8/10/2019 a Study on Importance of Recruitment and Selection Process at Manasi Systems Tchnologies
26/98
26
method and Third method.
DIRECT METHOD:-
One of the widely used direct methods is that of sending of recruiters to colleges and technical
schools. Most college recruiting is done in co-operation with the placement office of a college.
The placement office usually provides help in attraction students, arranging interviews,
furnishing space, and providing student resumes. For managerial professional, and sales
professional, campus recruiting is an extensive operation. Persons reading for MBA or other
technical diplomas are picked up in this manner. Many companies have found employees contact
with the public a very effective method. Other direct methods include sending recruiters to
conventions and seminars, setting up exhibits at fairs, and using mobile offices to go to the
desired centers.
INDIRECT METHOD:-
Indirect method usually involves advertising in news papers, on the radio, in trade and
professional journals, technical magazines and broachers. Advertising in newspapers and
magazines, is the most frequently used methods, when qualified or experienced personnel are not
available from other sources. Senior posts are largely filled by such methods when they cannot
be filled by promotion from within.Advertising is very useful for recruiting blue-collars and hourly workers as
well as scientific, professional, and technical employees. Local newspapers can be a good source
of blue-collar workers, clerical employees, and lower level administrative employees.
THIRD PARTY METHOD:-
These include the use of commercial of private employment agencies, placement offices of
schools colleges and professional associations, recruiting firms, management consulting firms,
indoctrination seminars for college for college professors and friends and relatives.
PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES:-
They are the brokers who bring employers and employees together. The specialization of these
agencies enhances their capacities to interpret the needs of their client, to seek out particular
8/10/2019 a Study on Importance of Recruitment and Selection Process at Manasi Systems Tchnologies
27/98

types of persons, and to develop proficiency in recognizing the talent of specialized personnel.
STATE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES:-
Also known as labor exchanges, they are the main agencies of public employment. They providea clearing housing for jobs and job information. These agencies provide a wide range of services-
counseling, assistance in getting jobs information about labor market, labor and wage rates.
PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION OR RECRUITMENT FIRMS:-
They maintain complete information records about employed executives. These firms are looked
up on as headhunters, raiders and pirates by organizations which loose personnel through
their efforts. However, these same organizations may employ executive search firms to help
them find executive talent. These consulting firms recommend persons of high caliber for
managerial, marketing and production engineers posts.
TRADE UNIONS:-
Also provide manual and skilled workers in sufficient numbers.
MODERN SOURCES AND TECHNIQUES OF RECURITMENT
A number of modern recruitment sources and techniques are being used by the
corporate in addition to traditional sources and techniques. These sources and techniques include
walk-in and consultin, head-hunting, body-shopping, business alliances, and tele-recruitment.

2.1.6 Recruitment Strategies:
Findings Overview
Organizations were asked what strategies they use to recruit both managerial/professional and
non management candidates. For recruiting managerial/professional candidates, the Internet is
the most popular advertising medium, used by 76 percent of the organizations surveyed.
Organizations regularly utilize internal resources(e.g., internal job postings and employee
referrals) when recruiting both internal and external candidates. Different kinds of agencies are
used to recruit for positions at different levels. Temporary and government agencies are used
mainly to recruit non-management candidates. Employment agencies, colleges, and
professional organizations are used more often to recruit managerial/professional
candidates.
Organizational OfferingsThe quality of an organizations offerings affects its ability to attract job candidates.
Organizations believe they offer candidates a strong company reputation (69 percent) and
high-quality benefits packages (65 percent) and learning opportunities (55 percent).
Many organizations do not offer stock options (37 percent) or child care options (36 percent).
Best Practices
Organizations with the most effective recruiting strategies were 15 to 19 percent more likely to
offer candidates high-quality options such as:

Organizations offering candidates and employees a positive culture (e.g., innovative,
diverse, potential to advance) and learning environment have more satisfied employees and more
successful at retaining them.

barriers to effective recruitment of candidates are:
Shortage of qualified applicants
(62 percent).
Competition for the same applicants
(62 percent).

