purchase of IT products and services are made are distributor/reseller(s)
or directly from the companies, in must of the verticals. In fact, BPO and
IT Services/Software verticals make most of their purchase directly from
principle IT companies such as Microsoft, HP, IBM, Tally, Zenith etc.
Online purchases are insignificant, expect in IT Services/Software
vertical. |
Services From The Vendor
|

| The two major services
provided by vendors are technology information sharing and training in IT.
However, in verticals such as education, IT Services/Software and BPO,
training in IT by the vendor is more prevalent compared to information
sharing. At an overall level, only one in nine organizations says that
financing is provided by vendors, the instances being highest in case of
the Services vertical. |
