BANGALORE: Summit Data Products Ltd, a distributor of IT products for the print and

publishing industry, is looking to expand its operations by offering solutions for the

CAD/CAM market. "Summit has been catering to the print and pushing industry for the

past eight years. The CAD/CAM market is a natural extension of that business, we would

like to leverage our strengths in the vertical market segment," revealed Summit

managing director Rakesh Kapoor.

Summit is a national distributor for Apple, Adobe, Quark and Umax. Recently, visual

computing major SGI appointed Summit as master reseller for its new visual workstations,

which run Windows NT on Intel hardware--a major shift from SGI's Unix/RISC heritage. The

push into the CAD/CAM segment follows that tie up.

Summit has entered into strategic alliances with M-CAD majors SDRC and PTC to showcase

their software products on the SGI platform. The company will, later this month, conduct

roadshows across the country in conjunction with PTC. A similar exercise with SDRC was

concluded recently. The company is in talks with Autodesk and IBM for similar alliances.

Summit hopes to target the defence sector, engineering, design, entertainment and GIS

segments with its solutions. It has already put in place trained CAD/CAM manpower at its

offices. Other than Delhi, the company has three branch offices in Mumbai, Bangalore hopes

to earn 25 to 30 per cent of its revenue from the CAD/CAM business.
