a bid to hasten things up in the domain of IT sales,
IT
Association (BITA) is planning to hold an annual expo said to be
scheduled towards the end of November 2010. “We are planning to
come up with an exclusive IT expo by the end of November this year.
There hasn't been much of a thing happening in the channel space in
the state with peace prevailing in business as well as in the
market,” said Naveen Gupta, Secretary, BITA. lang="en-IN">
the plan is still in a deliberation stage in the association, BITA
has claimed that there has been much of an enthusiasm over the expo.
“The planned expo will be vendor driven in terms of sponsorships.
All sponsorships will be exclusively taken from the vendors. The
channel partners, however, will have the option of taking up stalls
and space in the expo,” added Gupta. lang="en-IN">

IT association's activity in the state
to
the previous year has been low with no major developments taking
place this year. Some of the major members opined that because of
this there has been a “loss of interest amidst the members.” lang="en-IN">
“
there
is strife in the business scenario or a bit of tension, the
need for association's intervention does not arise primarily. Also,
with the business scenario seemingly good, channel partners are
concentrating more over their business. It is not that BITA is not of
interest to us but it's need is not felt at this hour,” a dealer
from Patna said on condition of anonymity. lang="en-IN">
to Gupta, BITA is planning to hold the expo by the end of November
primarily on account of two reasons as he elaborates, “The festive
season and Diwali will be over by the time we are planning the expo
and there will be enthusiasm among the members also. In the festive
season, our members will be busy with their social as well family
responsibilities. Also, the elections in the state will be over by
then with the verdict out.” lang="en-IN">
most of the channel partners in the capital of the state seem to be
frustrated with the State IT policy not been implemented. “The
situation is dubious and we don't have any clue about the reasons
for postponing the State IT policy,” said another dealer from Patna
on grounds of anonymity. lang="en-IN">
the same fact, Gupta added, “It seems that the government is busy
planning the elections. It would have been better if the policy was
implemented before that. However, at this point of time, we don't
have any intimation about the implementation dates or schedule about
the policy. It is only after the elections, that the situation will
brighten up in this regard.” lang="en-IN">
