Operations and outlook

 

The company’s revenues marginally declined over the previous year due to lower product offtakes, given all business recession. However, services business increased over the previous year (Rs. 1864.000 Millions in FY 2008 to Rs. 2278.000 Millions in FY 2009) during the year which was a 22% increase. This increase was contributed by the existing clients of the company as also some new clients who were added during the year. The increase in services revenue not only helped bridge the gap on product volumes but helped improve profitability of the company for the year.

 

Profits before tax at Rs. 798.000 Millions were 17% higher than the previous year.

 

The outlook for the ensuing year continues to be challenging for the product business. However, with the increased focus on services and the new verticals in Government hospitality sectors, the company hopes to continue its growth in services revenue and margines.

 

 

Lower commission income

Lower interest and investment income (other income) resulting from fall in treasury markets and change in pattern of investments to liquid funds rather than debt funds.

 

Lower products margins

 

Increase in salary related costs and

 

Higher administrative costs resulting from new office in Delhi, Bangalore

 

The company expects to continue its increase in revenues by around 15% in the next year with margins being maintained.

The company entered into an agreement with Fujitsu ICIM Limited, dated 14th march 1996, whereby Fujitsu ICIM Limited would provide office infrastructural Services such as use of air conditioning, telephone, fax, photocopies, computers, pantry services, customer database, insurance cover security for office premises and extend its existing support network in India for a period of ten years from 1st October, 1995 against a consideration of Rs.38.700 Millions.

NIL (as at 30th September 2004, Rs3.870 Millions) is being carried forward to be written off in subsequent years.

Datacraft designs and deploys new campus network for Bangkok University

Singapore, 6 December 2005 – Datacraft, the region's leading independent IT solutions and services company, has been chosen by Bangkok University to design and deploy a new campus network to support its growing IT requirements.

 

Founded in 1962, and offering courses in both English and Thai, Bangkok University has two campuses – City Campus and Rangsit Campus – which are 42 kilometres apart. These cater for a growing population of approximately 30,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students and 1,200 of academic and administrative staff.

Facing an increasing need for a robust IT infrastructure to support this community, the university realised it needed a new, well-architected, threat-resistant network to maximise performance, reduce services outages and increase overall reliability.

 

"Our students are increasingly reliant on technology to support their studies and research while our academic and administrative staff have different, but equally important IT needs," said Professor Attipa Julpisit, director of the computer centre at Bangkok University. "The bottom line was that we needed a more secure, reliable campus network, and Datacraft has provided the answer."

 

Datacraft Processional Services took up the challenge of devising a new network architecture that would meet the university's needs. The design they came up with is easy to manage, contributing to low total cost-of-ownership. As well as delivering the performance to meet current requirements and ability to scales to meet future needs, Datacraft's consultants put a lot of design focus on reliability. BU's new network has link-level redundancy to eliminate single points of failure and ensure availability.

 

"Excellent communications are not an option; they are critical to success in the increasingly competitive tertiary education sector," said Somchart Kanha, General Manager of Datacraft Thailand. "At Bangkok University, with its dual campuses, academic activities are now supported converged communications services running on a world-class IP network. We've designed the network to be easily upgradeable and so as Bangkok University continues to grow, so will this critical infrastructure."

 

With the new network, Bangkok University will be able to provide staff and students alike with high-speed Internet services. The seamless integration between the City and Rangsit campuses also includes VoIP telephony. In addition, the high-availability solution requires far less management and support delivering an excellent return on investment.

NOVEMBER NEWS RELEASE FOR 2005

 

21-NOVEMBER-2005

 

Singapore,  21 November  2005 – Datacraft, the region's leading independent IT solutions and services company, has won a contract from cookware and appliance manufacturer, Meyer Industries, to deploy its Digital Video Security Surveillance (DVSS) solution at the company's manufacturing plant in Thailand.

 

Meyer Corporation is one of the largest, most innovative cookware companies in the United States. They specialise in the distribution of metal cookware and other kitchen products. Their cookware is made by their own affiliate factories throughout the world, including Italy, Thailand, and China.

 

Although the company already had a security system, it needed to upgrade the system to provide improved protection for the factory including an "auto alert" feature to detect any unauthorised personnel entering restricted areas. Meyer chose Datacraft's DVSS Internet Protocol (IP)-based security monitoring solution.

 

"Security is a major priority at our factory," said Komkrit Vongkavivathanakul, assistant manager (MIS) at Meyer Industries Ltd. "Our existing system was outdated and no longer met our requirements. Datacraft's DVSS was the ideal solution because we can integrate it with our existing system thereby protecting our prior investment, while adding state-of-the-art security features."

 

Datacraft's DVSS increases the effectiveness of security initiatives by transforming video images into actionable intelligence: the timely, mission-critical information that an organisation needs to effectively protect people, property and assets.

 

Featuring leading-edge technologies from a host of partners, DVSS addresses a broad spectrum of video surveillance needs on land, on sea, and in the air. For securing expansive perimeters and areas that are topographically impossible to wire, DVSS offers a highly durable and secure video-over-WiFi variant with the same reliability and breadth of functionality as wired CCTV.

 

Under the contract from Meyer, Datacraft will design, integrate, configure and provide training for the new security surveillance system. The new solution will integrate with Meyer's 26 existing cameras and cabling, keeping the additional infrastructure costs to a minimum. The result will be a scalable security system that also includes the auto alert feature that was one of Meyer's key requirements.

 

"Our DVSS technology provides secure video access from virtually anywhere on an organisation's IT network," said Somchart Kanha, General Manager of Datacraft Thailand. "Authorised personnel can rapidly zero-in on images related to specific transactions, personnel, and locations, without serially reviewing countless hours of video recordings.

 

"It also has advanced analytic capabilities that can automatically analyse 'live' video streams and alert security personnel of significant movements and unusual behaviour that might otherwise require countless hours to detect."

 

Datacraft's DVSS can also be interfaced with other security and business systems – from access control and alarm systems to point-of-sale, cargo handling, gaming and inventory control.

 

Programmable recording and retention lets users capture specific activities and regions of interest and retain just these images as needed. And with DVSS remote image retrieval and system administration, all video cameras can be centrally managed with central storage of all video images.
