AGC ICT Solutions Provider and Integrator

Small and Medium Expertises (SMEs) play a pivotal role in the growth of the Indian economy. They currently contribute towards approximately 45% of yearly industrial output and 40% of exports, employing 60 million people. They also create 1.3 million jobs every year and produce more than 8,000 quality products for the Indian and international markets. SME's contribution towards GDP in 2011 was approximately 17% and is expected to increase to 22% by 2012. There are more than 30 million Micro, Small and Medium (MSME) Units in India and their growth is all set to pace ahead of GDP growth. These 30 million SMEs present a $100 million market opportunity in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) space*.

The adoption of ICT among SMEs is still limited, mainly due to lack of awareness. Adopting ICT is an adaptive challenge, not a technical challenge. AGC Networks plays a very critical role in this process by breaking the myth that 'technology is for large enterprises' by first understanding their business needs and then helping them choosing the appropriate technology. It also showcases to them concrete benefits it can bring to their business.

Unified Communications

In today's challenging economic environment, SMEs are have to focus on the most basic elements of their business - the need to cut costs and to grab every single opportunity to sell to and serve customers.

Networking

For SME Expertises, it is a necessity to have a secure, flexible network foundation. Employees need to remain productive whether they're in the office or on the road. Businesses require a network solution that helps lower costs, improve security, enhance customer service and keep the overall enterprise agile.

The AGC SME /channel division has strategic alliances with leading networking OEMs and has the capability to cater to the SME requirements related to both passive and active networking needs in an end-to-end manner.

Data Center and Virtualization

The demand for data center capacity is constantly growing. SMEs are continuously looking for the upgradation of their IT infrastructure. Contrary to popular belief that data center technology and virtualization is relevant only to large enterprises only, they are also very relevant to SMEs as their IT challenges are similar to those of large organizations.

As virtualization needs less physical hardware, SMEs can achieve substantial savings on the cost of servers and their maintenance. Virtualization also enables easier backups and makes disaster recovery much simpler. AGC is capable of providing end-to-end solutions for the computing, storage and information security needs of SMEs. AGC's strong relationship with almost all the major OEMs in this field works favorably for SME customers as they can be served with tailor-made solutions which are both efficient and cost-effective.

Enterprise Applications

SMEs are increasingly looking at IT to fuel growth by integrating their business processes, bringing efficiency and improving response time. Information systems can help bring in a consolidated reporting mechanism to provide a more statistical approach for future planning. Most SMEs are looking at software technologies that are user friendly, efficient and allow scalability of operations to meet the demands of tomorrow. This includes solutions like Enterprise Resource Planning(ERP),

Customer Relation Management (CRM) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) software that would move the organizations towards being more process defined and would normalize the business processes across the organization. These softwares could help manage the raw information available such as service requests, new sales leads and customer order fulfillment. Response time would be vastly improved because of the flow of triggers which helps better integration across all departments. By achieving operational efficiency, SMEs get better Return on Investment (ROI) in addition to well mapped information management for future planning.

Current generation SME enterprise applications include software applications to manage key business functions like financial management and reporting, purchasing, procurement, supply chain, manufacturing and production operations, projects and services, quality, HR and payroll, CRM and business intelligence. These systems effectively integrate activities, employees and business partners through manageable business processes. AGC has proven capabilities and a track record in developing all such enterprise applications targeted towards the SME business segment.
