Among the second-tier network integrators, Comptel has shown much faster growth than others have. 70 percent of its business came from the West. This partner of Wipro Infotech, however, has not been able to grow as dramatically as Network Solutions—also a second-tier NI till a few years ago.

It implemented over 20 NI projects in 1999-00. Specializing in structured cabling systems and LAN integration, the company earned a revenue of Rs 15 crore from NI projects last fiscal and is currently implementing eight projects.

Operating from its five offices spread across the country, Comptel has collaborations and tie-ups with leading vendors and suppliers which include Lucent Technologies, 3Com, Cisco, and Nortel Networks. The company also undertakes technology-training programmes for corporate end users on demand. This includes training modules on network management, product maintenance, and troubleshooting.

If Comptel wants to break into the big league, it needs to develop newer skill-sets and implement larger LAN/WAN projects. It also needs to be more active in other regions, especially in the East where its presence at present is virtually non-existent.
