Full story<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

We\u2019re entering the next era of human-machine partnerships with a different and new vision of the future, according to\u00a0quantitative\u00a0global research<\/a>\u00a0<\/u>by Dell Technologies in collaboration with Vanson Bourne.\u00a0The research was conducted<\/u>\u00a0with\u00a03800 global business leaders<\/strong>\u00a0including\u00a0300 Indian business leaders<\/strong>, across\u00a017 countries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

It is increasingly clear that humans and machines will have to work as a cohesive workforce\u00a0with\u00a040%\u00a0<\/strong>rooting for administrative tasks such as scheduling meetings, data inputs to be taken over by machines, thereby freeing time.\u00a042% Indian leaders<\/strong>\u00a0believe that inventory management as a task is most likely to be outsourced to machines by 2030<\/p>\n

\n

Further, despite the hurdles that businesses face and the inexorable race to move everything online and make available in real-time, 24\/7, leaders are united in the belief that they need to transform. 50% already believe that they are catering to the evolving needs of their customers, with the help of engaging and customized offerings.\u00a0<\/strong>While there is a whopping\u00a066%\u00a0<\/strong>who think that their organisations currently or will in\u00a05 years\u00a0<\/strong>struggle to offer equal opportunities across its different generations of workers due to varied digital skill-sets and mind-sets.<\/p>\n

\n

Businesses are split by whether the future represents an opportunity or a threat, and torn by the need to mitigate these risks.\u00a0<\/sup>For instance:<\/p>\n

\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Cyber security is a threat that imposes far reaching implications on the business, believes\u00a056%,\u00a0<\/strong>the more we depend upon technology, the more we have to lose in the event of a cyber-attack.<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a055%<\/strong>\u00a0of them feel that greater data capture could infringe upon the public\u2019s right to privacy<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a057%<\/strong>\u00a0are calling for clear protocols in the event that autonomous machines fail<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a056%<\/strong>\u00a0say computers will need to decipher between good and bad commands<\/p>\n

Barriers to transform<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indian businesses are confident of operating a successful digital business in 2030. The main barriers\u00a0to becoming a successful digital business in 2030 and beyond are:<\/p>\n

\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Data privacy and cyber security concerns \u2013 47%<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Lack of budget and resources- 36%<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Lack of senior support and sponsorship- 36%<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Lack of right skills\/ competencies-36%<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Lack of employee buy-in-30%<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Lack of coherent digital strategy and vision-29%<\/p>\n

\n

Given the promise of monumental change\u2014fuelled by exponentially increasing data and the applications, processing power and connectivity to harness it\u201456% speculate that schools will need to teach how to learn rather than what to learn to prepare students for jobs that don\u2019t yet exist<\/p>\n

\n

According to,\u00a0Rajesh Janey, Managing Director\u00a0 & President, India Enterprise, Dell EMC<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>We\u2019re entering an era of tectonic digital change. In spite of the multiple challenges faced by businesses to go digital, leaders are united in the belief that they need to transform. It is encouraging to see how Indian leaders believe strongly in the importance of providing customer experiences which are not only holistic, but also engaging. In today\u2019s age of digital uncertainty, it is extremely important for enterprises to prepare for the future, focusing on workforce, security and IT transformation, in order to stay ahead. Through this research we aim to provide meaningful insights to business leaders to empower them with the ability to predict and plan for the digital future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also sharing his views,\u00a0Alok Ohrie, Managing Director & President, India Commercial, Dell EMC<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>We are at the horizon of an amazing digital future which is going to\u00a0open newer and better business possibilities. As our dependence on machines increases, it is becoming imperative for businesses to plan and equip themselves for a collaborative human-machine future. This research is primarily aimed at helping customers and other businesses better envision the future and uncover peer advice on how to transform and succeed. A truly mutually beneficial partnership is on the cards \u2013 if businesses prepare accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n
