Vendor has made it a mission to jump-start their growth through transformational tech intensity.
During the Future Decoded : Tech Summit Microsoft showcased how innovative use of technology is driving stories of success across businesses and communities across the country.
At the conclave for Indian developers, technologists and industry leaders, Indian businesses and start-ups, Satya Nadella CEO at Microsoft said India was emerging with innovation leaders, signalling how state-of-the-art technology can drive growth, enhance customer experience and tackle some of India’s most pressing societal and environmental issues.
While visiting India, Nadella said that Microsoft’s mission was to help organizations jump-start their growth through transformational tech intensity – which results from enterprises adopting best-in-class technology rapidly, building their own digital capability, and having trust both in the technology they use and the companies they partner with.
“We have an unprecedented opportunity to apply technology to drive economic growth that is inclusive, trusted and sustainable everywhere, including in India,” he said. “That’s why we are partnering with leaders in every industry across the country to help them build their own digital capability, transform their organizations and achieve more in this new era.”
During the conference Nadella outlined Micorsoft’s projects with Indian Government departments, including:
HAMS: Road safety is a major public health issue in India and across the world. The HAMS (Harnessing Automobiles for Safety) solution, developed by Microsoft Research, aims to mitigate this. In pilots underway. a smartphone attached to the car’s windshield authenticates the driver is the same as the license applicant. It also monitors the driving test to ensure that the test is fool-proof and objective. At the end of the driving test, HAMS generate the result to show whether the driver has passed the test or not.
The implementation has increased the number of driving tests, reduced the time a candidate must wait to do a test, and also made the tests completely objective both for the evaluator and the candidate.
NARAYANA HEALTH: Narayana Health has used Power BI to improve efficiency across 6,000 beds in its network of hospitals – from a 60 percent improvement in lab turnaround times to reduction of wastage of blood in the blood banks to better predicting surgery costs. Power BI dashboards are key to Narayana Health’s vision of offering low cost, world-class healthcare. They are used to track both financial and operational metrics offering real-time insights across all hospitals at Narayana – a process that earlier took as many as two to three weeks to complete. The solutions also measure real-time data of more than 3,000 doctors across 30 comparable parameters.
