solutions, it does structured cabling for enterprises.

Ashtech addresses spam and virus issues with the help of firewalls and
gateway solutions. All these solutions are compatible on the Linux, Windows and
Solaris platforms. Another solution the company deals with is disaster recovery.

Amongst all these, Ashtech considers its core competency in systems
integration. It understands the overall needs of a customer and architects an
appropriate technology for them. It also develops systems for better working of
an organization, by increasing efficiency of machines, and by infrastructure
management too.

To sell this host of various solutions, it caters to various verticals. It
mainly looks at the BFSI, BPO and manufacturing verticals. To serve these
verticals better, it came up with a loophole-free state technology during
2003-04. It increases the rate of data transfer in the office environment for
various activities. As a result, the server is used more efficiently, thereby
increasing the overall throughput in a multifold way.

It has also set its eyes on some other technologies to work at in 2005. It
plans to look more closely at a technology known as e-meeting, with the help of
which company executives will not have to travel all the way to another city
merely to attend a meeting. This can be used to set up one-to-many or
many-to-many meetings within the organization across various cities or with an
external organization as well. This can be done only with the enhancement of the
bandwidth to conduct training sessions, or hold meetings as well. It also plans
to focus more on storage, particularly what the consumer desires. That apart, it
wants to address the issues of spam and infrastructure very seriously, as they
have been plaguing companies a lot off late.

In order to keep employees abreast with these new developments, Ashtech
regularly carries out training to explain the working behind these technologies.
It has bagged certifications from - Microsoft, Cisco, Linux, Solaris and Landesk.