selection process.
SIGNIFICANCE OF SELECTION PROCESS:
Definition:It is the process of differentiation between applicants in order to identify (and hire)
those with a greater likelihood of success in a job. Selection of personnel to man the organizationis a crucial, complex and continuing function. The ability of an organization to attain its goals
effectively and to develop in a dynamic environment largely depends upon the effectiveness of
its selection program. If right personnel is selected the remaining functions of personnel
management becomes easier, the employee contribution and commitment will be at an optimum
level and employee- employer relations will be congenial. In an opposite situation where the
right person is not selected, the remaining functions of personnel management, employee-
employer relations will not be effective. If the right person is selected, he becomes a valuable
asset to the organization. In case of faulty selection, the employee will become a liability to the
organization.
who are to be offered employment and those who are not. The process might be called rejection,
since more candidates may be turned away than hired. For this reason, selection is frequently
described as a negative process, in contrast with the positive program of recruitment.
According to Yoder:-the hiring process is of one or many go, no-go gauges. Candidates are
screened by the

SCREENING:
8/10/2019 a Study on Importance of Recruitment and Selection Process at Manasi Systems Tchnologies

Retention Survey found that nationally small agencies took an average of 6.84 weeks to
conduct the screening processes, while large agencies took an average of 11.51 weeks
(U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Hiring and Keeping Police
Officers)
GOAL: reduce this time so that valuable candidates are still available
PRINCIPLES OF THE SCREENING:
A fair set of screening criteria
The criteria must be in line with the job content and appointment as well as advertised
requirements
Applicants should be clear on the criteria that apply
The criteria should apply to all applicants in a consistent manner Any waivers should be fully motivated and approved
Declarations should be made of whether any candidate is related to or friends of an
official in the component where the vacancy exists
The various activities of the screening process should be documented and put on record

2.2.1 STEPS INVOLVED IN SELECTION PROCESS:
8/10/2019 a Study on Importance of Recruitment and Selection Process at Manasi Systems Tchnologies
35/98
35
A scientific selection procedure completes in 10 basic steps which are as follows:
1. Application Form.
2. Written Examination.
3. Preliminary Interview.
4. Group Discussion.
5. Tests.
6. Final Interview.
7. Medical Examination.
8. Reference Checks.
9. Line Managers Decision, and
10.Employment
TESTING IN SELECTION:
Testing represents an additional tool in the kit of the employment office. It supplements direct
personal contracts in interviews of various types with a wide range of tests. All operate on the
general theory that human behavior can best be forecast by sampling it. The test creates a
situation in which the applicant reacts; reactions are regarded as useful samples of his behavior
in the work he is applying.
Formal testing programs have becomes increasingly common in modern selection. A major
reason is their convenience. Another is their relatively low cost. Perhaps unfortunately, test
results appeal to many managers because they provide quantitative measures of something. They
ate, for this reason, more easily compared. They seem to bring the personalities of applicants
down to a common denominator. Another reason for the growing use of tests is the fact that they
have been and are the subject of extensive research.

TYPES OF EMPLOYMENT TESTS:
A simple classification of the tests used in selection would distinguish five principal types,
including achievement, aptitude, interest, personality, and combination tests.
Achievement Tests: sample and measure the applicants accomplishments and developed
abilities. They are performance tests; they ask the applicants accomplishments and developed
abilities. They are performances tests; they ask the applicant to demonstrate certain knowledge
skills.
APTITUDE TESTS:
Measures an applicants capacity, his potential. Their simples form is the intelligence test, which
is intended to measure the ability to learn, to remember, and to reason.
INTEREST TESTS:
Use selected questions or items to identify patterns of interests-areas in which the individual
shoes special concern, fascination and involvement.
PERSONALITY TESTS:
Probe for the dominant qualities of the personality as a whole the combination of aptitudes,
interests, and usual mood and temperament. Whole the combination of aptitudes, interests, and
usual mood and temperament.
GUIDES TO TESTING:
Dale s. Beach suggested the following guidelines for the employment test.
1. Tests should be taken in addition to other selection techniques as entire can only provide
information about a part of total behavior of a candidate.
2. Test information should be taken into consideration to find out candidates weakness rather
than strength.
3. Tests are helpful in pocking a most likely successful group from a larger group rather than
successful individuals.
4. A test should be tested in ones own organization as a valid test in one that measures.
8/10/2019 a Study on Importance of Recruitment and Selection Process at Manasi Systems Tchnologies
37/98
37
5. Tests can be held only in case of failure of other selection devices in providing satisfactory.
6. Test administrators should not heavily depend upon test score in making decision regarding
selection of a candidate.
Relationship between tests score and job success is not always linear. Hence, decision-makers
should use the test score judiciously.
OUTCOMES OF SELECTION DECISION:
Mainly four different types
True positive
True negative
False positive error:
Results in cost for training, transfer or terminating the service of employee.Costs of replacing an employee with a fresh one-hiring, training, and replacement.
False negative error:
Costs associated difficult to estimate

