The Power of India consequently, comprehended the possible for receiving external exchange. In 1972, the power formulated the Software Export Scheme. This scheme created the abiility of hardware imports in transactions of Software exports. TCS came to be the early stable to concur to this condition. The year 1974 marked the commencing of Software exports from India.
Phase II: 1980- 1990 Despite the government initiatives, the software exports were not picking up because of two reasons mainly: The exports of Software, was deeply reliant on the imports of hardware, that was expensive as well as the procedure for obtaining the alike was extremely cumbersome.
To counter these, the Govt formulated a New Computer Strategy in 1984, that clear import procedures and additionally decreased the import obligation on hardware for multimedia developers. In an endeavor to create, multimedia industry autonomous of the hardware industry, the power in 1986, formulated Multimedia Strategy that more, liberalized the IT industry.

India is additionally creating extremely momentous strides onward frugally and is poised to come to be an commercial world power by 2020. As agriculture is yet the predominant employer and commercial mainstay of the state, industries give a extremely colossal percentage to the economy. This contribution has increased extra quickly afterward the government opened up the economy and adjusted its commercial strategy to contain liberalisation and globalisation. With extra external firms going in the state and extra Indian firms becoming MNCs, India is anticipated to have one of the fastest predicted commercial development rates in the world. Currently its GDP is producing at the rate of an average of 7.5%. IT industries responsible for 6% of the GDP of India and provides employment directly or indirectly for above 11.5 million people. It additionally contributes considerably to Indias exports: accounting for concerning 18% in 2001. India produces roughly 150,000 technically and socially adept builders every single year. Most of them travel to industrialized asserts and form an integral portion of the workforce there, therefore becoming Indias most beloved export. The development of knowledge as a field of education commenced alongside the formation of the early Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Kharagpur in 1951, by the then Education Minister Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. The IITs stay, till date, one of the best amid the premier technical institutes in the globe, bestowing elevated quality training in both the hypothetical and useful aspects of engineering. The concept of IT as an industry started to seize origin in India in the late 1960s. Till then, India used to import the EVS EM computers from the Soviet Union. But in 1968, Tata Firm industrialized the Tata Consultancy Services that quickly came to be the biggest software providers of the 60s. The Nationwide Informatics Centre was instituted in 1975 and was pursued by a boom of indigenous IT firms such as Tata Infotech, Patni Computers and Wipro. Even though the development of industries as such was sluggish in the pre-liberalisation dates, both Indira Gandhi and Rajeev Gandhi were convinced that electronics and telecommunication industry were up-coming. The Indian government crafted three widearea computer networking schemes: INDONET that was aimed to assist IBM webs across the state, NICNET- the web crafted for the NIC, and Education and Research Network (ERNET) that was oriented towards educational research; in the years 19861987.

In the 21st century, India has increased to the locale of one of the biggest IT capitals of the world. As of 2006, technologically inclined services sector in India accounted for 40% of the countrys GDP and 30% of export earnings.
Perhaps no other industry has altered the middle and higher middle class populace of India as far as the IT sector. As the formation of the IIT, technical education has grown like an ever increasing tree alongside new engineering colleges onset every single day. It is of sequence the fondest desire of all Indian parents that their youngster becomes whichever a builder or a doctor. As the main 1950s technical education has been the ticket out of poverty and to a comfortable life for the people of India. The first huge wave of Indians travelling to the US in find of elevated accomplished jobs was across the 1950s and the 60s. An approximated 10,000 Indians were stayed in the US by the year 1960. This phenomenon, recognized as brain drain activated off the mass migration of a colossal number of Indians to various countries around the world in search of jobs with better pay and comforts. This plausibly impacted India in a negative method, because even nevertheless the populace steadily increased, the number of skilled workers in India went on reducing. The subsequent wave of Indian migration to the US transpired in the 90s. The number of Indian Americans grasped 1.7 million in the year 2000. The development of the IT industry has additionally helped to forge affirmative governmental ties alongside asserts round the globe for the public transactions of intellectual resources.

