Please highlight some compelling IT solutions for SMEs in India?



Ravinder Raina: NEC India is in the business of integrating IT and networking technologies for Indian small and medium enterprises (SMEs). As a part of its commitment to the SME market in India, NEC offers products & solutions that conform to the highest international quality standards and caters to SME needs for both cost savings and business growth.



Indian SMEs look at UC as a low-cost tool to communicate effectively with customers and suppliers as well as facilitate communication across multiple branch locations. This existing need has inspired us to come up with a unified communication server SL1000 for this segment which will help them enhance their abilities.

NEC's SL1000 provides SMEs with a solution that combines multiple applications such as PBX, KTX and IP telephony in a single system and at affordable prices. This all-in-one solution provides hybrid ports that integrate key telephones, single line telephones, facsimiles and more with rich built-in functions that help in lowering the total cost of ownership.

Abhilesh Guleria: Also with changing time and technology, multimedia offerings, especially projectors have undergone a tremendous change. With IT infrastructure spending becoming an essential part of every business budget, projectors have become integral to all organizations. The adoption of projectors has seen a tremendous demand among small business setups. Leveraging on this opportunity, we launched a cost-effective V-series line of projectors which includes the V300X, V260X, V230X, V260 and V230 models for the SMEs. The V-Series models are especially suited for the Indian market as they offer cutting edge DLP technology with eco-friendly features at a competitive price point. This new range also stands out because of its strong environmental credentials and unbeatable cost of ownership, as verified by the TCO certification for the XGA models.

What are the essential IT solutions that can be used to increase production, efficiency and profitability of SMEs in India?



Ravinder Raina: In today's scenario, technology has become the pulse of modern day business and this change has been largely observed with the Indian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that contribute more than 60% to the Indian GDP while their spending on IT is only 30% of India's total IT spending. The Indian SME market is worth $5 billion and there are over 11 million SME units in India that produce more than 8,000 products. In spite of this, there are certain challenges that the Indian SMEs are facing in terms of productivity and efficiency.



We view the SME sector as the next level of growth for NEC in India. Keeping in mind the potential & price sensitive nature of SMEs, NEC keeps introducing specialized solutions to cater to this segment.
