ASIRT concludes successful Techday

Mumbai-based Association of System Integrators and Retailers in Technology (ASIRT) recently concluded its Techday on 21st June, wherein the association created a platform for its members to connect with CIOs and CFOs. This was for the first time ever the association has conducted a event of this format.

Kshitij Kotak, president, ASIRT said, "We have achieved the most important breakthrough for the association and its members. We have managed to establish the credibility of ASIRT and its members in front of CIOs who regretted they did not know about ASIRT till date and have promised to ensure priority access and spread the word within the community of CIOs."

Through its Techday, the association has managed to create a channel to extend their reach into enterprise segment. Kotak said, "CIOs and CFOs were extremely frank and forthcoming and also expressed keenness to guide and speed up ASIRT members' preparedness to work with them."

Kotak said, "Members took back many learnings from CIOs; they were astonished when CIOs explained that they are always looking for trustworthy confidant, a man Friday, who can solve their business problems and guide them through technology maze. Not only that, but CIOs and CFOs may reject a vendor that quotes too low as they understand that their ability to fulfil SLA is suspected. CIOs emphasized that customer references are invaluable to them."

There was a panel discussion wherein the panelists included Anup Mathur, Center for Recognition and Excellence, Subhash Palkar, Ajit Inamdar, Sanjay Mehta of MAIA Intelligence.

Apart from this, ASUS and Intel had unveiled their products. Asus rolled out its Transformer AiO P1801PC - a PC that Transforms into a Tablet and Intel showcased their new offerings, The Next Unit of Computing (NUC) and 4th generation Intel Core processors.
