Prokom and Computerland vie for TP SA network deals
Poland's largest computer systems integrator Prokom is interested in
acquiring Lodz-based Fast, a company making network monitoring software
for telecom operators. Fast services Telekomunikacja Polska S.A. (TP SA)
in three regions, second only to Computerland, which has four such
contracts. Three more regions are up for grabs, namely Poznań, Lublin and
Olsztyn, and Fast will bid for these in cooperation with Prokom, as
earlier it had difficulty competing against Computerland, a major Warsaw
Stock Exchange (WSE)-listed company. The total value of network monitoring
services provided to TP SA is estimated at zl.300 million. Despite
Computerland already securing four regions, Prokom still has a chance to
win a contract for the entire country. This is because TP SA strategic
investor France Telecom is reportedly considering announcing a new tender
for a single, nationwide network monitoring system. (Puls Biznesu, p.5)
