Information Technology Traders Association (ITTA),
Pondicherry, has elected a new set of office bearers for the current year. At a
recently held AGM, the members of the association have chosen Suresh Kummar Soni
to be the President of the association, while PN Prasad has been nominated as
Vice President; M Magesh as Secretary; Prabhakar as Joint Secretary and T
Sivakumar as the Treasurer. The new office bearers took up charge this month, as
the second offi-cially elected body.
Formed in 2002, the asso-ciation has a couple of imme-diate
challenges to tackle: containing payment defaults, increasing business from
government departments, protecting resellers' interest in business while
dealing with distributors/vendors, streng-thening the association th-rough
various activities which include membership drive and educating the channels on
'profitable business'.
"Last year, we met many of the objectives we had set for
the year including bringing in uniform pricing policy for service (both AMC and
per call), increasing the mem-bership, generating revenues through expos,
strengthening the association and bringing the channel community closer. Still
we have lot more to achieve," said Soni, the newly-elected President.
ITTA is upbeat about its functioning and performance. Proud
to be listed and ranked at number 19 in the latest DQ Channels-IDC survey for
channel associations of India, PN Prasad, Vice President, ITTA said, "It
was a pleasant surprise to see ITTA, Pondicherry ran-ked at No 19 in the
all-India association survey. It reflects our commitment to the orga-nization
and our integrity in the market. I am sure we would have notched up few more
points higher in the sur-vey, if we were a city associ-ation with a much larger
base."

Computers; Rajesh of Indica Computers, Saravanan of Trishul Systems, Nair of
