Romtelecom's strategy for its business client segment is based in 2009 on data and voice packages, complemented by technological cost optimization services, as well as system integration or data hosting services, reads Business Standard daily on Thursday.

'We do not longer speak about Romtelecom as a fixed telephony operator, we aggressively developed data hosting services, last year we created a system integration division and now we attempt to add products and services based on IT', said George Makowski, Chief Commercial Officer for Romtelecom's Business Segment.

According to the newspaper, the company posted 400 percent growth last year in terms of number of data service clients for medium and large companies, making up the most dynamic portfolio segment. As well, Romtelecom's virtual private networks (VPN) advanced 66 percent, and broadband internet connections for the business environment increased 47 percent full-year.

'Last year we had a major growth, especially for internet service, private virtual networks and system integration, a segment for which we reached some 20 million euros. This was the first time that Romtelecom started to look carefully at the system integration market. Furthermore, revenue from the data center was also up to several million euro,' underlined George Makowski.

In connection with data hosting center opened in Bucharest in 2006, company's official said it operates almost at full capacity, so that Romtelecom has in view to build another such center.

Referring to the general evolution of the telecommunications market in 2009, the Chief commercial officer appreciated that some companies will be confronted with financial issues, set to lead to a process of market consolidation.
