Presenting India's finest IT solution and service providers
India’s
best System Integrators
The System Integrator community is at a tipping point. With
enterprise IT witnessing robust demand, SIs are presently
at the same stage where Indian software export companies were
in the mid-1990s.
India's
best Solution Providers
Specialisation is the key in today’s business. When we
set out with our awards process, we had decided to have only
one common category, that of Solution Provider.
India's
best Enterprise Var
This category witnessed an average growth of 25 percent, keeping
pace with its peers in the Advance Market, a sign that economic
growth is secular and is percolating down to the emerging
markets.
India's
best Sub-Distributors
Last year was marked by several major shifts in the sub-distribution
segment. An important shift identified by most of the nominees
was the fact that sub-distribution as a pure-play business
model is increasingly becoming unviable due to plunging margins
and the introduction of Value Added Tax (VAT).
India's
best Retailers
It isn’t difficult to understand why most IT vendors
are bullish about retail. A quick look at the growth performance
of the nominees suggests that IT retailing has finally come
of age. Take the example of Online PC Systems, which doubled
its revenues from Rs 9 crore in 2004-05 to Rs 18 crore last
fiscal. Pune-based Cybernet IT, winner in the emerging category,
recorded an 80 percent jump.
India's
best System Builders
While analysts predict that assembled systems are losing out
to branded PCs due to falling prices and changing customer
preferences, the growth performance of nominees suggests otherwise.
