IT Democratisation and Empowerment Pave the Way for a More Collaborative Workforce in India

68% of Non-IT Employees in India Are More Knowledgeable About IT Than They Were Before 2020

CHENNAI, India, Dec. 1, 2022 (GNI): ManageEngine, the enterprise IT management division of Zoho Corporation, today announced the results from its IT at Work: 2022 and Beyond study. The global study surveyed 3,300 decision-makers across IT and other key business functions in organisations across 18 countries, including India.

The study examined the post-lockdown democratisation and empowerment of IT functions across organisations, the adoption of relevant IT skills across departments, changes in the job-related perceptions of IT decision-makers (ITDMs) and business decision-makers, the current significance of AI and ML to IT security and collaboration between teams as a result of the hybrid work culture. In addition to analysing the marked post-lockdown shift towards IT democratisation and empowerment as well as the business-oriented benefits these entail, the study also observed a notable rise in IT knowledge amongst non-IT employees.

“Our primary aim with this study was to shed light on the current state of ITDMs and the need for IT democratisation and empowerment for a well-knit organisation today. The swift acceleration of digitalisation catalysed by the pandemic has, without a doubt, made the role that IT plays in enterprises more vital than ever. The findings of the study also demonstrate how the involvement of ITDMs in implementing business decisions can boost organisational performance as a whole,” said Shailesh Davey, Co-Founder and Vice President of Engineering at Zoho.

A Successful Hybrid Work Culture Demands Collaboration Between IT and Non-IT Teams

§ Implementing a flexible or remote work culture has become a new norm for organisations. This requires smooth collaboration between IT and non-IT departments.

§ In India, 91% of business and technology leaders agree that collaboration between IT and other lines of business has increased in the past two years.

§ In addition, 76% of India’s ITDMs feel they were adequately consulted by their organisations when implementing flexible work models, 12% more than the global average (64%).

IT Democratisation

§ The study found that 53% of Indian organisations have successfully decentralised their IT structures.

§ This has had a positive effect on non-IT departments, with 68% of non-IT employees being more knowledgeable about IT than they were before 2020.

§ In addition, 67% of all Indian respondents cited innovation as IT decentralisation’s biggest benefit (versus 57% globally), and 69% cited maintaining IT security as the biggest challenge (versus 56% globally).

AI and ML Are Crucial Contributors to Strengthening IT Security Frameworks

§ Of the surveyed ITDMs, 85% agree that organisations’ existing security landscapes need to change to ensure protection against cyberattacks.

§ Nearly all ITDMs (91%) believe that organisations can strengthen their IT security frameworks by continuing to invest in technologies like AI and ML.

The Future of the IT Workforce

§ Of India’s ITDMs, 53%are actively looking for anew job, versus 48% globally.

§ Fifty-two percent of India’s ITDMs feel less loyal to their employers than they did two years ago, versus a global average of 49%.

§ Sixty-seven percent of India’s ITDMs are more willing to make a risky career move than they were two years ago, versus a global average of 65%.

§ Of India’s ITDMs, 82% feel that their organisations have not supported them in the last two years (versus 70% globally), which in turn has led to a decrease in employee loyalty.
