Recently, with the rapid increase in the SOHO businesses and the large number of Start-up’s, who have smaller buying capacity, we felt the need to re-evaluate our business models to accommodate these trends. As our focus now, we aim at catering to this fast growing market via our retail business arm. With enhanced service offerings and special benefits and assurance to Channel Partners, we aim to leverage this opportunity of growing our consumer segment through the SI and IT Retailer community. And we could not have found a better platform for this than ASIRT. We have been coming to ASIRT time and again, whenever we have anything special to offer to the SI community and ASIRT Members have enthusiastically stood by us. We look forward to yet another supportive collaboration.”