To Identify the Indian IT industrys comparison with US markets and other countries
US experience alongside software outsourcing to India The most frequently quoted reasons for outsourcing is the shortage of skilled professionals in the US Firms claim that they plainly cannot find enough software professionals fast enough. In supplement, firms outsource because they do not want to invest in in-house skill in spans beyond their core-competence (such as developing requests for old computing platforms) and to free their in-house IT staff from mundane maintenance tasks for other creative projects. Firms involved in developing multimedia produce emphasized the demand for accelerating product development in the face of ever-shorter product lifecycles. US firms outsource to Indian firms to access more specialized engineering talent, mainly in the area of telecommunications. Other reasons contain the option of round the clock procedures and the skill of Indian vendors to amass "functional" teams of builders at a extremely short notice. One reason that we expected to hear, but oftentimes did not, was outsourcing to cut costs. Countless of the respondents downplayed this subject, asserting that price was a relatively minor consideration. This appears to be a reply to the prevailing concern in the US about the probable damage to US engineers from software outsourcing and inflow of foreign software programmers. It is additionally inconsistent alongside the comprehensive worth contest that prevails in the Indian multimedia industry. Many say that there are excellent programming and coding skills available in India Also Indian vendors are good and willing learners, and receptive to new ideas, and flexible in terms of the software and hardware platforms for which they provide services. There are a number of areas of dissatisfaction also. Indian firms at times had no domain knowledge and poor management skills. Even a highly rated Indian subsidiary of a leading electronics and communication firm was considered 4-5 years behind the latest communication technologies. Most of the managers in the US believed that Indian firms could not work on high level specifications or project definition stages of a project, although for the most part, this belief had not been tested. Many were critical of the Indian system of promoting software programmers to managers based on seniority rather than on proven managerial ability. This weakened project management. Indian firms, on the other hand, have cited this practice as a way of providing a career path to their professionals and a major part of their attempts to hold down employee attrition. Indian productivity levels are lower as well. For instance, managers at the electronics and telecom firm believe that they needed to assign more engineers to task in their Indian subsidiary than would be assigned in the US.

Employee attrition seems to be a big problem and Indian suppliers need to tackle it quickly. Sometimes an entire project team would leave after the first six months, causing substantial delays. Some Indian firms are unable or unwilling to move up the value chain. This would make us firms to outsource more software design and development tasks to its Indian vendors. In particular, firms would like suppliers to display more initiative in identifying business problems it faces and propose solutions.
GROUP NO. 2
Also there are a number of cultural and political issues that are seen as irritants or barriers. One such issue is the apparent unwillingness of Indian software professionals to point out potential problems up-front, and in general, an unwillingness to say no for fear of offending the clients. Another linked weakness is the lack of familiarity of many Indian firms and professionals with the work culture and work norms in the West, and especially in the United States. Other difficulties included resistance within the US to foreign programmers, poor telecommunication infrastructure, and the delays in obtain required visas for Indian programmers. Comparing the IT industry in India and China
China mainly focuses its IT industrial policy on infrastructure and high technology. Through massive expansion of telephone networks, PC manufacturing and adoption, extensive use of the internet and IT applications, and a pool of trained, demanding users and the managers and technicians to provide services to them. On the other hand, even though Chinese literacy and general education is higher than in India, Indias English speaking professional class of employees are an advantage in the increasingly globalized IT industry. To snatch the top off-shoring title from India, China is relying on expatriates. Like their Indian counterparts, Chinese-American entrepreneurs from the Bay Area are going back to their homeland with Silicon Valley know-how, connections and capital to help build a mushrooming software industry. Chinas advantage Cheap labour: Chinese IT professionals have salaries which are at par with (or even lower than) their Indian counterparts. Market opportunity: China is attracting multinational corporations that need help to localize their products for the Chinese market. Domestic demand: Chinas domestic market requires software services not like in India, where the market still does not consider software as a necessity. China as gateway: The Chinese also serve customers from Japan and Korea, whose culture, language and geography are closer to the mainland than India. India's outsourcing firms have struggled to tap these markets. Indias advantage Tata, Infosys and Wipro, the top three Indian software outsourcing firms, have been trying to make a foundation in China, and are trying to profit from Chinas rise. In October 2002, Tata opened a development center in Hangzhou. Infosys opened a center in Shanghai , and also Wipro is considering expansion in China

