As IT Industry is going through a very crucial time due to the fight from the online business there was an immediate need to join hands with each other to show the strength and fight for the need. Today dealers are also concerned with the strategy of few vendors and the strategies of online partners to kill the traditional business by giving huge discount offers. At this moment where most of the partners are struggling for survival, FAIITA can surely play a major role by discussing things with vendors, government and regional associations to get the best possible conclusion, as reported by a dealer in the market.
