non-IT folks in Trichy

There is always an opinion that IT and ITeS people earn more than required/average in their jobs and they make lot of money. This has been the situation compared to other jobs from the time IT came into popularity.

All non-computer science graduates, bank employees, B.Com graduates, B. Sc graduates, mechanical engineers, only school educated people - everyone, irrespective of their education, they all moved to IT and ITeS(Software) companies for jobs.

As it is generally considered, in an economy all the sectors has to grow. But, that was not the case in our economy. Software and BPO sectors were growing too fast, but other industries did not see that much growth.

Considering the current situation of the IT economy -
1) Global Economy slowdown
2) IT Services Major Satyam in deep trouble
3) Job loss and Unemployment increasing

These things happen in services industry. Non-IT people, who have not come into IT in their lifetime, would sadistically like this situation because this is not a great situation for IT, while IT folks has been showing off a lot during their good times.
People think about only IT and related and not other industries at all, in terms of education or even jobs or investment.

For example, if a parent wants to enroll his son/daughter into the college, they choose only IT or IT related courses. This is not good for the economy. The choice has to be varied and not just concentrated on one field. That is not good for the economy.

There is a similar situation in Sports in India. Everyone like Cricket and media covers only Cricket news. There are n number of sports in the world, but we don't care about it and it is not healthy at all. This is not good either.

Whenever is a problem realized, there is always solution following it. So, hopefully this wave of IT slowdown will bring some solution, I believe.

Thank you for listening.

What does Satyam Computers's situation mean to Trichy?

What does Satyam Computers's situation mean to Trichy?

We all know the situation of Satyam today, due to mishandling of accounts/books in Satyam Computers. What does this mean to Trichy and other cities??

Please find a news article from 2007 about Satyam Computer Services in Trichy.

2) Employees from all cities and Trichy to Satyam Computers will be affected because of this already. They will be laid off and they should be searching jobs and be in job market.
3) Potential Job Oppotunities in Trichy is devastated now.

Trichy Software Companies: IT Exports turning to Dubai, UK/Europe from USA

Sub-Contracting or Sub-Outsourcing to Trichy - Existing Trichy Software Companies or a new Trichy office

Advantages of Sub-Contracting or Sub-Outsourcing to Trichy Software Companies OR a new Trichy office for the Software Company XYZ:

1) Software Company XYZ could get the resources from Trichy.
2) Next to Honeywell's branch development office in Trichy, Software Company XYZ will be joining the group of software companies there.
3) Anything you spend in Trichy, you will be spending only one-fourth of the amount, which you might have spent in Hyderabad. For example, if Software Company XYZ is spending Rs.20,000 as CTC for a particular resource, we will be spending only Rs.5,000 in Trichy, in order to complete the same amount of work, without compromising quality. This advantage does not stop with the human resources only. This advantage could be tapped in other expenditures, in fact in infrastructure too.

Trichy Software Business: Future Online Software Business: Software as a service

I think the future of software is all going to be ONLINE. In other words it is called SaaS - Software as a Service.

The traditional software is always deployed in the company infrastructure and the software is used by the users in the company. These days it seems to behosted and used as a service. That is going to be the future as well.

Companies like salesforce.com started off their business like that only. Even traditional software businesses started in past, have an online version of the software available for them.

For example, accounting software companies like intuit - quickbooks have an online version of their software. NetSuite.com etc., has followed the same.

If you want to know about - Software as a service. Please read more in the last paragraph.

The reason I am explaining about SaaS. Because it is the current style, happenning and future of software business in the world, india and trichy. Also, I happenned to hear about a new company in Trichy, which had started a Software as a service business in trichy.

aveoinfotech.com. The software this company has come up with is - daybook.in. This software is hosted and it is in BETA stage of software development life cycle in trichy.

I congratulate this entrepreneur for starting this service and also appreciate for it. All the best for his venture. Why is Trichy Machan happy about it?? I am glad for the fact that this company is started in Trichy.:)

About SaaS - Software as a service

Software as a service (SaaS) is a software application delivery model where a software vendor develops a web-native software application and hosts and operates (either independently or through a third-party) the application for use by its customers over the Internet.

Customers do not pay for owning the software itself but rather for using it. They use it through an API accessible over the Web and often written using Web Services or REST. The term SaaS has become the industry preferred term, generally replacing the earlier terms Application Service Provider (ASP) and On-Demand.
