the 5th edition of its flagship India PSU IT Virtual Forum on 20th August 2020. The capacity-building forum focuses on challenges, innovations and strategies for digital transformation the public sector enterprises. In the last four years at the PSU IT Forums, Governance Now is actively engaging PSU IT community and technology solution providers for addressing the digital transformation needs.

CPSE's transformation is critical to India's development and in achieving the vision of New India 2022. CPSEs play a vital role in giving a push to the growth of the Indian economy and also, help it recover from the impact of COVID-19. Innovation and technology are the main drivers of growth.

Now the digital transformation is not just digitising data and services or moving them to the cloud, but focusing more on new disruptive technologies which can transform their operations and business. Public sector organisations need to come to their understanding of these technologies, strategies that will help achieve their goals and stay competitive. While PSUs need to maximise their digital investments by strategically leveraging new technologies, as well as data and advanced analytics, to optimise policies, programs, resources payments, and systems. Public sector organisations actively look for the right solutions to address their challenges.

The forum is an effort to bring together the key stakeholders from government, CPSEs and IT industry experts on a single platform to discuss the digital transformation needed to remain competitive.
