The system is designed such as to take into consideration the fact that the financial, purchase, inventory, stores, electrical, mechanical and other such departments are using information, which is co-related. We have implemented a complete advanced process control solution to interface all plant process parameter and then used this information for other departments. For example, when a raw material tank level fall, automated purchase orders are generated at the purchase department with all fields already filled (no human error possible). Finance tables reflect the entry of the automated purchase order and even the Materials Department gets a message as to when to expect which delivery.

 

The solutions is one of Total Plant Integration. The solution provides application software modules for all departments of the plant.

Our Technical  Expertise:

 

We  are proud of our technical expertise in Networking  aspects from Cross - platform Connectivity  to 100Mbps  Networks. We have not only supplied products to OEM’s  like HCL  Frontline Solutions Ltd., Wipro Infotech  Ltd., Zenith Computers Ltd., PCS Ltd., Modi Olivetti  Ltd., Altos (I) Ltd. and  Nelito Systems, but also given technical support to them. In fact, a measure of the level of comfort that companies have with us in this area can be gauged by the fact that several large service providers have leveraged our technical expertise.  This they have done so as to ensure a certain level of technical competence that they were sure we would provide. The companies who have used us for their cabling projects include HCL Frontline Solutions (project at Giny and Johny), Modi Olivetti Ltd. (project at Central Bank) and D-Link (project at Glaxo Ltd.).

Also , we have maintained and done troubleshooting for large Networks installed by Microland, CMS, HCL - Comnet, etc. We have done all the consultancy work for the Securities and Exchange board of India (SEBI) to implement their IT plan. In fact ONSPEC Infotech has considerably reduced the cost of the project as well as identified value added products.




 



 

Our Aim:

 

Our  aim  is  to  work  with  you  closely  to  satisfy  your  needs  from  business consulting  to  specific  technology, planning  &  implementation  of  specific  services,  by  providing  a  complete  solution -  from  systems  design to  product  installation  to  ongoing  support.  However,  we  do  this  while  keeping  in  mind  that  the  solutions  we  provide  should  easily  accommodate  new  capabilities - without  sacrificing  existing  investments.  This  translates  into  customer  delight,  with  a  competitive  edge  for  business critical  solutions.

 

One  key  paradigm  which  is  top  of  mind  for  us  is  to  offer  cost  effective, flexible  foundations  for  controlling  increasingly  complex  environments  with  solutions  that  are  designed  to  meet  current  and  future  requirements.  We  try  and  achieve  this  by  analyzing   the  cost  benefit  dimensions  of  any  solution  and  not  being  bound  to  any  specific  product.

 




 


Our Vision:

 

ONSPEC ‘s   vision  is  to  conceive  and  deliver  superior  solutions  and  services  which being  product - independent and need - based  enable  our  customers  to  productively  utilize  and  manage  their  systems, networks  and  associated  environments,  consistent  with  the  business goals   of  the  enterprise  and  regardless  of  the  size,  complexity  or  mix  of  vendors.

 

Our  vision  has  reinforced  a  customer - first  focus  in  the  firm  which  has  helped  us  bag  contracts  from  several  demanding  customers. Our  proficiency  in  AT & T  structured  cabling, backbones  including  thicknet,  thinnet  and  Fiber, FDDI  Network  solutions  for  cross  platform  connectivity, software  solutions  have  won  us  many  reputed  customers. Our  expertise  has  also  helped  many  companies  to  fine  tune  their  Networks  to  improve  performance,  reduce  downtime  and  eliminate  cabling  faults.

Our Vital Link:

 

Our  in - house  software  team  specialises   in  Windows  based  applications  that  help  us  provide  complete  information  technology  solutions.  This  vital  link  ensures  that  we  are  better  positioned  to  meet  our  customers  needs  than  either  hardware  suppliers  or  service  suppliers   alone.  The  former  typically  do  not  have  the  depth  of  knowledge  of  their  customer’s  businesses  or  the  expertise  to  bring  about   complete  solutions.  The  service  suppliers,  on  the  other  hand,  lack  the  necessary  platform  and  system’s  expertise.  Only  ONSPEC  offers  both !

 

 

Thus , ONSPEC  offers  a one - stop  solution for  everything  in  the  world  of  Automation, Networking  Hardware  and  the  Configuring, Installation, Servicing, Maintenance  of  Computer  Solutions.
