Epitome recently bagged its second major deal for McNully Bharat project. The
project's venue is Rajarhat area, where Epitome will be taking care of the
active components. Valued at Rs 1 crore, this is the second landmark tender by
the company, which claimed to have outbid networking giants like Siemens, IBM,
HCL Comnet and Techniche. “We have already bagged the passive component supply
and deployment in this project,” informed Rajarshi Ghosh, Executive Director,
Epitome.
With Shintu Chakraborty, Director-Operations and Marketing, Epitome playing
the pivotal role in the project, the company is optimistic about revival.
Previously, the company had provided a holistic networking model for 4,330 nodes
with 114 dual-face plate and 1,093 quad-face plate technology. It used Tyco
Electronics products and solutions in the same project, which is said to have
revived the presence of Epitome in the eastern channel space.
“We are now concenÂtrating on system integration. With our newfound vigor, we
are focussed on this aspect, as our customers are seeking a complete solution
rather than a dissembled set of requirements consisting of networking, data
storage and other solutions,” Ghosh added. In its revival phase to evolve as a
system integrator, Epitome successfully deployed a major project in Cultural
Research Center owned by the Bengal Government. Desperately seeking entry into
the government vertical, Epitome has deployed servers, anti-virus and storage
solutions, desktops and networking equipment in the project estimated at Rs 25
lakh.
“New orders will soon be coming from the government, as this has been a pilot
project for the Cultural Research Center and we hope to maximize in this space,”
he stated. Besides seeking a dramatic entry into system integration and tapping
the government vertical, Epitome is fully concentrating on its core networking
business. The company is also focusing on the SMB and enterprise sector.
The comapny has also deployed a 10km radius wi-fi solution for ECIL, about
65km from Bokaro. “ECIL is soon coming up with a major steel plant near Bokaro
and they have hired 3,500 Chinese employees for the project. The employees have
been put up in a township, where we deployed the wi-fi solution, ensuring zero
downtime using Cisco wireless solution,” Ghosh added.
Also recently, the company has completed a project for the fast food major,
Monginis, in Dhulagarh, which is 10km from Kolkata, in passive component
solutions. Valued at Rs 25 lakh, Epitome is optimistic about fresh orders to
come soon.
