India's SME challenges
Increasing competition and globalisation, along with the need to produce quality products at best prices, have prompted the industry to introduce new product development methods with modern technology, reports The Economic Times.
The need to evolve technologically-superior methods of product development holds true, especially for players in the SME segment.
The small and medium enterprise sector is widely regarded as the engine of the Indian economy.

Avaya, a global provider of business systems and services, has appointed Anthony Bartolo as vice-president and GM of Avaya's integrated office communications division, according to PR-USA.
In this role, Bartolo will lead the company's small and medium enterprise (SME) initiatives at a time when more companies in this market are seeking effective communications solutions to manage costs while enhancing customer service and worker productivity.
Bartolo joins Avaya from Skyrider, where he was president and CEO.
Boosting SME technology adoption
The Industrial Promotion Department of Thailand plans to create a project called "ERP for SME", using the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, reports The Nation.
This is being done in a bid to encourage small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to adopt enterprise resource planning solutions with minimal investment costs.
The one-year project aims to introduce the SaaS concept to Thai SMEs as a means of helping them reap the benefits of IT without big initial investments.