Application blank is used to get information from prospective applicant to help
management to make a proper selection.
It quickly collects the basic data about a candidate.
It is also useful to store information for future use.
An application forms consists of
o Biographical data
o Educational achievements
o Salary and work experience
o Personal items
o Names and addresses of previous employers, references, etc.
CHECK OF REFERENCES:
References are used in most selection processes.
During the selection process it is believed that former employers, friends and professional
personnel give reliable evaluation of applicant.
Reference checks are generally made by mail or telephone and sometimes personally
also.
PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS:
Most organizations do not use psychological tests for selection.
But larger the size of the firm, more are the chances of using psychological tests. Larger companies that can afford to conduct psychological tests do so to have a more
detailed and accurate selection procedure.
Smaller companies are more dependent on interviews.

INTERVIEW PROCESS:
Interview is not a single step. It is a process consisting of several steps. The major steps are
grouped into four categories.
Before starting the interview, the important areas for asking questions should be worked
out.
The candidates application form should be examined to find his/her skills, incidents and
experiences which are related to important areas for asking questions.
The interviewer should make the candidate relaxed by starting with questions that are not
directly related with the job.
After the candidate is relaxed, the interviewer should ask the questions related to the job.
Now the interviewer should make a tentative decision about the candidate.
Approval by the Supervisor:
At this stage, we can reach the conclusion about which candidate should be hired.
Physical Examination:
Physical examination is done to check whether the applicants physical capabilities match
with the job requirements or not.
The three basic objectives of physical examination are:
o
To determine the applicants physical capabilities.o To protect the company from needless claims under workers compensation laws.
o To stop communicable diseases from entering the organization.

3.1INDUSTRY PROFILE
PROFILE OF THE INDUSTRY
The 15 year old software company is one of the cardinals and basic infrastructure which
enjoys core sector status and play a crucial role in the economic development and growth of a
country. Being a core sector this industry was subject to price and distribution controls almostuninterruptedly from past 15 years.
OVERVIEW OF THE INDUSTRY
Manasi Information Technologies is a leading global provider of technology that strengthens
client innovation. We currently offer services to our clients throughout the world. Our nature of

Software Industry consists of that part of computer programming activity that is traded between
software-producing organizations and corporate or individual software consumers. Traded
software represents only a fraction of domestic software activity, whose extent cannot be reliably
estimated, since much computer programming takes place within firms and its value Sis not
captured by the industrial census or software industry analysts. According to the industry analystINPUT, in 2010 the U.S. market for traded software was $138 billion (Table 1). The U.S.
software industry is a major exporter, and the total revenues of the top 500 U.S. software firms in
the year 2010 were $259 billion, according to the trade publication Software Magazine. The
traded software industry consists of three main sectors: programming services, enterprise
software products, and shrink-wrapped software products. These three sectors became
established in the mid-1950s, the mid-1960s, and the late 1970s, respectively, in response to the
technological opportunities and the business environment of the time. The most successful firms
developed specialized capabilities that enabled them to prosper within their sector; however, this
specialization made it difficult to move into other sectors, and very few firms have been
successful in more than one software sector. It should be noted that the software industry is not
confined to independent software vendors, but also includes computer manufacturers such as
IBM, Unisys, and NCR who supply programming services and software products alongside their
hardware offerings and are among the largest software suppliers. These are sometimes referred to
as "captive" markets because computer users have relatively little choice in the supplier of basic
operating software for corporate systems.

