Growing demand for Project Management and Project Management Solutions
Project Management is becoming a fast growing discipline in India. Post recession, industries in India have realized the importance of managing their resources (human and material), projects and tasks effectively and efficiently. India’s fast growing economy has put a lot of strain in the current infrastructure, which has not kept pace with the development. This has created tremendous opportunity for both public and private companies to participate in the infrastructure development. These developments need to be fast and has to meet aggressive time lines. This concludes that such organizations should have strict processes, project management practices and tools & solutions to manage these projects.
Fastest Growing Server Platform
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is the fastest growing product in Microsoft’s history. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is on a billion-dollar quest to potentially become the next must-have technology, offering companies tools for building everything from collaborative applications to Internet sites. Its six focus areas are collaboration, portal, search, ECM (Enterprise Content Management), BPM (Business Process Management), and BI (Business Intelligence). SharePoint has plenty of financial opportunities for third-party independent software vendors and systems integrators.”
