Datacraft helps manufacturers tackle key pressing issues
Draws on its industry expertise and experience

Mumbai, 04 September 2007 - Datacraft, the Asia-Pacific region\'s leading independent
IT solutions and services company, is strengthening its focus on the manufacturing
industry by developing best-of-breed solutions to help manufacturers tackle their
pressing concerns. Some of these key concerns include enhancing customer
satisfaction and experience, improving business and operational processes, ensuring
on-time information flow and delivery, faster time-to-market and enhanced security
and risk management.

The focus on the manufacturing industry is in line with Datacraft's go-to-market
strategy to extend its vertical market share and penetration. The other vertical
business focus includes the Financial Services, Media & Communications and Travel &
Transportation industries.

"The manufacturing sectors in Asia are experiencing a massive boost, as
manufacturers continue to outsource or source their production facilities and locate
their global supply chain centres to the region for cost savings, effective
fulfilment and proximity to raw materials," said Sunil Manglore, CEO, Datacraft
India Pvt. Ltd.

"There is also an increasing trend for manufacturers using technology to drive their
dynamic business strategy and resolve their pressing issues, such as shorter product
development cycles, faster time-to-market, on-time delivery, minimising supply chain
risks, and linking plant floor to office for effective information flow. By drawing
on our experience and industry insight, Datacraft is well-positioned to help these
manufacturers successfully manage their technological and globalisation issues with
our customised, best-of-breed solutions and services," Manglore added.

To further penetrate into the industry, Datacraft will also be tying up with several
manufacturing technology vendors in order to enhance its solutions portfolio and
provide best-of-breed technologies to effectively address the manufacturers'
challenges.

Datacraft has established a strong track record in the manufacturing industry,
having implemented turnkey projects for several leading manufacturers from hi-tech
to heavy industries. Some of the projects included:

 Implementing a network storage infrastructure for Paxar Far East ('Paxar'),
a world leading provider of garment tags and labelling systems to the apparel
industry. Paxar\'s data volume had increased significantly as its garment tag
production involves significant amounts of data in the form of digital artwork and
variable data such as size, stock-keeping unit numbers. Datacraft's solution has
increased Paxar's data storage capacity tremendously, enabling them to back-up
everything in just a few hours whilst reducing file server response times for end
users.

 Setting up an internet data centre and VPN (virtual private network) for
Dongkuk Steel, a leading Korean specialty steel manufacturer, to streamline its
business processes. Datacraft implemented a new data centre and high-security IP
network to seamlessly integrate its communications infrastructure for faster access
to resources, effective collaboration and data protection.

 Deploying a Digital Video Security Surveillance (DVSS) solution for Meyer\'s
manufacturing plant in Thailand - one of the largest cookware and appliance
manufacturers. Datacraft\'s DVSS security monitoring solution integrates with Meyer\'s
26 existing security system, whilst providing a scalable security system that can
automatically analyse \'live\' video streams to alert security personnel of
significant movements and unusual behaviour.
