FSC: infrastructure services have huge potential, but not in 2009

The company will direct its strategy toward providing infrastructure services considering that margins for the segment of independent products are subject to increasingly greater pressures, and the loyalty of clients is very low.

Schadler told Business Standard that the business of infrastructure services has huge growth potential, and Eastern Europe is one of the most significant and interesting regions for FSC, with high growth rates and many segments that can be developed in terms of information technology. However, the financial crisis affected this region as well, and 2009 will not register growth rates as high as 2008 and 2007.

“As of 2010 we see large opportunities for growth, but we cannot make clear forecasts. This would be like reading a crystal ball. Much depends on the economic context,” Schadler added.

Dragos Niculescu, FSC Romania’s General Manager, said that the company has changed its strategic objective in the past year, to becoming leading provider of IT infrastructure services from leading provider of IT equipment, and this change has meant an entire restructuring process for the company.