Skilled Labor: Although labour costs for an entry-level programmer in China are lower than in India, experienced management is pricier in China. China does not have enough skilled IT resources to meet domestic and export software demands. It is willing to give up a large piece of its market to gain these resources. Attempt to use China as gateway: There is vast potential revenue in the Chinese domestic market, and markets such as Korea and Japan. Infosys plans to use its China centres to support Asian Pacific clients, rather than its North American customers. Instead of the differences in Chinas and Indias approach to the Internet, their similarities may be more telling. Both are developing nations. The expatriate community has been an important source of ideas, expertise, contacts, and funds for both India and China. Most important, with large, unserved populations, they both face the same demographic and geographic issues, and in this they are representative of much of the world. We are still in the early days of the Internet and IT. And it can be hoped that both India and China will make momentous innovations in the industry in the future. It may be in the form of consulting business strategists, or the value proposition may even be a joint one with unique approaches from solid alliance partners and joint ventures between the two countries. Brazil The Government of Brazil has published a sprouting set of interoperability standards for electronic government known as the e-PING program, which address semantic, technical and organizational issues, as well promote open standards and public or free software. It covers federal government-to-government, federal government to-state government, federal government-to-citizen, federal government-to-business, and federal governmentto-foreign government information exchanges. E-ping standards and policies are mandatory for all federal government agencies and apply to all new and legacy systems. As a matter of general policy, government agencies are to prioritize the adoption of open standards meeting technical specifications wherever possible. In the absence of open standards, proprietary standards will be accepted, but only on a temporary interim basis until an open standard replacement can be secured. In addition, consistent with the general policy, government agencies must prioritize the use of public software and/or free software in the implementation of interoperability standards. For purposes of implementing such policy free software has been defined as source code available for anyone to use, copy, and distribute in its original or modified form either free or at cost, and is necessarily non-proprietary. And an open standard is one that: 1) Enables the interoperability between several application platforms, internal and external ALLIANCE ASCENT COLLEGE

Russia The day following the release of the European Commissions final EIF, Russian Federation Prime Minister Vladimir Putin signed an executive order setting forth specific guidelines that mandate the complete transition from proprietary to free software by all Russian federal executive bodies and agencies during 2011-2015. Apparently, the concept underlying the executive order was first openly discussed by the Russian Ministry of Communication during 2007 when Mr. Putin still held the Office of the Russian Presidency. The open forum had followed from the results of a cursory study entitled, Concept of the Development and Use of Free Software in the Russian Federation, which cited the importance of open source software for the development of Russia, for the securing of significant budgetary savings, for reducing dependence on foreign manufacturers and software providers and for increasing the intellectual potential of the country. Consistent therewith, in October 2008, the Russian Ministry of Communication announced a framework for the mandatory installation of free software on all Russian school computers by year end 2009. These activities were subsequently followed by a late February 2009 meeting convened by the principal of the Russian Federations Ministry of Communications and Mass Communications and representatives of Russian Free and Open Source Software (RFOSS) development companies, including VDEL...to discuss concrete steps that could be taken by the state to support the RFOSS development process. One possible step that had previously been discussed but not resolved during an earlier February 2009 roundtable meeting concerned whether the Russian government should actively seek to create and control a closed national system of open source software for Russian developers. Apparently, some within the Russian FOSS community did not favour such an outcome. According to VDEL CEO Milan Prohaska, the governments of China and Brazil made efforts to control the process of open source software development, i.e. to create closed operating systems. This approach just led them to a dead end...The idea of creating an exclusive Russian information system (to be developed in Russia and for Russian users only) is, in essence, an attempt to build an information ghetto for Russian programmers, to limit them both at home and foreign markets. Rather, in order to create a real operating system in Russia, it was recommended that Russia fully integrate itself into the global development process.

