Posted on Apr 08, 2008 03:12 AM -0400
The Pakistan Software Houses Association of IT & ITES commissioned a study six months ago to document growth trends in the technology community in Pakistan. After extensive research through online surveys and one-to-one discussions with CEOs and industry leaders, the study answers fairly important questions on employee base, growth, industry size, markets, distribution and policy issues.
The study comprises data from within an 80 company data set of 120 participants surveyed from within P@SHA’s member base of 350. It also includes data collected through conversations with multinational IT companies in Pakistan as well as government representatives.
Covering a 3-year period from 2005 -2007, the study focuses on documenting growth, local revenues, gobal revenues, employment, challenges over the last few years and how they were overcome. It also looks to the future challenges that the industry faces and the opportunities that awaits this fast-growing sector.
P@SHA plans to distribute the final study results very widely using both electronic and print media both locally as well as in the region. Given the content, the collection effort and the reasonable participation rate, the study is anticipated to become a core reference document.
