OITF creates history!

Once again, Kalinga Digital Media successfully organized Orissa Information Technology Fair - 2011 (OITF) on 28th January, 2011 in Bhubaneswar. Bhubaneswar witnessed coming together of the Government PSUs, large institutions and SMBs under one roof to understand the trends and progress of Information Technology in the State. Shri Pradeep Kumar Jena, IAS, Commissioner-cum-Secretary, Department of IT, Government of Orissa, and Shri P. Krishna Mohan, IFS, Director, Biotechnology-cum-Additional Secretary to the Government of Orissa, inaugurated the Fair by lighting the ceremonial lamp.

Other dignitaries who graced the occasion included M. Chakraborty, Director, IIT, Bhubaneswar; Ashwini Aggarwal, Executive Director, MAIT; Manu Vinod, Country Category Manager, StorageWorks Division, HP India Sales Pvt. Ltd.; Angelo Barboza, Product Manager, IT Infrastructure, Rittal India Pvt. Ltd.; Rajan Verma, Sales Director, Alvarion; Gagandeep Nagra, Business Development Manager, Google India; and Kapil Awasthi, Security Consultant, Check Point; and J. P. Pandey, Vice-President, PRESTO.

Addressing the audience, Shri Pradeep Kumar Jena said, "The State currently has the conducive investment climate. In the past 12 months, the investment has happened in the biotechnology sector. The same importance is being given to the IT. However, the full potential has not yet been realized. But events like this are surely a helping hand and I appreciate VARIndia's efforts."

This year, the event saw a full-day seminar divided into two sessions broadly. The day comprised of vendors sharing details about their technology and products and their relevance to the state of Orissa. It was used as a platform to provide networking between the vendors and the Government of Orissa and various potential market verticals. Prof. M. Chakraborty, addressing the audience in the inaugural session, shared his views, "Today, it is necessary that we should expand our vision and horizons as there are many information technology takers awaiting still to be touched. And this is the event which comes as a helping hand towards it."

"This attempt is purely for the purpose of understanding IT corporates (vendors) and to enable their mechanism to create custom-built solutions in a cost-effective manner for the state of Orissa. We are expecting two hundred guests comprising CXOs and government officials cutting across various verticals of the InfoTech industry," adds Deepak Kumar Sahu, Publisher, VARIndia.

Since the IT product companies are dependent on the Channel and Value Added Resellers (VARs) for sales and services for them, the evening session was used by the vendors to share their strategies to enable the Orissa IT channel community tap the potential and enhance their businesses.

The event concluded with the prize distribution ceremony for the recently organized 20-20 Cricket tournament by the Kalinga Digital Media. Besides the Man of the Match, Man of the Series and the runners-up team award, the most-awaited award for the winning team of the tournament was bagged by STPI.

In total, not only vendors, SIs and resellers across the State but also IT heads of engineering colleges and various departments of the Government of Orissa attended it. The event meant business and fun for all.
