Today, the inertia in traditional old business models, its status quo and legacy systems are challenged as the Fourth Industrial Revolution unveils its potential to offer far greater convenience to customers.
The Federation of Information Technology Sri Lanka (FITIS) will host a workshop themed ‘Digital Trends 2020’ on January 31 from 2-5 p.m. at CIMA auditorium, Colombo to enlighten the ICT fraternity on business transformation trends enabled by technology interventions.
Chief Marketing and Alliance Officer of John Keels IT, Rohan Jayaweera will be the keynote speaker.
Chairman, FITIS, Abbas Kamrudeen said the National Digital Policy for Sri Lanka 2020-2025 has set the direction towards achieving sustained economic development and growth, through the creation of an innovative economy and an effective governance.
Being informed of digital trends will help organisations understand what Industry 4.0 truly entails for them. Only then subsequent diagnosis of internal capabilities and maturity levels on each strategy area would help organisations understand what interventions should be adopted and be powered by technology to help sustainable business transformations.
He said the ‘Digital Trends 2020’ workshop will explore digital trends that are likely to disrupt businesses in 2020 and beyond. Participants will be able to enhance their knowledge to develop new products and business models using new tech trends.
CEO, FITIS, Aruna Alwis said that they expect over 100 participants comprising corporate leaders, ICT professionals and executives to attend the workshop. The FITIS workshop is supported by SLIM, ISACA and TextWave.
