For fundamental business operations to be transformed, deeper cloud integration is a must.<\/p>\n

Through an end-to-end cloud-native service meant for business-specific goals, HCLTech CloudSMART for AWS offers enterprises the ability to change and pivot faster in their digital transformation journeys, according to Prabhakar Appana<\/a> (pictured, right), senior vice president and global head of the AWS Business Unit at HCL Technologies Ltd.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we do most of this cloud transformation initiatives\u00a0from a tech perspective, what we are doing is we are encompassing them into a\u00a0story, which we call CloudSMART, a go-to market offering from HCLTech, where the client doesn\u2019t have to look\u00a0at each of these services from various vendors,\u201d Appana stated. \u201cSo it\u2019s a one-stop shop, from strategy, consulting, implementation, underpinned\u00a0by app modernization, consolidation and the operational.\u201d<\/p>\n

Appana and Anand Birje<\/a> (pictured, left), president for digital business services at HCL, spoke with theCUBE industry analysts Dave Vellante<\/a> and Lisa Martin<\/a> at AWS re:Invent<\/a>, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media\u2019s livestreaming studio. They discussed the HCL-AWS partnership and the role CloudSMART for AWS plays in cloud adoption. (* Disclosure below.)<\/em><\/p>\n

The Phoenix framework<\/h3>\n

Since cloud preferences and needs differ, HCL assists enterprises in making the right choices through a curation framework called Phoenix, according to Birje, who said this is important in differentiating by industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur biggest examples are in Telco; their omnichannel marketing \u2026 how they connect with their consumers, how they do their billing systems, how they do\u00a0their pricing systems,\u201d he pointed out. \u201cAnd that\u2019s where cloud adoption needs to come with really a curation framework. We call it the Phoenix framework, which defines what differentiates you versus not.\u201d<\/p>\n

The HCL-AWS partnership ignites the cloud journey by looking at various parameters, such as cost sustainability and app modernization, according to Appana, who said that features like Amazon Connect are also helpful.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur partnership has started almost 10 years back,\u00a0but over the last year, we have created what we call AWS dedicated business\u00a0unit to look at end-to-end stock from an AWS perspective,\u201d he noted. \u201cWe use Amazon Connect to roll out,\u00a0you know, call center at the cloud, so you don\u2019t have to walk into an office,\u00a0for example.\u201d<\/p>\n
