The CIOs have spoken…

224 CIOs participated in the CIO Association of India‘s annual survey on India’s Most Respected Technology Vendors.

We asked them the question “Which technology vendor (operating in India) do you respect the most?“

Key Findings:

1. IBM continues to dominate the list. Even though it has lost more than 8% of the votes compared to 2012, it is still almost three times as respected as the next name on the list.
2. Oracle and Google are no longer part of the top 10, they were at 6th and 10th place respectively in 2012.
3. Microsoft has gained four spots, jumping from 8th to 4th place.
4. Dell and HP have exchanged places, Dell is now 2nd and HP occupies the 3rd spot.
5. Cisco has dropped three places from 4th to 7th.
6. EMC and Cognizant are the new entrants into the top 10.

The above line recalls one more new article:

E&Y's Report on Social Media Marketing in India - 2013

Very interesting report …

 

E&Y’s Report on Social Media Marketing in India

Entire Report is of 10 MB, so not attaching … kindly download it from https://www.box.com/ey-smmits  

Ernst & Young has released a 53-page report that explores how brands are using social media in India. The report surveyed 48 social media savvy organizations in India including P&G, Cleartrip, Flipkart, Microsoft and others.

You can view download a printable PDF copy of the report from box.net or view it inline on Google Docs.

 

Here are some of key findings shared in the E&Y report:

• Facebook is the most important platform for marketers in India for engaging customers, followed by Twitter, YouTube and blogging. More than half of the organizations surveyed regularly engage with bloggers or online influencers who have authority and strong following.
• Most brands in India use social media to build communities while others use it to highlight news. They prefer to post generic updates instead of brand updates.
• Almost half of social media-savvy organizations surveyed spend 1%–5% of their marketing budget on social media, most social media budgets are below INR 10 million.
• Majority of social media efforts in India are managed by marketing teams. They use standalone digital agencies as compared to PR or ad agencies.

Indian brands are primarily focusing their attention on Facebook and Twitter while Google Plus, Foursquare and Pinterest are not on the radar, at least in the near future.
