Cloud is transforming core engineering functions
Among the technological disruptions that have changed the way enterprises do business, the cloud is probably the most impactful. The pandemic further highlighted the need to adopt cloud computing with other digital technologies to enable remote work and support a hybrid workforce.

Cloud is transforming core engineering functions
Among the technological disruptions that have changed the way enterprises do business, the cloud is probably the most impactful. The pandemic further highlighted the need to adopt cloud computing with other digital technologies to enable remote work and support a hybrid workforce. The trend extended beyond digital-first businesses to traditional industries such as manufacturing that are increasingly embracing virtualization and cloud-enabled digital transformation through engineering cloud.
Engineering cloud refers to the use of the cloud for orchestrating and integrating an organization’s engineering functions. It differs from cloud engineering that relates to the engineering of the cloud infrastructure and tech stack.

While cost and efficiency are likely the centerpieces of any company's push towards IT modernization, the other benefits can be hugely important to getting the green light.
It has been observed that businesses advanced their digitization plans by two to three years to adapt to the situation created by the pandemic. Enterprises were not only switching to a remote working model overnight but also seeking to make big changes to keep up with new customer behaviors, large-scale supply chain…
While cost and efficiency are likely the centerpieces of any company's push towards IT modernization, the other benefits can be hugely important to getting the green light.
It has been observed that businesses advanced their digitization plans by two to three years to adapt to the situation created by the pandemic. Enterprises were not only switching to a remote working model overnight but also seeking to make big changes to keep up with new customer behaviors, large-scale supply chain dislocations, and uncertainty like they had never seen before. This was classic digital transformation stuff -- leveraging various technologies, from AI to blockchain, to reimagine the way they met customer needs, went to market, or conducted their operations.

Global supply chains are highly complex and vulnerable by nature, but they play a critical role in the success of an organization. 2019 was a year of disruption with natural disasters and global geopolitical changes such as the trade war between the US and China and the Brexit impacting supply chains across the world. This was further compounded in 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic brought logistical challenges driven by lockdowns and shortages in personnel, making the supply chain a…
Global supply chains are highly complex and vulnerable by nature, but they play a critical role in the success of an organization. 2019 was a year of disruption with natural disasters and global geopolitical changes such as the trade war between the US and China and the Brexit impacting supply chains across the world. This was further compounded in 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic brought logistical challenges driven by lockdowns and shortages in personnel, making the supply chain a macroeconomic concern. From scarcities in semiconductor chips in the automotive and hi-tech companies to a decline in global smartphone shipments, every industry faced unexpected and unwanted disruptions leading them to embrace ‘digital’ at scale. Product companies embarking on their digital transformation also began to invest in process transformation across the extended enterprise ecosystem.
The concepts of ‘design anywhere’, ‘produce anywhere’, ‘assemble anywhere’, ‘sell anywhere’ and finally ‘service anywhere’ have changed the paradigm of product enterprises. Digital transformation enabled by the cloud can bring these concepts into practice. Cloud brings flexibility, agility, scalability, and security for core engineering applications.

Manufacturers of industrial and heavy machinery products face several challenges, especially those with multi-year shelf life. These include high quality costs, wastages, inefficiencies on the shop floor, under-utilization of resources, and manual operations. These challenges result in lesser productivity and longer lead times for fulfilling customer demand. Commoditized Make-To-Stock (MTS), as well as bespoke Configure-To-Order (CTO) and Engineer-to-Order (ETO) sectors require multiple ways to…

Organizations are often compared to live organisms in their instinct to survive and thrive in challenging environments. The manufacturing world is no different – they need to be resilient and take advantage of the decade’s most significant market disruption. The manufacturers need to innovate their operating model. That is possible only by digitizing their core capabilities. The world is looking at alternative social ways of working in the post-COVID era, which essentially needs greater…
Organizations are often compared to live organisms in their instinct to survive and thrive in challenging environments. The manufacturing world is no different – they need to be resilient and take advantage of the decade’s most significant market disruption. The manufacturers need to innovate their operating model. That is possible only by digitizing their core capabilities. The world is looking at alternative social ways of working in the post-COVID era, which essentially needs greater technology infusion – hence sooner the adoption, faster will be the realization of benefits.

The engineering cloud is an emerging trend across engineering enterprises. As enterprises embrace virtualization and cloud-enabled digital transformation, they also have an opportunity to transform the performance of their engineering operations with the engineering cloud.

The engineering cloud (meaning cloud for engineering functions/solutions/products/processes) is different from cloud engineering, which pertains to the engineering of the cloud infrastructure and tech stack. This point of view defines the engineering cloud and discusses its significance for enterprises and the success factors for implementation.

To stay competitive and agile, enterprises need to modernize their IT infrastructure with cloud computing. Abhishek Goyal, global practice head for digital engineering, IoT, and engineering cloud, Infosys, shares the benefits of embracing cloud for engineering.
Cloud and application security are the key elements of cloud strategy. It is necessary to encrypt data moving to the cloud from the customer’s private data centers. The infrastructure should be continuously monitored for threats. Both system integrators (SIs) and hyperscale cloud providers can help with this. System integrators provide a comprehensive compliance status that is in alignment with the best practices followed by hyperscale cloud partners. Overall, cloud infrastructure should have one or more distributed firewalls, network segregation, data encryption, endpoint protection, SSL certificates, vulnerability management, application-specific firewalls, and identification management. A system integrator can also help the enterprise to formulate a cloud migration strategy. SIs are best placed to design a robust cloud infrastructure for engineering teams and envisage a clear-cut strategy to migrate these applications to the cloud, thanks to their understanding of both engineering applications and the poly cloud ecosystem. SIs also understand the imperatives of migration and can propose better cost takeout models for the product enterprises. As the tremendous advantages of the cloud for engineering and R&D functions become apparent, we will see more enterprises making the shift. A well-thought-out and executed approach while migrating to the cloud is essential for getting the right outcomes.

ERP implementations are typically well planned using various implementation frameworks, templates and concepts. However, nearly 70 to 80% of all ERP implementation programs fail, go over budget, or go live after the original deadline. This is mainly due to the fact that while tackling strategic issues and their risk mitigations, program teams often miss out on the tactical nuances of implementation. Through this paper, we have tried to highlight the top 30 “tactical” mistakes that lead to ERP…
