Bihar has great potential for industrial growth and development. Currently, industry only contributes 3.2% to Bihar's GDP, which is far below the national average of 20.1%, making Bihar one of the least industrialized states. While Bihar was once the richest state in India, political instability and corruption in the 1990s led to an economic collapse. The separation of Jharkhand further reduced industry as many businesses were located there. However, with recent economic reforms and good governance, Bihar is well positioned to boost industrialization over the next decade and improve livelihoods. Increased industry can help solve issues of unemployment, poverty, and migration by generating more jobs and opportunities in the state.

The Act transitions the U.S. from a "first to invent" system to a "first to file" system, increasing the urgency to file patent applications quickly. It also aims to improve patent quality through new procedures allowing easier challenges of patents outside the court system. However, the Act likely will not cut back on large patent lawsuit damages or significantly impact patent "trolls" in the near future. The biggest change is transitioning to a "first to file" priority system.
This document provides an overview of technology spending by U.S. bankers in 2012. It discusses key themes in the banking industry like channel shift, disintermediation, customer engagement, and improving customer experience. The document also summarizes the state of the banking industry in 2011, noting continued challenges from the mortgage crisis but signs of recovery. Technology spending growth is projected to be modest at 1.8% in 2012 due to uncertainties. The rest of the document breaks down projected spending areas and provides expert opinions on trends in mobile banking, analytics, compliance, security and other technologies.

Summary
OVERVIEW
Individuals working in information technology have been faced with
many challenges over the past decade. IT jobs have been off-shored to
low-cost labor countries, like India, causing a U.S. brain drain, perhaps the
first in our country’s history. With the great off-shoring of IT jobs, the U.S.
has seen a dramatic decline in the number of young people interested in
IT as a profession. According to the Computing Research Association, the
number of new computer science majors has been on the decline since
2000, falling from close to 16,000 to only 7,798 in fall 2006 and that trend is
not expected to reverse any time soon. Meaning today there are fewer
professionals working in the U.S. in IT than in 1990. No one knows the
exact number of IT jobs that have been sent overseas; however a 2004
estimate marked the number of IT jobs that were previously performed in
the U.S. but are now being performed by overseas contractors at between
300,000 and 400,000. Additionally, a Forrester Research report projected
that 3.3 million IT jobs would be sent overseas from 2000-2015; that is
approximately 220,000 IT jobs a year.
IT professionals also suffered heavily in the recent recession. In 2008, as
the economy faltered, companies, many of whom didn’t have the coffers
to survive a deep and dark recession, laid off workers and halted major,
capital intensive projects that were IT oriented.
Today, however, corporations have filled their cash tills to the sum raising
between $4 trillion and $2.5 trillion. They’re hanging on to cash as a basic
survival mechanism to face the unknown. This behavior has prompted
unprecedented moves by banks. Bank of New York Mellon, for example,
recently started to charge a fee for deposits of $50,000 and above, signaling
to the marketplace that they don’t want any more cash, a liability on their
balance sheet. Since January, trends in the IT workforce have taken
unlikely turns too. Companies that delayed projects in 2008, 2009 and
2010, are now dusting off their plans and pulling those IT projects off the
shelf. So much so that we’re now in the unique position of having an IT
skills shortage. The Intersect Group’s Rob MacLane recently said in a blog
post that the top 5 IT skills in high demand today are Java Developers, dot
Net Developers, Project Managers, Business Intelligence/Analytics
Professionals and Quality Assurance Professionals.
In light of our national economic situation and current job trends, The
Intersect Group is leading the way in exploring what can be expected in

the near future. Starting in Atlanta, The Intersect Group is developing
research to closely monitor where job growth is occurring and how the
financial health of Atlanta companies correlates with the country as a
whole. At The Intersect Group, we are beginning to see a new trend
toward the re-shoring of IT jobs and will be expanding our upcoming
research to capture data about the on-shoring and off-shoring of jobs.
This inaugural survey of Atlanta CIOs explores whether the information
technology functions of Atlanta companies are increasing the number of
IT professionals they employ, the types of positions being created and the
characteristics of employees filling those positions. In addition, the survey
looks into the finances of respondent companies to understand health and
growth prospects. For example, whether or not respondent companies
saw an increase in revenues or profits compared to 2009, or whether the IT
function will increase spending and staffing in comparison with 2010.

SURVEY
RESULTS
TRENDS
By the end of Q4 2008 it was obvious that the financial crisis had
transformed into a jobs crisis, leaving many unemployed. Today, while
the economy is improving, there are still many left without jobs. The
national employment situation for August 2011 indicated a national
unemployment rate of 9.1% while the August unemployment numbers for
the state of Georgia stand at 10.2%, higher than the national average.
Throughout the job crisis, companies cut back in all areas and one of the
hardest hit was the information technology function. The loss of jobs in
this function was two-fold, being affected by the economy and the off-
shoring of IT jobs to countries such as India. The cut back in IT employees
in the U.S. began more than a decade ago when IT jobs silently shifted to
other countries by companies seeking to lower business costs.
This loss of American IT jobs was only increased by the U.S.’ deep
recession from which we are just beginning to recover. During the
recession companies tabled IT projects, specifically development projects
that could be postponed until the economy was steady again. Today, The
Intersect Group is seeing strong growth in IT positions, a trend supported
by this survey which indicated that 73.9 percent of respondents plan to
increase staffing in their IT function in 2011, while none plan to reduce
staff. This finding can be supported by numbers released by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics indicating that the unemployment rate for IT jobs was
only 3.3 percent; far below the national unemployment rate.

Summary
The results of the survey suggest that the majority of companies will hire
between one and five employees and these employees will be staffed by
senior level, permanent hire, contract hire and contract-to-permanent hire
employees with the greatest emphasis on permanent hire employees. In
addition, survey results indicate that Q3 2011 will be a stronger hiring
quarter for IT jobs, as companies get back to the business of doing
business following the summer months. However, given the market’s
reaction in August to the debt ceiling debate and the on-going trouble in
Europe, it will be interesting to see if Q3 is the strong hiring quarter that
CIOs foresaw it to be in May and June when this survey was conducted.

FACTORS
As the U.S. economy starts to show some signs of improvement, IT
functions are once again growing as previously tabled projects are coming
off the shelf. Companies are seeing an increased need for staffing that is
being driven by new systems deployments, speed to market and systems
maintenance. Additionally, there is a growing need for IT professionals
with the skills to organize data in a way that can empower executives to
make educated strategic decisions regarding their goods or services.
Historically, all companies in these situations would increase staff to meet
growing needs, however today some are choosing to meet their needs by
building internally and using current resources, stretching employees
thin, rather than hiring or outsourcing.

ORGANIZATION/BUSINESS
OUTLOOK
As we slowly come out of the recession, companies will increase staffing,
requiring talented and qualified candidates to fill new positions. In this
situation, companies can turn to staffing companies to provide them with
the best talent. However, the valuable resources that staffing companies
provide are not being fully realized, as indicated by survey results. The
survey results suggest that the majority of companies will not spend more
money in 2011 on staffing companies to help them find IT resources;
rather companies will either decrease their spending or remain constant.

CONCLUSION
As we continue to see an uptick in our economy and as more companies
regain confidence and begin hiring there will be an increase in the number
of jobs available in all areas, but most specifically in information
technology. An increased number of development and systems projects
coming off the shelf is driving this increase and creating a positive overall
picture of the future of the IT function.
