Greg Elliott of 1102 GRAND, Midwest Internet Hub and data center, interviews Miriam Ubben, president of Software and Information Technology Association of Kansas

By Greg Elliott

I’ve had many discussions with people involved in the software and IT industries and the topics that usually come up are:

-Where can I find good employees?
-Where can I find other software or IT Professionals to network with?
-Is there an organization that has resources that can help my software or IT company?

My answers to these questions are, “yes,” through the Software and Information Technology Association of Kansas (SITAKS). I was able to visit with Miriam Ubben, president of SITAKS, and here’s what she had to say about this worthwhile organization.

Q: What is SITAKS all about?

A: The Software and Information Technology Association of Kansas was launched in June 2008 to provide support to Kansas’ burgeoning software and information technology (IT) industry. SITAKS is a corporate membership group designed to support Kansas’ 3,200 software and IT companies, as well as companies with large IT departments. We provide state level advocacy, workforce development, capital formation and management level education and networking to our members. You will find value in SITAKS membership if your company has an interest in building connections and establishing your presence within the software and IT sector.

Q: What impact has SITAKS had on the IT Community?

A: The SITAKS membership has grown to 100 member companies in just 18 short months. During this time, SITAKS has hosted over 30 educational and networking events that have brought together software/IT executives that are now leveraging each others’ products and services.
Many of our events center on helping to improve your bottom line. Our events are customized to the software/IT management environment and include such topics as utilizing state and federal R&D tax credits for software development, protecting your company’s IP, securing federal contracts and tapping into state funding programs.
Next February 2010, SITAKS is hosting the first annual Kansas Technology Awards featuring awards in nine categories. This event is designed to bring prominence to our member companies and the sector. We are also rolling out our state legislative platform in December, 2009 which focuses primarily on improving the business environment for software and IT companies.

Q: What opportunities are there to become involved with SITAKS?

A: In addition to attending events and board participation, members have the opportunity to serve on the following SITAKS committees: 1) Public Policy Committee; 2) Workforce Committee; 3) Events Committee; and 4) Membership Committee. Committees meet monthly and provide networking opportunities and an opportunity to provide direction to the organization.

Thank you, Miriam, for taking the time to share about SITAKS! Feel free to contact me via email at Greg@1102Grand.com for questions about SITAKS. Let me know if there are other topics you would like to see discussed here at Nfrastructure EXchange, and I would be happy to look into it. We are currently working on topics that delve into the Healthcare IT and Call Center verticals. Stay tuned!
