As organizations navigate through this digital journey, they will shift from traditional business intelligence models that allow a sequential flow of information and resources to a cognitive ecosystem supported by real-time insights and stakeholder collaborations at an unprecedented scale. Keeping the need for rapid digitalization in the purview, HCL Technologies’ Industry NeXT empowers businesses by seamlessly integrating critical elements to deliver sustainable value and resilience.
