May 11th, 2007

PCQuest, a CyberMedia publication, will be identifying some of the most
innovative IT implementation projects deployed successfully across the nation.
The publication has received more than 250 nominations from almost every key
industry vertical and in every major technology area.

A 200-page compilation will capture the best IT implementation projects as
also views of key IT implementers and the industry CEOs. PCQuest Editor-in-Chief
Shyam Malhotra said, "The editors interacted with nearly a hundred top IT
implementers to unearth issues and challenges that they faced in rolling out
these projects."

For the fourth successive year, the magazine's editors narrowed down the key
software and hardware platforms in demand today as well as the key challenges
that CIOs encountered while implementing these projects. PCQuest will cover
projects from diverse areas like business intelligence, CRM, document
management, e-Learning, ERP, information systems infrastructure, logistics
management, migration, PLM, supply chain and workflow.

Some of the projects PCQuest acknowledged in 2006 as among the best came from
organizations like ICICI Bank, Sony Entertainment TV, Indian Railways, State
Bank, Reliance, Indian Navy, CRPF, Times of India, Forest Survey of India,
Department of Fertilizers and the Government of Rajasthan.

"Deploying an IT solution in an enterprise is one of the key challenges for
an enterprise CIO today. Every vertical has its own challenges and
characteristics as far as IT deployment is concerned," said Satish Syal,
CIO, NIIT Technologies.

"Enterprise IT implementers are always on their toes to ensure smooth
deployment of an IT solution. This guide will help the CIOs to learn from the
experience of others so that they choose the best and the most apt solution for
their enterprise," said Rajesh Uppal, Chief GM-IT, Maruti and an avid
reader of PCQuest.
