ASIRT conducts second TechEDGE day

Keeping in tune with such events, the association conducted its second ASIRT TechEDGE Day recently, which turned out to be a double bonanza for its members, and pre-sales consultants, as it included technical consultant training and evolution workshop on No Cost Branding in association with Parichay Brand Consultants.

Networking Case Studies - Technical and Pre-Sales Training

Netgear brought technical training case studies on networking in the verticals of healthcare, media and hospitality from challenges in each vertical to solution, design, BoQ preparation and implementation.

Netgear team took a step by step approach that explained problems in each vertical, what technologies are required to solve the problem, how to implement those technologies and which Netgear products can be used at each point. With booming construction industry and tens of millions of commercial spaces, hospital chains and hotels coming up in addition to further opening up of banking sector, networking market is supposed to continue booming even in a slowing economy. ASIRT brought its members closer to addressing this huge opportunity that is not to be missed. ASIRT members are now aiming at over 70% of market share in these networking projects coming up over next 3 years.
