Cloud and edge technology enabling millions of products and services

Sachin Deshmukh, Managing Director, Softdel

New products and solutions 
Softdel drives digital innovation with our readily deployable product suite comprising communication stacks, simulation tools, Internet of Things (IoT) gateways, and our technology services for bespoke needs including device engineering, middleware platform development and integration, edge computing and cloud applications. As we enable digital transformation in IoT and cloud-enabled buildings and factories, we also address the biggest challenge the industry faces – lack of access to ‘trapped’ data. Softdel's solutions have forged connections with real-time data trapped in machines and devices, allowing end-users to avail of and utilise this information for making accurate business insights.

Impact of disruptive technologies in the future of work
Tech proliferation has accelerated the adoption of disruptive technologies, which are now a relentless reality for any business. Today, advanced technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence have been transforming work patterns globally. Cloud and edge technology will potentially enable millions of products and services. Some of the biggest opportunities and challenges will arise from new tools that could transform the world of work. Such is the power of disruptive technologies that it can lead to an altered status quo, new business values, and lasting change across all industries.

Adopting working arrangements to flexibly meet business needs
We were one of the first to encourage work-from-home for all employees during the pandemic, and we have since adopted a ‘hybrid’ policy for a connected, collaborative, and safe work environment. To foster a culture of innovation, we also recently moved into a state-of-the-art facility, the UNIDEL Innovation Center (UIC), a futuristic workspace that will facilitate our vital work to reach new heights. We plan to launch more innovation centers across India to benefit our employees.
