1. Technology has become much more fluid and changes more rapidly. IT management must evaluate the organizational value each technology offers to determine when and if it is a good fit. What are some similar challenges in IT management faced by the IT teams in India?

Regardless of whether it is in India or any other country, technology is changing rapidly with the Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Architecture and infrastructure and the IT organizations are challenged to keep up with the maintenance and management of this Infrastructure. But why India stands out is that although there is a lot of change happening, IT organizations have to keep up with these changes with limited resources.
