Mr. Narsimha Rao Answered Queries of XLRI Students on IT Consulting in Audio-Conference "People with, say core finance background, can join in as finance consultants in IT companies even if they don't have formal background in IT. They must be able to convince the interview panel of their interest in IT. Anyways, when companies recruit from campuses, they give specific trainings in IT to people. So, basic level of interest to work in IT will do the job," Narry said. Regarding the work profile, he explained, "A business analyst will mostly be associated to an industry vertical. He will be involved in proposing IT solutions to business problems. A package consultant will not be restricted to a particular vertical. He will be involved specifically in studying the needs of the organization and determining which package solutions would be good for it, and then actually see that implementation through." "Typically, business consulting in IT companies is done by people with good amount of functional experience. A business consultant is supposed to suggest ideas to solve some of the problems of the clients and see through the execution of those ideas. Indian companies have begun business consulting, for example Infosys Consulting. But most consulting roles in IT companies will involve some basic flavor of IT. Pure business consulting is largely a domain of McKinsey etc." Concluded. Click here to post your views/ comments/ experince on this... Contributed by - |