It is therefore not surprising that the South African government, a leading member of the WIPO DAG, released its own national e-Government ICT interoperability framework during 2007. Like the interoperability frameworks previously discussed in this working paper, the South African framework broadly defines open standards as standards containing specifications that are documented, freely implementable and available to the public at large. The MIOS is applicable to all existing as well as legacy government systems used by South African national, provincial and local government departments and agencies, and covers all intra-government agency, government-to-citizen, government-to-employee and government-to-third party interactions consisting of the exchange of data and information access. The South African government also recommends that MIOS be implemented in all public sector procurements and major upgrades to...departmental legacy systems..., even for systems that fall outside the scope and mandate of MIOS. And, as in the case of some other of national governments frameworks, South Africa has drawn a strong correlation between ICT interoperability and open standards largely for economic/competitiveness and ostensibly public interest reasons. While acknowledging the different definitions of open standards which emphasize different aspects of directness, including of the resulting specification, the candidness of the drafting process, and the ownership of rights in the standard, the framework nevertheless sets forth a list of criteria the complete satisfaction of which is mandatory in order for a standard to be considered open. Among other things, for example, the intellectual property rights required to implement the standard (e.g., essential patent claims) [must be] irrevocably available without any royalties attached and there must be no reservations regarding reuse of the standard. Perhaps corporate innovators and investors may derive some comfort from the South African governments willingness, for reasons of pragmatism, to adopt other than fully open standards as so defined i.e., to take into account...the degree of openness...when selecting an appropriate standard that does not necessarily conform to being open in all respects, as in the case where a fully open royalty-free standard is unavailable or is unsupported by the market and an otherwise compatible FRAND, royalty-based specification.

NATURE OF COMPETITION Competition is sometimes good but it might also create a worry among a large number of people upto the extent that they dont even do their normal business activities. Competition actually means and initiates people to innovate, build relationships and to form partnerships with other companies. Even though the nature of the competition and the type of competition may vary according to the type of the industry chosen ,it will be under any of the three types that is the oligopoly, monopoly and the monopolistic.in general speaking about such industries such as the IT sector, there is no competitive advantage at all as as there are n number of players (large and small)in the market competing with each other and one more reason being that a few large players exist in the market who have already occupied a predominent position which cant be moved or broken down or weakened so easily by the competitors. The competition in the Information Technology industry is very intense and the pressure could and will very adversely influence the prices and also the demand for all the products being offered and the services rendered.The current information technology industry either domestically or globally is mainly characterized by the very dynamic technology, frequent product development and introduction into the market, upgradation of the industry standards and also the reduction in the price and the cost.

Changing competitive requirements and deliverables in developing and emerging markets. To compete successfully in this environment, we must rapidly and continually design, develop and market solutions and related products and services that are valued in the marketplace. To do this, we must react on a timely basis to shifts in market demands. In addition, our market position depends on our ability to reduce costs without creating operating inefficiencies and to sustain competitive operating margins, while also maintaining the quality of our products and services. Reacting quickly to reduce costs and maintain margins is particularly important during economic downturns. Our primary competitors for our EDW solutions are IBM and Oracle, who are well-capitalized companies with widespread distribution, brand recognition and penetration of platforms and service offerings. The significant purchasing and market power of these larger competitors, which have greater financial resources than we do, could allow them to surpass our market penetration and marketing efforts to promote and sell their products and services. Netezza is our primary competitor in the data warehouse appliance market, which we have recently entered. In addition, many other companies participate in specific areas of our business, such as enterprise application analytic and business intelligence software. The status of our business relationships with these companies can influence our ability to compete in data warehousing opportunities in such areas. We also expect additional competition from both established and emerging companies who have recently become active at the entry-levels of the data warehousing market and who may increase their level of competitive activities. Failure to compete successfully with new or existing competitors in these and other areas could have a material adverse impact on our ability to generate new revenues or sustain existing revenue levels.
