nascent stage of development. However it has entered a very potent IT training & development market which provides quite a few opportunities of growth.

In spite of the opportunities it is imperative from the company’s point of view that they make the best use of opportunities available. It is also important that that the company must make the fullest possible use of its strengths to gain competitive edge.

However, it must be also be said that the company must concentrate on eliminating the weaknesses, such as low brand awareness which probably is the biggest barrier in HCL CDC’s success. The company shall also keep in mind that due to the potent IT training & development market many IT giants such as IBM, Accenture are looking to enter the market.
