Changing course to avoid the tide

In a bid to take their economic reform movements a step further and to try to
avoid more cases of the likes of ABS Systems, TAIT has decided to take every
possible step to avoid such scams. The association has issued a letter stating
the action that would be taken on the offenders who were caught.

TAIT has issued a set of seven rules: firstly, the name of the party found
guilty of fraudulent activities will be published in TAIT active group and the
official TAIT magazine. Secondly, all the members will immediately stop giving
any due payments to this party, then, none of the members would indulge in any
business with that party from then on. Also all the main vendors will be
informed and requested to stop all business transactions with such parties; the
association will also lodge a complaint on behalf of the TAIT members at a
nearby police station; a penalty of the amount equal to the total damage done to
all the affected parties will have to be paid by the offenders; and finally all
warranties for material purchased by this party will be withdrawn by informing
the concerned vendors.

The recent case involving ABS Systems which was also covered by The DQ Week
has almost “scared” the IT industry in Mumbai and it seems that TAIT is in no
mood to take any chances.

When contacted Champak Raj Gujjar, Ex-Chairman and Director, TAIT said, “The
situation is pretty bad all over the nation these days, and we don't want any of
our members at least to suffer. Also, we want to spread some awareness regarding
these scams, as the people who eventually are affected suffer because of their
lack of awareness. We want to avoid more such scams.”

If someone is selling something at a generously low price, instead of
grabbing it, the partners should wonder that why is it so,” he added.

“TAIT has been quite active to mellow down the current recession effects and
this is an addittion to our endeavors,” stated Gujjar.

Earlier TAIT had issued some guidelines as to how to avoid businesses
recession to take a toll on channel partners. It surely is trying with all its
might to keep its members and other people safe. Let's hope it succeeds.
