Sify Business Statement#AloneTogetherSify Covid-19 Response
CUSTOMER APPRECIATION

Government said Lockdown. We said “Bring it On”

More than 2 months into the nationwide lockdown and Sify ensured that India Working From Home is as good as India working from Office.

And customers tend to agree.

We highly appreciate you all & your backend teams who supported, for meticulous planning and discipline in adhering to the plan, with zero risks and seamless execution of it during our network hub and data center rebuild project. As it is the bank’s production data center, many critical applications are hosted in it and it is also the main networking hub for PAN India. It was required to be extremely cautious and careful during the entire execution phase of the project.

Both Sify and Bank teams have acted as a single unit for delivery of the project and hence we are able to complete the entire rebuild, without a delay of a single day. The entire project tenure was frictionless due to the sincerity towards timely completion, well defined RFP, SoW, and acceptance by Sify.

Fantastic governance is done by Rajiv for proactively raising red flags. Both Bank and Sify teams have jointly & timely addressed all showstoppers of the project well in time and it immensely helped during the journey of the entire project.

We hereby accept the project as all testing is successful (ISAT, Cooling, Power, etc) and made server hall live.

Thank you so much, Rajiv, Rameshwari, and Arshad once again. Stay safe and secure during the current Covid-19 lockdown!!

To deliver smooth and timely services to our customers, we have high dependencies – on the network between offices, primary data centers, and disaster recovery sites. These enable the core ERP to run smoothly across our group companies, including the internet uptime which is important for access to our applications and website.

As a strategic partner, Sify has supported us in ensuring 99.5% uptime access to all the servers and applications. Our employees were able to access them even from outside office.

In the last few days, our internet connection was down due to a technical fault and this created a lot of hurdles for us while working.

Today Rajinder Singh, a Field Engineer from Sify had visited our office to fix the issue. Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, the route between Jammu and Rajouri is closed for transport. Despite this, Rajinder traveled on a government transport vehicle (vegetable truck), facing a lot of challenges on the way. His single-minded purpose was to somehow reach our office, resolve the technical fault, and get the connection working again. His sincere efforts made nearly impossible support, possible.

Now, our internet connection is working fine. I feel quite thankful to him, for his efforts.

The last few weeks have been quite challenging for all of us, managing different responsibilities, increased load, pressure, and seeing things change around us at an unprecedented pace.

Amidst all of this we had our challenge of getting Virtual Desktops setup for our employees, where we couldn’t manage a laptop. It was great to observe that our key strategic partner stepped up to this challenge and helped us accomplish and end to end setup of AWS Virtual Desktops in just about a week’s time. This is indeed phenomenal and quite heartening to see the alignment between teams for accomplishing a customer objective.

My heartfelt thanks to Alok, Krishna, Chennappachetty, Saravanan, Maruthan, Ariff & Ramesh from the Sify team for working tirelessly and getting this critical capability delivered in a such a short span of time. While all of you had different roles to play and did that to the best of your capabilities, what makes it truly special is the strong element of TEAMWORK which held it together and made these efforts successful. In the same vein would also like to thank Ravi for leading this, ably supported by Pardeep, for making this a reality at PLI.

Here’s hoping that we continue to deliver more of such business-critical initiatives with a similar level of alignment, commitment, and agility.

I want to thank you for the fantastic job done by Sify team and especially Rajat Roy, during COVID-19 lockdown. Since work from home was the new normal for all of us, providing IT support became extremely crucial for the business. We have done quick changes during the lockdown, like change in set IT group policies, patch management, timely user advisories, Microsoft Teams implementation, and enabling of Multi-factor authentication across the organization. We achieved all these goals within a set timeline.

Rajat did a really good job by training FieldFresh team members on the new technologies which made a huge difference. I am certain that the team also feels rewarded and recognized under his guidance.

Since its first detection in China, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has now spread to over 210 countries/territories, with reports of local transmission happening across the world.

To contain the outbreak, many countries have closed their borders to arrivals from countries with infections, ordered businesses to close, and instructed their populations to self-quarantine

and many of the countries have locked down the cities. India is currently in the amid of a 21-day lockdown, that began on March 25, to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

Considering the current COVID-19 lockdown situation, our stockists are barely making transactions in Forum NXT starting from the 20th of March 2020.
