India is a big part of the future of the IT industry. I think we all realize that.
I was looking for 2009 trends lists that were specific to India and came upon the CIOL website. CIOL is short for Cybermedia India Online LImited. The CIO website http://www.ciol.com focuses on the Information Technology industry within India. It appears that CIOL has become a popular Internet destination for IT professionals, vendors, solution providers, CIOs and CEOs of Indian enterprises.
The website had a Special Report that provided 2009 outlooks on a number of IT segments. In many cases, CIOL invited executives from Indian IT vendors to provide their own views of what the important trends will be in the India IT industry during 2009.
Below you'll find that I've summarized the relevant trends posts on CIOL by by major IT trend category.
