The second category is global outsourcer. They are global IMS provider and we work with them on turnkey projects to provide professional services.

Kindly tell us about your implementation story that has become a turning point for your company’s success.
We have served tons of customers so far; however, the feather in the cap is when we delivered solution for the prestigious project, India smart city. The first smart city project made our mark in the ecosystem and further helped us to get various smart city projects. In our first smart city project, we provided enterprise management system that can monitor and manage the citywide setup of video surveillance systems and IT infrastructure from a single-pane-of-glass that resulted in high uptime and significant reduction in support cost.
