Rocking in Recession: Contracting Agencies show the way
In
its first Annual National Conference, Corp-Corp Inc, a high growth portal for
IT consulting and staffing companies, empanelled leading CEOs and business
heads from government contracting companies who delivered a resounding message:
the recession is a great time to focus on the largest spender in the world-the
US Government. With an annual budget of over $400 billion, the Government will
listen to the right agency, large or small, assured the speakers.
Speaking to a crowded audience at the George Mason University, where the
conference was hosted by Corp-Corp Inc, Sanjay Puri from Optimos, Anil
Patibandla from Nortel Government Solutions, and Ravi Dunkanikoti encouraged
the service providers to focus on three critical issues:
-
Finding the right value proposition in product or solutions that could be
offered to the Government.
- Enabling the contracting agency companies find
new opportunities within existing engagements.
- Exploring ways to improve
existing processes to find engagement opportunities.
More than 100 executives from various IT companies attended this conference,
many from CA, MI, IL, TX, NJ, NY, DE, PA flew in to attend the full-day session
and came away with deep insights.
Tom Johnson, CEO of Setasidealert.com outlined
the complex federal procurement process and how vendors could look for new
opportunities and bid for them in a timely manner. Roger Laplante Senior
Partner of Government Certification Specialist's Inc clarified the 8A edibility
criteria and the process involved in the approval roadmap set out by the SBA.
Prabakaran Murugaiah, CEO of Corp-Corp.com [Now TechFetch.com]
showcased the innovative FETCH technology that empowers companies to find and
match available resources to specific roles and job requirements. FETCH results
are different from typical keyword-based search process; companies can find the
best resources or find opportunities for their consultants without a single
resume search or a job search. The FETCH technology will do the match and
notify the available Jobs in less than 30 seconds. The annual conference
Corp-Corp organizes is a great opportunity for consulting firms to meet in
person and create highly beneficial relationships with others.
Many of the participants also agreed that in-person meeting during such
conferences helps a lot, as it takes weeks and months to schedule an
appointment to meet and learn.
Siva Shankar, CEO Edify Technologies expressed
his happiness that he met his business partner in this conference after 7 years
and re-established the relationship.
Murugaiah plans to continue to host similar conferences across many cities in
the U.S., and empower the consulting companies to create robust, profitable
relationships.
Our next conference will be in Dallas, TX (Jan-16) and Houston,
TX (Jan-17).
