INFORMATION Technology company Digitec PNG Limited held a roadshow in Lae last Thursday to tell the people about some of its products and services.
Digitec chief executive officer Nirmal Singh said it was also “an opportunity for us to get to know different clients and find out their specific IT needs and how we can help them”.
Steve Boehme from Power Shield Australia was the guest speaker at the event.
Singh said there was room for more development in the IT industry.
“There is definitely room for expansion in the IT industry in PNG in the years to come,” he said.
Singh said despite setting up business in the country only recently, the company has grown from strength-to-strength and has offices in Lae, Port Moresby and Kimbe.
“The road show is basically to showcase the products and services we provide and how we can call help businesses in Lae with their IT needs.”
Services they provide include end-to-end solutions, enterprise storage, surveillance systems, firewall (antivirus), network equipment, internet service provider, data centre, IT peripherals, network support, internet security, cloud computing, backup solution, maintenance, visualisation and facility management.
“We plan to expand to Mt Hagen and Kokopo soon,” he said.
“Digitec is a one-stop shop for any brand you need. But our core products are Dell, IBM, Lenovo, Apple, Toshiba and HP.”
Singh said competition was good and should be encouraged in the country.
He said competition was important because it offered customers a variety of products and services to choose from at competitive prices.
“Competition is good. It is healthy for the consumer and the economic growth of the country,” he said.
