VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

West Bengal government is trying hard to impress the IT sector to divert its attention towards the state. The state government has invited Microsoft to set up a facility in West Bengal and promised necessary "support and infrastructure" to the company.

Partha Chatterjee, the state IT Minister said, "We need to have you (Microsoft) in the State and we assure you that our Chief Minister will provide all the necessary support to help you set up a facility here." He was speaking in a seminar on IT organised by the Bengal Chamber of Commerce.

Bhaskar Pramanik, Microsoft India chairman, was present on the occasion. Microsoft has a sales office in the city at present. The prominent IT players who have so far set up their facilities in the State include Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and IBM.

According to a market report, Chatterjee has asked for a report from Microsoft seeking the feasibility of cloud computing to benefit the cluster approach taken by the State government.
