ii) To encourage and
assist the professionals to maintain the integrity and competence of the
profession.
iii) To foster a sense of
partnership amongst the professionals engaged in these fields.
The Society is of the firm opinion that there should be systematic approach in adapting new information technology with cot-benefit analysis. There should also be a plan to strengthen infrastructure viz., to create manpower and maintenance support to the new technology. The Society is firmly committed to provide a congenial environment for interaction among information innovation, industry, technology management and services which are socially relevant in the interest of the Nation. The SIS functions through an Executive Committee consisting of experts from different institutions and assisted by various sub-committees for carrying out its programme.
