Microsoft Enterprise India – Voice of CIO, August, 2011

Voice of the CIO
August 2011 Communiqué

How can we create a seamless work environment for a global workforce? How can we cross the barriers of time and geography so that it does not hamper business growth? Chances are you have asked yourself these questions, much like Alok Misra, Group CFO,WNS.

In a recent Webcast, Alok shared how despite working in multiple locations, a new workflow within SharePoint helped WNS cut down their Security and Exchange Commission filing process from 75 days to a record 29 days. In addition, a 30% reduction in costs and elimination of multiple document versions, has helped Alok battle a previously tedious process. I was particularly amazed to note how WNS used this technology to conduct their first ever paperless board meeting.

As businesses grow global, communicating and working across time-zones is on the rise. I invite you to share your thoughts on how we can address the new gamut of challenges using technology that makes our workplaces tick.

Warm regards,

Punit Modhgil
Director, Enterprise Marketing