The United States has been the world leader in the software industry throughout its history, and
today accounts for half of global revenues overall, and an estimated three-quarters of thesoftware products market. A notable feature of the industry is its low concentration: there are
many thousands of software firms in the United States and throughout the world, but relatively
few mostly American global players.

SECTORS OF THE SOFTWARE INDUSTRY
1.PROGRAMMING SERVICES:
SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING SERVICES: Dynamic Ventures provides software
programming services. It creates user friendly solutions to very complex problems. Company
includes the work in their core product offerings.
The teams are responsible for the development of major commercial software products and
web applications. They deliver more reliable applications in shorter time frames using the
iterative "evolving milestone" process. It enables one to achieve best case results even when
they do not have specifications or their specifications start out vague and change often.
CURRENT CONDITIONS:According to Software Magazine in January 2011, "The trend of
engaging outside service firms to perform critical IT functions continues." This statement was
borne out by the specialties reported by firms in the journal's list of top 500 computer software
and services companies of 2010. The largest primary business sector--for the third year in a
row--was system integration services and IT consulting. Outsourcing services was the second
largest, followed by IT services/consulting/staffing and outsourced productdevelopment/testing. Of companies with more than $1 billion in revenues, Salesforce.com
increased its sales by 44 percent. According to Software Magazine, "The Company "insists on
continuing its 'no software' marketing positioning even though [it] sells access to its software
through the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model." Hewlett-Packard also showed strong growth,
increasing its revenues by more than 50 percent, due mostly to its acquisition of former rival
Electronic Data Systems Corp. in 2008. Those providing computer programming and related
services were required to keep up with constantly changing technology. For example,
according to a report by IBIS World, in the 2010s, "Newer platforms and technologies, such as
software as a service, open source software, and cloud computing, will penetrate the industry
and change the landscape." In the meantime, services in wireless and mobile applications werestrong growth areas as the nation entered the second decade of the twenty-first century.
According to research firm Gartner, the mobile applications industry was predicted to almost
triple in 2011 to $15.1 billion.
INDUSTRY LEADERS: Custom programming services are furnished by a diverse group of
companies, including several multinational firms that provide a comprehensive set of IT
services to large businesses and government agencies. One of the largest was IBM Corp. By
2010 IBM's services unit accounted for more half of its revenues, which in 2010 were just
under $100 billion. Hewlett-Packard was another leader. The firm doubled its size when it
purchased Electronic Data Systems Corp. in 2008, and revenues in 2010 reached $125 billion.
Oracle and Computer Sciences Corp. were other significant players, registering 2010 sales of
$26.8 billion and $16.1 billion, respectively, as was Accenture, whose annual revenues
surpassed $23 billion. Smaller companies that provided programming services included
Analysts International Corp., CIBER (Consultants in Business, Engineering, and Research)
Inc., and Keane International Inc., which was acquired by NTT Data in 2011.
2.ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS: Enterprise software describes a collection of
computer programs with common business applications, tools for modeling how the entire
8/10/2019 a Study on Importance of Recruitment and Selection Process at Manasi Systems Tchnologies
52/98
52
organization works, and development tools for building applications unique to the
organization. The software is intended to solve an enterprise-wide problem, rather than a
departmental problem. Enterprise level software aims to improve the enterprise's productivity
and efficiency by providing business logic support functionality. According to Martin Fowler,
"Enterprise applications are about the display, manipulation, and storage of large amounts of
often complex data and the support or automation of business processes with thatdata."Although there is no single, widely accepted list of enterprise software characteristics,
they generally include performance, scalability, and robustness. Furthermore, enterprise
software typically has interfaces to other enterprise software (for example LDAP to directory
services) and is centrally managed (a single admin page, for example).
ENTERPRISE APPLICATION SOFTWARE:
Enterprise application software is application software that performs business functions such as
order processing, procurement, production scheduling, customer information management,
energy management, and accounting. It is typically hosted on servers and provides simultaneousservices to a large number of users, typically over a computer network. This is in contrast to a
single-user application that is executed on a user's personal computer and serves only one user at
a time.
a. TYPES:
Enterprise software can be designed and implemented by an information technology (IT)
group within a company.
It may also be purchased from an independent enterprise software developer that often
installs and maintains the software for their customers. Installation, customization, and
maintenance can also be outsourced to an IT consulting company.
Another model is based on a concept called on-demand software, or Software as a
Service (SaaS). The on-demand model of enterprise software is made possible through
the widespread distribution of broadband access to the Internet. Software as Service
vendors maintains enterprise software on servers within their own company data center
and then provides access to the software to their enterprise customers via the Internet.
Enterprise software is often categorized by the business function that it automates - such
as accounting software or sales force automation software. Similarly for industries - for
example, there are enterprise systems devised for the health care industry, or formanufacturing enterprises.
b. DEVELOPERS:Major organizations in the enterprise software field include SAP, IFS AB, QAD Inc,
IBM, BMC Software, HP Software Division, Redwood Software, UC4 Software, JBoss (Red Hat),
Microsoft, Adobe Systems, Oracle Corporation, Inquest Technologies, ScheduALL, CA
Technologies, Wipro Technologies, [Johnson Controls], and ASG Software Solutions but there are
thousands of competing vendors.

