Telecom sector major Bharti Airtel is planning its foray into the information technology (IT) business by developing software applications for small and medium businesses (SMBs) and enterprises on a pay-per-use or software-as-a-service (SaaS) model.
The company is currently in talks with large software vendors such as Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, Google and Jamcracker to develop the required applications. It already has a tie up with Microsoft to offers hosted messaging and collaboration solutions for SMBs.
The private sector telecom major is planning to play the role of “CIO in the cloud” for the SMBs by offering the CIO services on a virtual basis.
