Information Technology in Jaipur

Information Technology has swept the world across with its velocity and pride. Earlier computer systems were considered as a status symbol in the organizations. Today, where there are plenty of workstations available, a proper functional integration within the departments plays a huge role in the success of any organization.

Basic infrastructure has to be in place for small, medium and large business houses. A system that is able to adapt to changing needs of an organization and is able to store and stay updated is considered ideal for a highly dynamic environment. Jaipur city, the capital of Rajasthan has small and medium businesses that are mushrooming in their IT infrastructure. Though the city has huge potential to be explored, the IT industry yet has not seen its shinning glory.

Jaipur Rugs Company, one of the leading manufacturers of hand-made high quality rugs, at present has over 7000 weaving looms on which approx 35000 weavers’ work across all the centers. The branches share a close network with the head quarters through integrated computer systems. These computer systems facilitate designing, maintaining inventories, updating and tracking shipments and storing other information. All units and departments are effectively linked through Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), a system that integrates functions such as finance, manufacturing, distribution, customer relationship management, and e-commerce data to meet the growing needs of the company.

Mr. Yogesh Chaudhary, Director Jaipur Rugs in an interview with Express Computer Online said, “We spent over Rs 2 cr in 2007 on basic IT infrastructure. Now we are planning to invest in bar coding and a virtual private network from Reliance to connect all of our branch offices.”

Apart from setting up a basic infrastructure, companies are focusing on adopting more advanced technologies like WAN, VPN, network-storage and other enterprise applications. Whatever the new trend, the organization should be sure of its basic necessities and a list of what has to go where should be made. In order to synchronize the process, and making it work efficiently for timely deliveries and satisfaction, one has to consider all future implications along with the budget to sail strong.
