ITAO to increase its member base

Signaling its plans to expand across Orissa and bring in local associations
within its fold, IT Association of Orissa (ITAO) is finally on its way to
increase its 'active' members within its fold.

The IT association presently has 75 'active' members and is pinning its hopes
on taking the number to atleast 250 by the end of March next year. In this
process, a dedicated committee has been formed with ITAO, vesting the
responsibility to GB Gupta of Tristar Software along with four other members.

The association has claimed that it is continuously receiving applications
for membership from the channel community and is deliberating over membership
norms and guidelines in the process.
