Agenda

Accelerator ProgramAccelerators Programs are designed to create

competitive advantage by:

• Creating reusable assets to enable faster delivery and generate new sources of revenue

• Providing new and challenging opportunities to People and re-skill them for future.

What drives IT projects• Automation of repeatable task. This leads to

creation of new tools/technologies

• Adoption of new Technology to capture new business opportunities. Examples include Social, Mobility, Analytics, Cloud Computing, IoT

• Renewal of existing systems : Support for existing version of Software goes away

• Governance, Regulatory frameworks, Mergers, Demergers, and Acquisitions

Model to Identify Accelerators

• Identify new Projects to work in each of the listed areas:

• Automation of repeatable task.• Adoption of new Technology to capture new

business opportunities❖ Social ❖ Mobility ❖ Analytics ❖ Cloud Computing❖ IoT

• Renewal of existing systems❖ Migration plan for Softwares whose support is

going to end.

Some Examples• Automation of repeatable tasks:

❖ Logging and Monitoring utilities❖ Notifications based on some conditions❖ Automation of Error handling

• Adoption of new Technology to capture new business opportunities

❖ Social : Create single sign on feature for different Social networking sites

❖ Mobility : Create API frameworks and reusable components for connecting to Mobile Applications

❖ Analytics : Create tools to analyse large data ❖ Cloud Computing : Create tools to integrate

different Cloud Computing environments with Data Centre

❖ IoT : Create industry specific solutions to capture IoT opportunities

• Renewal of existing systems❖ Create migration plan for Softwares whose

support is going to end.

Reuse Organisational CompetencyReview existing projects and list the work being done

under below categories:

❖ Automation of repeatable task.

❖ Adoption of new Technology.

❖ Opportunities for Renewal of existing systems

Governance• Create Centre for Enablement - C4E which has the

responsibility for creating and managing reusable assets.

• Planned review of assets to ensure quality of assets.

• Ensure discoverability of the assets.

• Involve security and operation teams for better security and DevOps opportunities.

• Provide technical leadership to mine existing Projects for assets/accelerators.
