After spending more than 30 years in the IT industry, working with Indian and international System Integration companies, I have seen the industry evolve, stagnate, and reinvent itself countless times. I have watched System Integrators rise to critical importance, yet remain undervalued, underpaid, and consistently overlooked.
This book is not just an account of industry challenges—it is a call to recognize and respect the role of System Integrators as trusted advisors, solution architects, and operational backbone of the IT business.
The IT industry cannot afford to continue neglecting the System Integrators who make it work. Whether you are a customer, OEM, or distributor, it is time to rethink how this ecosystem operates—and that’s precisely what this book is here to do.
