has come up with the result of the IT channel associations' survey

conducted recently. Out of close to 50 channel associations, the

Tirupur Information Technology Association ( href="https://www.dqweek.com/tita-bags-award-at-agm">TITA)

and South Gujarat

Information Technology Association (SITA) has bagged 7th and 8th

position respectively. Both these new entrants scored

significantly on the parameters, that included timely election,

awareness program, social activities and website updation. Despite of

being not inducted in the earlier studies, these two associations

have been recognized by the IDC with considerably good score over

those in large cities.

S Jayakumar, President, TITA said, "We

are in constant touch with our fellow association members and always

believe in maintaining a healthy relationship amongst our community.

In the long run, this will help us move ahead and achieve our goals.

TITA has always worked and will work for member partner benefit and

for the betterment of the industry." Jayakumar also said, that

at the time of the association formation, the vendor — channel

interaction was very poor in their area, and with the help of

association-driven activities it has improved.

Pinakin Patel, President, SITA said

that, they have a focus on member growth and development. The

association has resolved major issues of the regional channel

community, and has led various educational programs related to

illegal software and has organized motivational seminars. "Whenever

we receive any complaint regarding frauds of payment issues we call

both the parties and try to settle them happily. We also use to call

vendor representatives for any issues related to trade and service.

We regularly interact with the vendors to avoid such problems,"

said Patel.
