How cloud computing is helping Indian businesses

 


Globally, C-suite and Senior Leadership have prioritized Cloud adoption in the business. A similar pattern has emerged in Indian businesses. According to NASSCOM, Cloud technology will account for roughly 5%-8% of GDP by 2026 and has the potential to create unprecedented growth in employment opportunities in this shared digital infrastructure space aka Cloud.

Indian Government has been supporting Cloud adoption by devising policies and providing support to MSMEs (Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) by creating an appropriate ecosystem. The ‘Digital MSME’ and the ‘Digital India program’ has led the transformation for Indian businesses and have encouraged them to use Cloud platforms for communications and information technology applications. These initiatives have helped MSMEs to cut on CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) infrastructure and move to cutting-edge applications and infrastructure economically.

Various cloud providers like AWS, GCP, and Azure are building platforms catering to the need of various businesses and providing support for them to implement cloud in their businesses without having adequate technical know-hows. Creating accounts, connecting with cloud platforms, storing files, or accessing cloud-based SaaS apps have been made very easy for businesses and have helped them come to a place from where they can scale their business and have business continuity and resilience.

Cloud technologies and platforms have provided innumerable opportunities for Indian businesses with access to high-end computing, cutting-edge software, pay-per-use model and have helped businesses move from CAPEX model to OPEX (Operating Expense) model.

The various advantages of Cloud in terms of infinite storage, data security, data encryption, data safety, and flexibility & reliability have helped businesses focus on core business drivers, business agility and go to market strategies. Cloud features like fail fast, create quick proof-of-concept have led to innovation and multifold growth creating new products and customized service offerings for our customers in turn creating enhanced customer satisfaction.

While there are multiple benefits of adopting cloud, there are various challenges as well that our Indian businesses need to take care of – prioritization of migration, lack of planning, employee training and unrealistic timelines. One of the common myths among businesses is to have immediate cost savings from their adoption of cloud platforms.

On the contrary, there are costs associated with various challenges outlined above but if implemented strategically, investments will not only have better returns but will help businesses with productivity and scalability.

Cloud providers are providing newsletters, seminars, and conducting various events through which Indian businesses can learn what mature cloud players are doing right and create appropriate internal knowledge within their organization.

Businesses and Educational organizations have a symbiotic relationship – the more businesses will drive cloud adoption the more educational institutions will create cloud ready courses and workforces thus driving better employment opportunities and in turn help India’s economy & GDP.

While India looks forward to becoming 3rd largest economy of the world, it is time for our businesses to evangelize cloud adoption in their organization and create future-ready workforces.

How cloud technology can improve baggage handling



Global travel technology company Amadeus has recently been selected to provide services to Western Sydney International Airport (WSI) and Noida International Airport (NIA), serving as the airports’ strategic technology partner.

WSI, to open in late 2026, announced that Amadeus’ systems will manage assets and touchpoints across the airport. This includes flight data, check-in facilitation, aircraft stands and gates, bag-drop, boarding and biometrics services.

One of the company’s solutions is Amadeus Flow, a cloud-based integration solution that can manage passenger services end to end. As well as Flow, Amadeus’ self-service hardware will also be used at WSI, as well as Amadeus’ Airport Management solution to manage core flight data and allocate resources like check-in counters and gates. 


Cloud-based solutions for baggage handling

“In 2012, Amadeus decided to diversify a couple of different areas. One being the area of airport IT. Inside Amadeus, we took a different approach to what the industry was doing with their systems on-premise.,” says Stephan Hirmer, head of end-to-end passenger servicing at Spain-headquartered Amadeus.

“We brought our cloud-computing expertise to the market. Cloud computing can bring flexibility and innovation to the airport IT industry.”

Airport baggage handling has been a key area of concern since passenger volumes have increased post-pandemic.

“In the context of the pandemic, many airports had to downsize their operations. They had to let go a lot of their staff, but with volumes coming back stronger than expected, there is also a higher volume of mishandled bags. We believe this can be solved or improved by using cloud technology,” explains Hirmer.



In May, Amadeus signed an agreement with Noida International Airport (NIA) for the provision of a passenger processing system (PPS). The contract includes common use check-in, boarding, baggage reconciliation, and DigiYatra enabled biometric capabilities for passenger checkpoints.

