Datacraft India: The NI to SI Shift

Having embarked on the journey in 2003-04, it was in FY05 that Datacraft

completed the metamorphosis from a pure network integrator into an end-to-end

solution provider. India also became one of the principal hubs for all Datacraft

operations across AP. Therefore, Datacraft consolidated its Managed Services

operations in five STARtrac Centers across Asia into a Global Services Center (GSC)

in Bangalore with Singapore as the DR center. One of the country's largest

private insurance companies became the first customer at GSC.

SBI awarded a $1 million contract to design, build and manage a network

connecting all its 57 offices abroad across 20 countries. On the SI front,

Datacraft was appointed by Jabil Circuit India to set up an IP network as well

as integrate IP telephony, security and wireless solutions at its second

manufacturing plant in Pune.
