VARIndia has completed another eventful year. In other words, we will be entering the tenth year of our successful operations. During the last one year, VARIndia has added some out-of-the-box services in its offerings, which include sending news through SMS service and uploading video interviews onto its website. This has enabled us to bring more traffic into our website - www.varindia.com. During this period, we have also grown substantially. As the IT landscape is changing, VARIndia has adapted itself with success to the changing needs of the market. Our publication has evolved into a popular magazine for the Value Added Reseller segment, covering the entire gamut of technology and value offerings. All these developments have happened because of our readers, friends and well-wishers. Thank you very much!
September 2008 Edition
Now, as we are already committed to adding value to our publication all the time in the years to come, we have planned to strengthen our testing activities, making them more powerful and effective. Similarly, VARIndia website will be more interactive this year. We will add more new features to this, wherein the channel partners and the vendors, apart from using it for content, will be able to use it as a dedicated domain for B2B interaction and transaction. We will also focus a lot on the physical platform for B2B interactions in various regions. Though we started this activity only last year, our focus will be to broad base it. This service will have a lot to do with international clients in terms of introducing their offerings and services into the Indian market.
VARIndia Star Nite Awards, which has become an annual feature in early November, has been a much-awaited event in the Indian IT market. As per schedule, this will take place in November this year. Our another annual event for helping the government sector – IT Forum – will also be given more focus and will be taken to different states.
As the September issue happens to be our annual issue, we have tried to give maximum information on the channel and this time we have brought out a compendium of the success stories of VARs, Sis and retailers in the Indian market. Hope you will find these very useful. In case you have any feedback, please write to us at the following ID.