Amadeus is responsible for the design, supply, and commission, as well as to operation and maintainance of the cloud-hosted end-to-end PPS at NIA. Self-service PPS touchpoints include check-in kiosks, automated bag drops and eGates which will be integrated in real-time with airline departure control systems.

The baggage system uses real-time information to reduce errors in ground handling. The system can access all passenger, flight, and baggage information, meaning that passengers are more accurately matched up to their baggage as a result.

Moving physical infrastructure to the cloud

“In our private lives, cloud technology is literally everywhere. There is an aspect of people just getting used to cloud computing and trusting it more and more,” says Hirmer.

“We have a new generation of passengers, younger passengers who know the world as it is with the internet. They come to the airport and have high expectations in terms of IT.”

Cloud-based hosting removes the need for energy-intensive on-site servers and local technical support. Amadeus’ airport cloud solution is in use at over 100 airports and provides more than 220 airline departure control systems with access.

When new airline starts operating at an airport, building costly departure control system connections is not necessary, as Amadeus uses the cloud.

“I think the vast majority are open to cloud technology, and you see more airports joining that trend.”

Cloud technology also removes the need for expensive on-site infrastructure to service passengers as software can be accessed on-demand over the internet. Passenger handling can adapt depending on airport capacity as a result of automation.

Amadeus Flow also offers travellers a range of contactless credit card payment methods which are accessible from the cloud In addition, biometric passenger identification is used at airports. The cloud can simplify the deployment of this.

“Like with all technology, you always see different attitude towards adopting the technology. There are airports that are willing to try out the new technology, and there are others who are a bit more hesitant,” Hirmer says.

“I think we are almost ten years down the line in terms of cloud technology entering the aviation industry. I think the vast majority are open to cloud technology, and you see more airports joining that trend.”

See How Technology is Taking Over Our Lifes






Recently, there has been an increase in the call for a solution to the ‘technology menace’ as it is termed. This menace is seen in the increased addiction of internet users to social media and other internet products; and the exploitation of internet users by internet companies.

In my personal experience (from which my opinion is taken), the internet and social media are like a two-faced coin; one side good and the other bad.

All innovation of mankind has been to solve imminent problems, either to protect him from his enemies, or help him carry out activities faster and better to sustain health and life. Once made, these inventions are soon abused and used against our existence and survival.

Here are two examples.Cocaine and Morphine are medical substances used as anesthesia; to carry out painful surgical operation on patients and used to release the sense of pain in severe injuries. This product was originally for health purposes, but governments are currently spending millions in fighting drug abuse and addiction.
The splitting of atoms, which releases high amount of heat energy, was a design to boost power generation to drive homes and industrial processes. This soon became a weapon of mass destruction, currently putting our planet at the brink of a nuclear war that can see an entire race extinct.

These, while being true, cannot overrule the business boosting and record breaking easy with which we now carry out tasks and live our lives.

The internet and computers are daily changing our lives and improving efficiency, almost taking over our lives. Here are some sectors where technology is taking over how we live and do business.Communication: Emails and social media platforms have changed communication, both individually and business-wise. Our age is called the IT (information technology) age because of the ease of flow of information, the world has become smaller by this and businesses have broken boundaries with high efficiency of operation.
Finance: Financial transactions and business deals are now completed in matters of seconds. Never have global transactions been this fast, secure and efficient. The dream of a global currency is becoming a reality with cryptocurrency.
Medicine and Health: Our generation have the lowest infant mortality rate, life-threatening surgical operations are now carried out successfully using the power of technology and the internet. The idea of constantly visiting a doctor for medical checks is almost becoming obsolete with the invention of wearable.
Energy and Power: Nuclear reactors, solar panels, are excellent examples of how technology has boosted energy availability and power generation.
Oil and Gas: Even in the exploration of oil and gas, there are a lot of ground breaking technologies that are changing how things are done in oil exploration; increasing the efficiency of the exploration process (which before involved a lot of rigorous processes that leave the environment polluted). One example of such innovation is FieldAp, an app that helps to digitize field operation and also for collaboration with its huge suite of software and frameworks.
Manufacturing: Robots are increasing the efficiency of manufacturing processes. In recent years output has increased by up to 20% from the last decade due to enhanced tech driven processes, Most prominent is the use of robots in manufacturing.

There are still a lot of tricks up the sleeves of technology, to reduce burn out in the workplace, increase the efficiency of our processes and consequently increase our output, it is important to note where technology can help us and positively exploit the opportunity as they are spotted.
