PT Metrodata Electronics has targeted an increase in this year's revenues of 13 percent.

According to President Director of Metrodata Lesan Lemanardja, last year the company's revenues reached US$175 million.

“This year, at least it will reach US$200 million,” said Lesan yesterday (04/24) in Jakarta.

Lesan is optimistic about the target because, according to International Data Center, Indonesia's expenditure on information technology in 2006 reached US$1.8 billion.


“This year, it is predicted to rise by 15 percent,” he said.

Lesan also explained that half of Metrodata's revenues were obtained through its role as the distributor of information technology products such as Dell, Epson, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Lenovo and Huawei-3Com.

Yesterday (04/24), through its subsidiary PT Metrodata e Business, Metrodata was appointed a distributor for the products of Emerson Network Power.

Emerson is a US-based company that provides information technology solutions such as power instruments, as well as connectivity and cooling solutions for computer systems.

According to President of Asia Pacific Emerson Ajeet Singh, the selling of Emerson products last year amounted to US$1 billion with 5.1 percent growth.

He said he hoped that market in Indonesia would contribute much for the turnover of Emerson products.

Emerson will aim at small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

“SMEs in Indonesia have more rapid development in their information technology penetration compared to medium- and large-sized enterprises,” said Lesan.
