In conversation with Sundar Lakshmanan, Director & CEO, Lakson Technology.

Please provide a synopsis of Lakson Technologies. And how has it been in the field of IT generally so far?
Lacson Technologies is an IT services company that has been in the business for nearly 10 years. It initially started by providing digital scanning services to support companies in their digitalization efforts. Over time, the company expanded its services and started implementing solutions in response to customer demands for a more permanent and comprehensive solution. This DMS solution was well-received by customers, prompting Lakson Technologies to develop it into a

platform that could be implemented across an entire enterprise, serving various departments such as HR,finance, marketing, and engineering. As the company identified pain points and sought to provide more automation, it ventured into business process management (BPM) solutions by partnering with global technology vendors. The company's journey has been successful and exciting, with a focus on leveraging emerging technologies including AI-powered Intelligent document Processing, and RPA and integrating them with the DMS.

how your offering improved the situation for your client?
One of our challenging projects involved implementing DMS for an industrial group located in Haryana. The project presented several challenges, particularly because it commenced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the remote working environment, we had to conduct the entire implementation remotely. This posed a significant challenge as we had to collaborate with the customerand address their requirements without physically visiting their location. To meet the customer's needs, we worked with our technology vendors to customize and automate the product. The customer had high expectations and wanted more features than the existing product, which complicated the project. Despite the initial difficulties posed by the remote implementation and customization requirements, the project yielded positive outcomes for the customer's document management needs.

What future have you conceived for Lakson Technologies?
In the next five years, our company will adapt to rapidly changing technologies and help clients integrate new technologies to improve process efficiency and customer service. Document management is still important, especially in pape rheavy countries like India. Thus, we need an AI driven DMS with analytics. Also, we plan to build a lab and invest in technology as our objective is to offer a SaaS-based DMS platform because customers are moving toward it.

Hence, we'll use AI, analytics, and IDP to create an integrated document management system that meets our clients' changing needs. We invest in our people and capabilities to provide a comprehensive and innovative solution, staying ahead of industry advances.
