Chennai based computer peripheral manufacturer TVS Electronics organized a Software Solutions Provider (SSP) summit in Mumbai on Sept 12, 2003. This summit aimed to create a partnership between TVSE and SSPs for tapping the growing opportu-nities and penetrating in to the SME segment.
According to the company, this summit would enable it to work with the SSP’s customers and vice versa through the strong TVSE channel of about 1,500 channel partners across the country. Post the confere-nce, TVSE would be looking at setting up a ‘Mumbai Solutions Advisory Council’ to evolve a program for collaboration. The summit will also create an opportunity for dialogue bet-ween small application software vendors and
TVSE.
Through the summit, the company is targeting all the SME segments, which includes pharmacies, garments, retail super markets, transport, cou-rier and cargo, chain stores, sho-wrooms, jewelry etc.