INDIAN IT INDUSTRY:INDIAN IT INDUSTRY PRESENT STATUS:
Information technology (IT) is defined as the design, development, implementation and
management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and
computer hardware. Today, it has grown to cover most aspects of computing and technology.India is a preferred destination for companies looking to offshore their IT and back-office
functions. It also retains its low-cost advantage and is a financially attractive location when
viewed in combination with the business environment it offers and the availability of skilled
people. The countrys domestic market for business process outsourcing (BPO) is projected to
grow over 23 per cent to touch US$ 1.4 billion in 2011, says global research group Gartner. In
2010, the domestic BPO market was worth US$ 1.1 billion. The firm predicts that the domestic
BPO market would reach US$ 1.69 billion in 2012 and increase to US$ 2.47 billion by 2014.
With the first quarter of the new fiscal 2011-12 offering positive business outlook, hiring
sentiments for sectors like IT, ITeS and telecom have risen by over 20 per cent, says a study by
Team Lease Services Pvt. Ltd. As per the Employment Outlook Report for the period April-June
2011, released by Team Lease Services Pvt. Ltd., hiring intent from IT and ITeS was the highest
in cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Pune. India's top technology firms like TCS,
Infosys, Wipro and HCL are readying plans to gain a bigger share of their largest market, US, by
aggressively chasing contracts being served by multinational rivals. Analysts expect the top IT
firms to grow between 23-27 per cent in the FY2012 on the back of more number of
discretionary projects, improved pricing, and robust business volumes.
PERFORMANCE:
In India, it is important to make the distinction between IT and ITES (IT enabled services). The
latter refers to services delivered over telecom networks/ Internet to a range of external business
areas (Colloquially referred to as KPO and BPO) and is treated elsewhere on this website (see
ITES industry overview). Hence, we shall focus on the IT industry here by limiting the
discussion to electronics hardware manufacturing and software development and service. Despite
the unprecedented global economic downturn, the Indian IT industry has weathered the storm
well, and will achieve sustainable growth going forward. India is expected to witness an average
8% salary increase in 2010 and ~50% of companies have strong hiring plans, according to a
survey by global HR consultancy Mercer, giving yet another indication of the high confidence
levels among the countrys corporate houses after the economy staged a faster-than-expectedrecovery from the slowdown. While the larger players continue to lead growth, gradually
increasing their share in the industry aggregate, several high-performing small and medium
enterprises have also stood out.

