BACKGROUND
Information Technology (IT) in 21st century India has become all pervasive and is offering tremendous potential to all types of organizations, be it small, medium or large. Today, manufacturing and distribution organizations run their operations using ERP, banks run on core banking solutions, customer-focused businesses run CRM, most design work gets done on computers and the list is never ending. Diverse applications like telecommunications, satellite launching, retail chain or supply chain operations, data mixing and business intelligence cannot run or add value to the business without sound IT support. Governmental measures are also on the rise and effects of IT deployment have started surfacing. Service sector happens to be one of the biggest consumers of IT enabled services with banking, insurance, hospitality etc. being the forerunners in the race. In these times, business have gained an edge through the assimilation of communication technologies with information technology which has given rise to Information and Communication technologies (ICTs). ICT is central to today's most modern economies. ICTs are acting as integrating and enabling technologies for the economy. Broadband connectivity is a key component in ICT development, adoption and use. It accelerates the contribution of ICTs to economic growth, facilitates innovation, and promotes efficiency, network effects and positive externalities. ICT applications improve information and knowledge management inside the firm, can reduce transaction costs and increase the speed and reliability of transactions for both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions. In addition, they are effective tools for improving external communications and quality of services for established and new customers. The conference is aimed at providing a platform to academia, IT consultants, research scholars, senior managers, practitioners, software developers and students to share their knowledge and experience on Information and Communication Technologies: Enhancing Business Competencies through Innovative Practices.
