* Sourcing business models
* Partnerships & alliances
* Market opportunities
* Hot technologies (e.g., BI, Web services, VoIP, collaboration technologies)
* Emerging technologies (e.g., the Semantic Web, grid computing, software agents)
* Applications development & maintenance
* Contract software development
* Verticals/industry sectors -- with a focus on supply chain, manufacturing, logistics & transportation apps
* IT issues specific to SMEs (small & medium enterprises)

Published postings have cited sources ranging from Morgan Stanley's The China Internet Report and CIO Survey and Smith Barney's CIO Macro Trends Survey to reports published by DiamondCluster and McKinsey to articles and papers published in trade magazines (including the top IT trades published in India), technical journals, conference proceedings and new technical books.
