Foreword by your Chairman
For many years big names, big companies and big business have dominated the IT sector. It has become clear in the last few years that the quality of service of these big companies does not come close to the level provided by the independent specialist, working to build up clients and customers rather than to simply make money for share holders. This, our strength, has generally gone unrecognised by both the public and businesses.
It is to address this that ITACS, the Independent Trade Association of Computing Specialists, was formed to provide a voice. Our aims are simply to raise awareness of the independent sector and to promote activities and changes that will benefit us all.
The initial committee has a range of skills and experience from many areas of the local independent sector ranging from contracting through business-to-business and consumer services to retail and e-tail. However, we need to change. Born from demand by a significant number of Brigantia buying group members, your Association must now position itself to deliver to our global community as well as acquiring members from all areas of the sector and all buying groups. We have to make space for proper balance and representation within your Committee to reflect these aspirations.
I feel strongly that we will make a difference to our business environment and benefit not only our own businesses but also those within the ranks of the supply chain who are willing to work together and appreciate our points of view.
We all look forward to progress.
