"The Global IT industry is undergoing a seismic change as the scope of IT buying expands to capture adjacencies beyond IT. This is not only changing the contours of the traditional buyer as we know it but also bringing technology to the very centre stage of organisational competitiveness," HCL Technologies Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer Shiv Nadar said.
