Mr. Dhiraj Vijayvargia: On a personal note, I have been associated with this SME business from last 24 years. Before starting off with Priyam Infosystems, I served in a software development company for almost 9 years and later founded this company in 2002. My core focus remained the same, targeting the SME domain and we have been quite fortunate that in the same year of our onset Tally approached us and extended their partnership with us.
Today, over about 16 years down the line, we have a strong business presence across 70 cities in the nation with over 15000 happy customer association.

Over the time Tally has been very focused in its field of work and has always developed solutions that effectively addressed all SMErequirements.

Mr. Dhiraj Vijayvargia: Technology realm has been changing on a rapid pace by now. As I see, Cloud is shaping really well. The fact is CapEx of every enterprise is increasing very heavily allowing businesses to easily move towards the cloud. Upgradation of hardware infrastructure has seen a decent development making cloud upgrades even more practically conceivable.
IT Voice: What are your growth drivers in today’s fast-changing technology domain?
Mr. Dhiraj Vijayvargia: Indian economy has always been served by SMEs. Its safe to say that the role of SME in the Indian economy is much more crucial than the larger accounts. I believe if a company dealing with SME can deliver the right solution at right time at the right price, they’ll always lead the market.
Here I’d like to quote a beautiful statement by Mr. Bharat Goenka owner of Tally, “there’s only one source of income, else everything you buy. Your source of income is your customer, keep your customer happy he’ll keep giving you money. Customer will pay u any money till the time u provide the right solution”
On the strategy front, I see great upcoming growth in ERP space. The connected environment inSME is going to flourish, people will talk about Data Analysis, BI solutions, so the next key driver will be connected environment where data can communicate
IT Voice: According to you, how big an entity has ‘Data’ become in modern enterprise space?
Mr. Dhiraj Vijayvargia: Data is one source which will give all crucial analytics to you. The answer to“where what and when”can only be derived through data. In my opinion, Data analytics has got the answer for every modern query now. Analytics is the key to MIS (Management Information System). Again, I’d quote that data analytics, connected environment, and ERP will be the tech majors of 2019.
IT Voice: Can you tell us something about your marketing strategies and service networks?
Mr. Dhiraj Vijayvargia: Over a period of time we have closely worked with Tally that helped us create this entire ecosystem with them. In the Rajasthan market, the ecosystem is led by a few top partners and we are greatly supported by this partner ecosystem. Currently, we are selling our solutions through this partner ecosystem.
IT Voice: Can you tell more about your journey and vision for the coming time?
Mr. Dhiraj Vijayvargia: I personally believe that being focused and honest with my work has been my biggest motivator. Being an entrepreneur is a wonderful way of making shaping a career, but it does come with a different set of challenges. I’d say that doing a job was quite easy for me but doing business is tough. Today, building an organization and managing people has become very challenging. To carry an organization, one needs to have a cool temperament, every day is different here and I try to enjoy every bit of it. It’s like being the captain of a ship, with a direct focus on upcoming opportunities.
