Here cloud computing is playing very important role

2. Anil Garg, CIO, Dabur India (FMCG) giant gives an
apt message to his peers, “Most of our
fraternity works as CTOs not CIOs. If we free
ourselves from infrastructure hassles by using
outsourcing and moving to the Cloud, we can
actually become business enablers and move
from being a CTO to a CIO. This is the
opportunity. Go ahead without inhibitions, it
works!”
