Ishajaya’s initiative and investment in Research and Development is aimed towards bringing technology at the finger tips. Various interdisciplinary interfaces of Information Systems are fast emerging to bring technology and innovations to common masses. All these significant developments are largely due to the transformation of Information Technology (IT) towards networked worlds and its effects on global communications and economies.

While these developments are shaping the way information is used in all forms of human enterprise, they are also setting the tone and pace of information systems of the future. The major advances in IT such as client/server systems, the web based interactive solution and the desktop/multimedia computing revolution, for example, have led to numerous important vistas of research and development with considerable practical impact and academic significance. While the industry seeks to develop high performance IS/IT solutions to a variety of contemporary information support needs, Ishajaya looks to extend the reach of Information System technology into new application domains.

Ishajaya will focus on research and development at the IS/IT interface in the healthcare and other software application. The interfaces include the base disciplines of computer science, telecommunications, operations research and Health Information Systems. Emerging areas that Ishajaya will concentrate on in the next few years include, but are not limited to: enterprise modelling and integration, emerging object/web technologies, information economics, IT integrated manufacturing, medical informatics, mobile computing and electronic commerce.