GROWTH POTENTIAL:
The strong demand for electronic hardware and software in India has been fuelled by a variety of
drivers including the high growth rate of the economy, emergence of a vast domestic market
catering to the new generation of young consumers, a thriving middleclass populace with
increasing disposable incomes and a relatively low-cost work force having advanced technical
skills. Indeed, the Government has also identified growth of this sector as a thrust area as there
remains great expectation for significant growth given the fairly low levels of penetration of
technology among the 1.1 billion population; There were only 60 million Internet users in 2009,
7 million DVD players and personal computers were sold in 2008-09, and 11 million new mobile
subscribers were added every month in the same period. In this scenario there is now a big
opportunity to step up the production to gain higher global share besides meeting the domestic
demands. The Indian IT sector has also built a strong reputation for its high standards of software
development ability, service quality and information security in the foreign market- which has
been acknowledged globally and has helped enhance buyer confidence. The industry continues
its drive to set global benchmarks in quality and information security through a combination ofprovider and industry-level initiatives and strengthening the overall frameworks, creating greater
awareness and facilitating wider adoption of standards and best practices.
FUTURE PROSPECTS:
The industry is likely to continue growing from strength to strength, as local players incorporate
best in class practices from global counterparts whilst retaining their edge in terms of lower cost
of labor and focused governmental investments.
New graduates with degrees in related fields such as electrical engineering and computer science
can hope to achieve significant professional growth and a healthy remuneration from companieslooking to hire the best talent available, given the high proportion who leave to pursue jobs in
this sector overseas..
Indian Software Industry:
In 2008-09, the software industry in India was worth Rs. 158.9 billion (US$ 3.9 billion). If the
value of in-house development, which is taking place at many large corporate, is added then the
figure would touch around Rs. 190 billion (US$ 4.6 billion). This phenomenal growth has not
been achieved overnight. The C.A.G.R (Compounded Annual Growth Rate) for the Indian
software industry revenues in the last five years has been 56.3 percent. Here the C.A.G.R. for the
software export industry has been 60.71 percent while that for the domestic market has been46.05 percent.
8/10/2019 a Study on Importance of Recruitment and Selection Process at Manasi Systems Tchnologies
57/98
57
Domestic Software Market:
In 2008-09, the domestic software market has been estimated at Rs. 49.5 billion (US$ 1.25
billion) and this does not include the in-house development of software by end users. The
domestic software market has shown a C.A.G.R. of 46.05 percent which has been steadily
improving in the last few year. The growth rate of the domestic software market was 41.02
percent 2008-09. The domestic software market is expected to gross Rs. 73 billion in 2011-2021.With the rigorous enforcement of Copyright laws, increase in government spending on I.T. it is
expected that in the coming years, the domestic market for software can even register more than
50 percent annual growth rates. Also, the government has implemented zero import duty on
software. This is already having buoyant effect on the market and there is a increasing trend of
buying software through the Internet. It is expected that by 2018 revenues of Indian domestic
software market would touch US $ 37 billion. In the next few years, the prominent growth in the
domestic software market is expected to get boost by segments such as banking, E-governance,
defense, etc.
Software Export Industry:
The Indian software export industry continues to show impressive growth rates.
In terms of Indian rupees, the C.A.G.R. over the past five years has been as high as 60.71
percent. The industry exported software and services worth Rs. 0.30 billion (U.S.$ 0.03 billion)
in 1985; in 2008-09, a total export of Rs. 109 billion (U.S.$ 2.65 billion) was achieved and it is
expected that during 1999-2000, software exports will be worth Rs. 172 billion (U.S.$ 3.9
billion). The software industry in India expects to reach an export level of U.S.$ 6.3 billion by
2000-01 and U.S.$ 10 billion by 2013-14. The National IT Task Force of India has set a target of
U.S $ 50 billion of annual I.T. software and services exports by 2018. For achieving this
velocity of business, both the software industry and the Government of India are currently taking
some bold and purposeful steps. Amongst others, this exercise includes path-breaking measures
adopted by the National IT Task Force to further liberate the economy, simplification of
procedures, and development of additional resources for technical manpower development, new
marketing channels, enhancing global brand equity and providing state-of-the-art infrastructure
for software development. The thrust on I.T. services like E-commerce, Software Development,
Interactive Integration services, Application Service Providers (ASPs).
Location of Software Companies:
The mushrooming of new software companies until a couple of years ago was
limited to a few cities. The industry was mainly concentrated around Bangalore, Mumbai,Chennai, Delhi, Pune, Hyderabad and Calcutta. However, with the InfoTech revolution sweeping
India, we have witnessed a very high growth of InfoTech companies in other cities and towns as
well. Most of the state governments have today accorded the highest priority to the development
of the InfoTech sector in their states.

