City based DotCord IT Solutions a web designing company has now tied up with eTH1 network solutions, which also is a Belgaum based web hosting company for its new site for Belgaumites. The said site will be launched in early next month and it will be a very effective site for networking with other Belgaumites. When this blog spoke to Sandeep Hegde MD of DotCord IT Solutions he said, they had the website plan long time ago and were supposed to host it else where, but with the IT group meet, they decided to host the site with eTH1 network solutions which is also based in Belgaum and both are first time entrepreneurs. He also added this site is unique combination of collective growth as the site is also for Belgaumites. It is like For Belgaum, By Belgaum and To Belgaum.

The website will contain all information on the various companies in Belgaum and will contain a forum for all the employees of the different companies to come and exchange thoughts and collaborate. In addition, a discussion was arrived on to a specific date on which the group will meet monthly.

The group also decided to take seminars and workshops at different colleges on various topics so that the next generation knows about the companies in Belgaum and students nurtured with the current requirements of the companies.

The second meeting was another step forward for the IT in Belgaum. Many would laugh at this and might say what will these people achieve in the end. However, we are all optimistic of the future and victorious when people from Belgaum have started to collaborate with each other, which show that there are opportunities, we need to cater to them.
