| IT/ ITES, BFSI & Professional Services invest heavily in IT |
Medium businesses (MBs) are preparing for the next round of spending on IT in 2008-2009 - with not only desktops, notebooks and printers, but also connectivity and server deployments becoming a fact of life at most Medium Businesses.
The level of IT adoption varies across industry verticals:
BFSI
The Banking, Finance, Security & Insurance (BFSI) sector has been very keen on the adoption of IT with high investments going into building a robust IT infrastructure and ensuring its safeguard. The survey respondents in this sector spent an average of Rs 83.7 lakh on IT in 2007-2008.
Kotak Wealth Management comes across as a good example of a well-integrated IT infrastructure. The company has around 400 employees with an IT team of about 10 people. The company has deployed about 15 servers that run on different platforms depending on the applications running on them. In terms of security, Kotak Wealth Management has in place almost all the security solutions from Trend Micro.
IT/ ITES
The IT/ ITES sector fulfilled expectations and was the top spender on IT. Despite the impact of a fluctuating dollar, IT/ ITES companies are forecasting high growth in the current year. An average company in this sector spent over Rs 1.09 Cr to quench its thirst for technology. Right from basic infrastructure like desktops, printers, connectivity to enterprise applications and emerging technologies, the IT/ ITES sector was the frontrunner in most technology verticals.
