Education
In today’s rapidly evolving world, technology has completely changed the way we provide and consume education.

Educational institutions are constantly looking to enhance their operational efficiency and seek ways to offer technology services more cost effectively at every stage of the student lifecycle. Electronic document management, Cloud computing, instructional design and social networking are being used to enhance customer service, improve workflow systems, cut costs, engage learners and assess learning outcomes. Educators are either using the COTS products (SunGard Banner, Blackboard, CampusVue, etc.) or looking at building their own customized solutions to optimize the student, teacher, and staff interaction and help make it more seamless.
Hospitality
Technology plays an important role in the hospitality and tourism industry. Both customers and businesses can benefit from advances in communication, reservations and guest services systems. Technology allows continuous communication and streamlines the guest experience, from reservation to checkout. IT Plays a major role in Hospitality much like it does in the manufacturing setup or any other big ERP setup.
IT is used in all the internal departments. It is used in Rooms Division to accomplish all check in, checkout, and billing functions; in the engineering department for the building management system and internal guest complaint system; in the Food & Beverage department for restaurant sale accounting; in finance for the accounting functions; in materials for all the materials-related functions; and in HR for payroll.
