There is evidence that the domestic market for software products and services is huge as exemplified by the increasing penetration of Internet connectivity, web technology, mobile phone usage, neuro-computing technology, development of national database, multi-modal biometric identification and authentication, knowledge discovery, data mining and data warehousing, emergency response systems, and a host of other platforms.
