CII floats TN cloud panel

Confederation of Indian Industry has formed an IT panel and one of its mandate is to cash in on the platform to boost business in Tamil Nadu.

Speaking on the sidelines of a conference on Cloud Computing and Business Intelligence here on Thursday, Vinod Krishnan, convenor IT, ITeS and Electronics panel, CII Chennai Zone told Express that the panel is working on how to create Tamil Nadu cloud in the business.

Cloud computing is putting more of the data online and less on personal computers or servers.

This means every piece of data one needs will be at fingertips and ready for use. The data must be mobile, transferable, and instantly accessible.

Interestingly, the growth of the smart phones and tab users in India is one of the main reasons why many firms are targeting the state, says Krishnan, who is also the managing director of TVS Infotech.

According to a report titled ‘The Indian Cloud Revolution’ by CII, KPMG and Amarchand Mangaldas, cloud based services can be leveraged by the government to launch new e-governance initiatives quicker and with lower overhead costs.
