Novatium targets 2L customers

Chennai,
Financial Chronicle

Managed computing services provider Novatium Solutions has expanded its presence to 12 cities in the country. It has tied up with Tata Teleservices apart from its existing partners BSNL and MTNL. Novatium is targeting two lakh customers by the end of this financial year.

The company has pioneered the concept of pay-per-use home computing service. With a broadband connection and an access device called Nova Navigator, users can access operating systems and work on applications such as MS Office on a monthly rental basis. Consumers need to own only a monitor and a broadband connection for home computing. The access device comes with a keyboard and a mouse. The company introduced the computing-as-a-service concept for homes in September 2007.

Alok Singh, chief executive officer of Novatium said: “India is on the verge of witnessing a computing revolution and we hope to be its engine. Our products NetPC and Navigator coupled with our unique business model have the potential to revolutionalise the computing market.”

Novatium initially launched its Navigator in Chennai and later expanded to Delhi in partnership with MTNL. The services are now available across 12 circles including Chennai, Tamil Nadu, Bangalore, Thiruvananthapuram, Lucknow and Ambala.

The company offers zero-maintenance computing services starting at Rs 2,999 for the NetPC with monthly charges start from Rs 175. The services include comprehensive computing experience with emphasis on internet, gaming, online education and telephony.
