Driving greater technology adoption is the government's agenda, with good governance and economic recovery as the topmost priorities. With the government's continued focus and investment in leveraging cloud computing for effective delivery of e-services by DeiTY (Department of Electronics and Information Technology), this is an opportunity for the government to enhance frameworks and policies for state governments to virtualise their datacenters for various e-projects.
Hitachi's vision to create a better world through social innovation technologies is perfectly aligned with the governments initiative to create 'Digital India'. This program will drive overall country transformation through infrastructure and essential citizen services which will be offered as a utility giving citizens access to quality healthcare, energy, transportation, safety and security allowing them to become digitally empowered.
This vision is one of the most exciting initiatives the country has embarked upon and will be the key to establishing India as a technology and innovation hub.
The government's focus on digitisation, cloud and cyber security policies will help the industry in long-term. We hope the upcoming budget outlines clear business and economic measures to support the government's commitment to invest in the right technology infrastructure to enable this transformation.
The other aspect to this will be to rationalise customs duty, taxes and simply procurement process to accelerate the adoption of cloud services for large data centres.
