In
an attempt to increase awareness about the benefits of
computerisation and also to coincide with its national
launch, India’s premier information enabling company
has teamed up with Microsoft to organise a two-day exhibition
called ‘HCL PC Experience 2002.’ The event,
scheduled to be held on 21 and 22 December 2002, will
give the citizens of Hyderabad a chance of a lifetime
to experience for themselves the advantages of computerisation.
The two-day event is divided into four zones (game, business, family and sponsors) and is aimed at both families and business enterprises. The families via the interactive games software and interactive demonstration of various software and PCs will be able to determine for themselves which products are most suitable to their needs and how they can add value to their lives.
For business enterprises, not only will the business zone at the exposition display the various business application products of both companies, but a special seminar titled ‘Business Advantage,’ organised on the second half of 20 December, will give them an opportunity to understand how they can bring in efficiencies and increase the profitability of their businesses. The seminar will have speakers from Microsoft, Intel and HCL Infosystems.
In order to bring about awareness and invite registration for the event, the organisers have planned an equally extensive promotion exercise on 21 and 22 December. As part of the awareness campaign, the organisers will undertake door-to-door visits in residential colonies and business enterprises, visiting schools and setting up kiosks at local shopping and office areas.
