Information Technology Management

S P Jain's IT Management specialization program is crafted to create managerial cadres that can dovetail a wide range of manufacturing and service companies that utilize information technology extensively.

The course covers management of IT projects and enterprise solutions. IT professionals with years of industry experience train the students in IT strategies, CRM, IT services management, ERP solutions and a host of other cutting edge courses. Managing Information Technology in an environment where technological changes happen almost overnight can be a daunting task. Further, IT itself has numerous dimensions.

Companies specialize in hardware, software, networking, and outsourcing, to broadly define a few areas. Perhaps, the most difficult part for an IT manager is convergence, which further complicates the task of the IT professional. The IT manager perennially needs to keep abreast of several technologies simultaneously.

IT managers are required by companies engaged in production or sale of IT products and services and also by user companies that have fairly large IT departments.

The growth in IT has no parallel. Virtually every nation has participated in its growth and has reaped benefits in numerous ways. Truly, Information Technology has revolutionized our lives.

In Dubai, growth in Information Technology has been nothing short of spectacular. The Dubai Internet City (DIC) is a free zone promoted by the Government of Dubai at a cost of over $1.5 billion. Big names like Microsoft, Intel, IBM, CISCO, HP, Siemens, and Oracle feature among the multitude of companies that operate from DIC. It is estimated that over 22,000 employees work out of this complex. In 2003, DIC's revenues grew by a stupendous 65%. Continuing on the success of DIC, two new free zones, the Dubai Outsourcing Zone and the Dubai Silicon Oasis are being created to further enhance the presence of the IT industry.

Singapore is ideally positioned to be the central hub of all IT related activity in the Asia-Pacific region. Some of the brightest IT experts can be found in Singapore's invigorating work atmosphere.

At the S P Jain campus, the Information Technology Center is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, creating an ideal environment for this program.
