Murthy Bids Adieu: Asks Infoscions To Focus On Productivity, Intelligent Software
"Though productivity is output produced per unit cost incurred, measuring this metric in the context of software engineer is a non-trivial effort. Productivity at individual level will help the project manager better allocate work and manage resources," Murthy noted.
With commoditization of the company's core business increasing, Murthy said the primary differentiating factor in the marketplace would be determined by technological advances such finding efficiencies in improving in software delivery to its clients.
"I believe intelligent software is no longer an option but it is critical for the survival of the company and this industry. We live in a world where we have software that powers self-driving cars or robotic telescopes that automatically discover supernova," Murthy pointed out.

In his parting message to employees, Murthy said though growth and changes were painful, nothing was as painful as staying stuck where one does not belong.
