Today, software products run front and center to the progress of both the public and private sectors.

Whether it’s a leading provider of water management modernizing its data platform or an ed-tech company enhancing learning outcomes with its interactive learning experience, the number of use cases for these solutions is truly endless.

However, delivering reliable software in 2024 also has its challenges. Cybercriminals, for one, are an ever-present threat, with products that handle data often a prime target.

Additionally, while the work of organizations harnessing innovation leads to economic progress, doing so demands that they can develop new products at speed without compromising on quality. Examples like these underscore the importance of velocity for the software engineering industry and those that serve the wider public.

To address challenges like these and more, Horasis is proud to announce the appointment of Dr. Ranjit Tinaikar to its Technology Advisory Board.

As the CEO of Ness Digital Engineering, a global full-lifecycle digital services transformation company, Dr. Tinaikar is responsible for spearheading important solutions that improve how software services are delivered across the globe.

Much of this work is encapsulated within an emerging term called ‘Intelligent Engineering,’ an approach that looks to increase the velocity at which products move through release cycles by eliminating waste, and that leverages the power of data, AI and intelligence to improve engineering productivity.

“Horasis is extremely proud to announce the appointment of Dr. Ranjit Tinaikar to our Advisory Board so that global software initiatives can benefit from forward-thinking development approaches like those developed at Ness Digital Engineering,” said Frank-Jürgen Richter, Chairman of Horasis.

“These solutions have the potential to deliver incredible economic benefits and improve societal well-being,” Richter added.

Said Dr. Tinaikar, “It’s an honor to represent Ness Digital Engineering in the global Horasis community. Through this partnership, we’re committed to driving meaningful conversations and sharing insights that encourage growth and efficiency, powered by intelligent processes.”

Dr. Tainaikar was appointed as the CEO of Ness Digital Engineering in 2020, following his more than 20 years of experience driving growth in the technology sector.

This included serving as President of data and analytical services business Fitch Solutions, where he repositioned the business for growth through strategic investments and acquisitions. Prior to this, he was the Managing Director of Advisory & Investment Management, a business unit of Thomson Reuters, where he led the successful revenue turnaround of a business serving major financial services firms globally.

Dr. Tinaikar was also a Partner at McKinsey, where he was one of the earliest leaders in forming its digital practice, founding the Lean Software Development and IT strategy practices.
