In a bid to help the Indian IT firms to raise their quality standards, the Consortium for IT Software Quality (CISQ) has launched its India chapter. It is a neutral, open forum in which customers and suppliers of IT application software can develop an industry wide approach for measuring and improving IT application quality. CISQ is an IT industry leadership group comprising of IT executives from the Global 2000, system integrators, outsourced service providers, and software technology vendors.

As India’s IT industry continues to make a mark on the global IT landscape, meeting global quality standards is becoming more imperative to maintain the momentum of growth in the IT sector.

According to Forrester, the global IT market is expected to witness an exponential growth of 9.3 percent and touch $1,534 billion in 2010. India has about 20-25 percent share in the global IT consulting market alone. CISQ will now be present in India through its Executive Forum and help enable Indian IT companies raise their quality standards.

Major global corporations including Tata Consultancy Services, AXA, IBM, General Motors, McKesson, Morgan Stanley, and the US Department of Homeland Security are some of the CISQ members.
