April 11, 2006, 4:27 pmUsage of IT has increased
April 11, 2006, 9:54 am
The usage of information technology in India has increased substantially, though many corporations have expressed concerns over security, a new survey by the National Association of Software and Service Companies said on Monday.
The survey found that while as much as 67 per cent of the organisations surveyed had more than 90 per cent of their PCs connected to a local area network, there are still organisations with less than 25 per cent of PCs connected to LAN.
It said that 57 per cent of the organisations had only 50 per cent of their PCs connected to the Internet, while 28 per cent have more than 90 per cent of their PCs connected to the World Wide Web.
"Security continues to be the prime concern among the user organisations in the country. While there is adoption of advanced security systems, a large percentage of organisations surveyed still rely on anti virus software and firewalls," it said.
"Thirty-five of the surveyed organisations have moved to a level where almost all processes are automated. With only five per cent of organisations at the opposite end, using It for a few standalone applications, the Indian IT industry is moving in the right direction," the survey said, adding that IT benefits are resulting in adoption of new technologies.
"Almost 85 per cent of organisations believe that they have been able to derive benefits out of the IT implementation; 50 per cent of these respondents claim to have documentary evidence to support the claim as well," it said.
Mr Kiran Karnik, president, Nasscom said, "Nasscom’s IT User survey indicates the trend among Indian IT vendors to increase their focus on the domestic market."

Japan for trade talks with Asean countries
April 11, 2006, 9:54 am
Japan has resumed talks to reach a free trade deal with the 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) after an eight-month stalemate.
Japan will also hold bilateral talks during the three-day meeting with Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar, Asean’s least developed States, in hopes of finding ways for Tokyo to help bridge the income gap in the regional bloc.
Asean and Japan opened negotiations in April 2005 which came to a halt after a second round in August. Japan is now looking only to secure a free-trade deal and not a more comprehensive accord that would include measures to settle trade disputes and protect intellectual property, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported.
But the foreign ministry said Japan still aimed to seal a comprehensive agreement with Asean. Japan has focused diplomatic efforts on Southeast Asia at a time that its relations with closer neighbours China and South Korea are strained, largely over wartime history.
Japan last week proposed the formation of a vast Asian economic free-trade zone including China, India, Asean and South Korea, a market that would cover half the population and rival the European Union and Nafta markets.
Japan has signed free trade pacts with Singapore and Mexico and reached similar broad agreements with Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines.
It is also negotiating with South Korea, Indonesia, Chile and plans to open talks this summer with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) of six Arab monarchies.
Japan is considering free-trade talks with Australia, India, Switzerland, Vietnam and South Africa.
