I cannot comment about SATURATION but complication is definitely the problem. Every time product co. lunch new software or platform saying this will make things more simple & easy to work on. But most of the time we end-up with same (new problems & complications). Take an example of Java or SOA, why do we need so many flavors of Java. As far as SOA is concern, I am still search for true enterprise-wide SOA implementation. Ultimately everything end-up with the way you implement these systems. My experience says every technology is good, what makes system unique is people around it. Most of the system or project fails not because of SCIENCE but ART.

Mr. Radhakrishan Marar it is bound to happen. In every industry in the beginning their are a lot of opportunities. Than a stage comes where you have to create opportunities. Than a stage comes where you have to specialize to be the master of the specific field. The opportunities are there but since the players are more the competition has become tough. It is natural and nothing unnatural.

Sanjay Since am in this field for more than decade, am not seeing a saturation, but what is need is the innvoation in our services, product and our offerring. Company are really looking at the IT industry to help them out to control the cost. Because in today's business world, every wants the same revenue but they want to control the cost exp side. So the process consulting, re-enginerring, best practice of the product, industry KPI are the need of the work. Coming back to the questions, there is saturation in the bill rates and the support rates, but IT company are increasing there offerring in high end consulting, IT road map strategy, Business road map strategy, Business Process Management, Data Mining, Risk Strategic road map, Increasing the REvenue Model for the Csutomer, etc.... Again it depends on each company were they want to head to, the leadership of mangement plays a important role here on how to move foward. This is were most of the leading IT companies in India are moving towards Blue Ocean Strategy in market space and also in offerring.

i feel..In the highly competitive environment of enterprise software, catching the next technological wave used to be the way to win. Being the first to market with an innovative new technology could mean emerging as the "Next new thing" instead of being folded into a larger company. Similarly, for customers, early adoption of the right emerging technology could provide the incremental boost needed to pull ahead of the competition... its way again...

The price war has always been there. During recession the upper margins of the price dipped a bit. But i am sure that the demand is not going less. Because of recession companies have started fighting for their existence. But that just means that we have too many companies and too much of competition. The ones who are honourable players in the IT Market, are still having a roll.. Yeah i agree that some clients are pulling off their projects because the recession has hit their sales as well. but they do have a demand though... its just that if the companies come to their terms of pricing, they will still offer business.

Price war is there all the time in all the industries, of course we see saturation in IT which doesnt mean end to IT era, actually this is beginning to next to the next stage. Basically IT companies leverage other industry am i right?... so very often other industry will undergo business process changes and business process improvement ,So IT companies will survive forever with healthy competition sorry if misunderstood the question... Thanks, Karthick
