Olive e-Business, a leading Web solutions and software development company, will once again take part in GITEX (Gulf Information Technology Exhibition), the third largest ICT exhibition in the world. The showpiece event will be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre Complex between 25th & 29th September. Olive had participated in GITEX 2004 as well, which welcomed over 939 exhibitors representing more than 2,428 companies from 41 countries and attracted 116,346 trade visitors from across the globe. Now in its 25th year, the IT mega show has attracted even more Indian companies to its fold for business synergies and value addition.

As a leading Indian outsourcing firm and a Microsoft Certified Partner with a competency in Integrated E-Business Solutions, Olive aligns organisational strategies with cutting-edge technology to enhance the business value and operational efficiency of global corporate houses. The company will be showcasing a full suite of e-business solutions and business process automation applications at the forthcoming event, with the focus on its consulting, development, implementation, systems integration and support services. Our experienced marketing and IT professionals will also highlight the technology firm's ability to design and develop a wide range of industry-specific solutions. Olive and its Middle East partners have opted for an 18 sq mt dedicated stall (Stand E9-22, Sheikh Rashid Hall) for exhibiting their products and services at the IT trade show.

Bidding to drive global growth
Over the years, the Dubai IT trade fair has evolved into a perfect business and technological platform for escalating international and regional (the GCC and the MENA markets) trade. As the high-efficiency and cost-effective global delivery model gains recognition, blue chip companies around the globe are increasingly testing the offshoring component directly with Indian firms. Because of its magnitude and advantages, GITEX 2005 offers the most appropriate opportunity for showcasing Olive's products and services before techno-savvy decision-makers. This, in turn, will enable the IT firm to explore joint ventures and strategic alliances with West Asian/other international companies and enhance our global ventures in terms of growth and revenue generation. The National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM) also agrees with the fact that West Asia "is a growing market and has immense opportunities to be explored."

The IT market is predicted to grow to $65 billion by 2009, featuring a compounded annual growth rate of 21%. As per recent data released by the International Data Corp (IDC), the Indian IT market crossed the $25 billion mark in 2004, including a contribution of $16.7 billion from exports. Keeping the current industry boom in mind, Olive and its partners have gone all out for an expansion drive and a premier "trade only" exhibition like GITEX 2005 provides the ideal platform to increase our outreach worldwide. Furthermore, Olive has a network of offices including a state-of-the-art development centre in New Delhi, India, and marketing-cum-customer service centres in Cardiff, UK, and Vancouver, Canada, which enables us to ensure superior services and complete customer satisfaction.

Focus on superior value addition
While participating in GITEX 2005, Olive will strive to showcase how the company blends valuable business acumen with proven technical expertise and superior services to deliver best-of-the-breed products and solutions across industry verticals. What's more, our tie-ups with global leaders such as Microsoft, RackSpace, Comodo and CCAvenue further consolidate our position as a technology partner of choice. Recalling last year's stupendous success at GITEX in terms of international partnerships and quality lead generation, Team Olive is looking forward to a great event ahead. "We will continue to reach out to new markets and provide superior benefits to all our clients," affirmed Olive directors, Mr. Dipin Kapur and Mr. Neeraj Jalan.
