PROMISING 2020

The roadmap of ESDS with respect to the emerging and evolving technologies is to evaluate and enhance its recent developments and solutions. With the latest AA+ Covid Testing Solution relevant to the COVID-19 virus detection procedure, ESDS looks forward to further expanding horizons for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) driven software deployment. Additionally, it is working on evolving its technology to be able to detect all types of respiratory syndromes like tuberculosis, bronchitis, asthma, lung cancer and swine flu. The key priorities include enriching its other solutions namely - Cloud Solutions, Managed Services and SOC services; in response to the current need of controlling the increasing number of Cyber threats.

In addition to this, there is a huge demand witnessed for portals to be hosted on cloud and a sudden demand in the market for online automation of planning and operations. The iPAS software of ESDS is a very apt solution to assist in planning and automation. IoT is another area that is gaining impetus; due to the migration of labourers from the factories due to the economic emergencies industries have realised the need for automation. One of the world’s largest IoT projects is running on ESDS’s cloud platform.

SET AS A DIFFERENTIATOR

 ESDS is a tech disruptor and has always launched technologies well before time. For instance ESDS launched cloud in India 11 years back. Similarly, lots of initiatives are being taken on the next generation technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). The aim is to continuously position the ESDS brand as a tech disruptor and not just any service provider.

Whether it is digital transformation or Resvera (one bottle sold = planting 5 saplings), both the initiatives focus on positively transforming human lives. Similarly, Resvera is also a disruption in a settled wine market. ESDS believes technology disruption should be brought to all areas and touch the lives of billions of people.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AGENDA

In the backdrop of 2019, the year 2020 is witnessed as a breakthrough year for the entire globe covering all possible sectors. Post Covid-19, Digital Transformation, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning enabled solutions will lead the way. Machines will be taking the control of businesses which will not only benefit the businesses but also the customers at large resulting in quality experience.

The year 2020 saw a sudden change in the working culture of industries and companies making mainstream the shadowed concept of ‘Work from Home’ and ‘Virtual Office’ which is considered to be the New Normal. When concepts like Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain technology, etc. were in their developing stages, this pandemic situation doubled up the need and the speed of their development cycle.

CYBER SECURITY A PRIORITY

 Security is going to be an utmost priority for a lot of organisations as there is no option to avoid the internet or cloud in the current scenario. ESDS being in India’s top Managed Security Service Provider list has launched many security solutions for its customers to help protect their data. Its services mainly consist of encryption, including bringing your own encryption, next generation firewalls, antivirus solutions, security operation centre, etc.

Whereas, when the current period is all about the increased online presence, cyber threats and the need for cyber security is a growing concern. In consideration to this, ESDS’s latest solution VTMScan successfully ropes the need for Cyber Security concerns.

DIGITAL INDIA MAKING STRIDES

ESDS is India’s number one Cloud Service Provider for the government sector with more than 150 organisations hosting their data on ESDS cloud. It is contributing at large in India’s digital transformation and it is not just about data hosting but ESDS is also giving Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) to many government organisations. These services in turn are helping the organizations in delivering services to the citizens efficiently. Cloud and ESDS have thus made a major contribution in the Digital India mission.