SWOT ANALYSIS:
1. STRENGTHS
High Quality & Price Performance: Quality is the hallmark of Indian I.T. software and, services.
ISO 9000 certification and SEI Level 5 are the order of the day. High quality knowledge workersand attractive price performance have been and will continue to be a key component of India's
value proposition.
Large Pool of Knowledge Workers: The basic raw material for any software development
activity or a dotcom start up is the availability of quality knowledge workers. India's main
competitive advantage is its abundant, high-quality and cost effective human resources.
Currently, India trains more than 73,000 professionals a year and has around 80,000 people
working in the software and services sector. This is the second largest I.T. work force in the
world. Recently, the Government of India has committed to providing computer education in
every school by year 2003.
State-of-the-art Technologies: A majority of Indian software companies use state-of-the-art
technologies, including the latest in client-networking, E-commerce, Internet, ASP, CASE tools,
communication software, ATM, protocols, GUI etc.
Flexibility and Adaptability: Indian software professionals easily adapt themselves to new
technologies. In the software industry, where technological obsolescence is the order of the day,
flexibility to adapt to new technologies a major strength
Reliability: Software programmers from India are able to provide expertise for all or large
projects with dollar savings. The motto is ultimate adherence delivery schedules and customer
satisfaction
Off-shore Development through Datacom links: Off-shore software development in India
especially through high-speed datacom (satellite links), provides immense cost and time saving.
Large Projects: Indian companies increasingly large numbers are demonstrating their ability to
handle large projects (more than 500-700 man- ears), including turnkey projects.
High Growth: Software exports as well as the domestic demand in the last few years have been
consistently growing at annual growth rate of about 50 percent.

2.WEAKNESSES
Lack of Package Orientation: Although, a few companies have started making shrink-wrapped
software packages, the industry as a whole is still not oriented towards development of world
class 'shrink-wrapped' software packages. Thus, the industry is not able to take advantage of a
multiplier effect for growth in revenues.
Lack of Domestic Computerization: Lack of adequate computerization has led to a relatively
weak domestic software market. Even, the PC penetration rate is very low.
Lack of Internet Penetration: With low penetration of PCs, it is obvious that Internet penetration
is also poor. At the end of the year 1999, India could only boast of 6,10,000 Internet connections
with about 2.1 million users. The recently announced Internet Service Provider policy is
expected to improve the situation.
Original Technology: The Indian software industry possesses the expertise to absorb and use thelatest technology. However, barring a few exceptions, it has still not produced enough original
technology breakthroughs. Succinctly put, the industry has not created original operating systems
or new computer languages and technologies, which could be used globally
.
Project Management Skills: As the Indian software industry has been growing at a fast rate,
most of the project managers are becoming entrepreneurs, thus creating a gap in demand and
supply of project management skills.
Venture Capital: In building a robust venture creation process, India still faces few constraints.
To build a prolific venture community, India needs to focus on boosting all stages of venture
creation process and have simplified procedures so that the domestic Venture Capital movement
can flourish and overseas Venture Capital funds can be attracted.
Localization: With the exception of isolated cases, not much exists in providing software
applications in innumerable local languages. Thus, computer penetration in India is restricted to
merely the English speaking population.

3.OPPORTUNITIES
Global Market: The market is large and rapidly changing-from a mix of legacy client server to
web / package-based services. Market openings are emerging across I.T. services, software
products, I.T. enabled services and E-businesses, and creating a number of new opportunities for
Indian companies.
Domestic Demand: The corporate, government and consumer sector of the Indian domestic
market offers a U.S.$ 18 billion opportunity by 2008 to software and services companies.
Outsourcing: The global outsourcing business was worth U.S.$ 77 billion in 1997 and has been
growing at the rate of 15-18 percent per annum. A recent survey indicates that by 2002, more
than 59 percent of the Fortune 1000 companies and other multinationals will outsource some part
of their application development and maintenance activities. India can gain and corner a greater
marketplace.

Quality assurance is a critical concern for companies that either produce commercial software or
develop internal applications. Billions of dollars are wasted every year due to applications that

need to implement quality assurance programs.
