Press Release Summary: Datacraft, Asia's leading independent IT services and
solutions company, has been selected by a global spiritual university to implement
its Cisco TelePresence meeting solution in India.

Press Release Body: Datacraft, Asia's leading independent IT services and solutions
company, has been selected by a global spiritual university offering transcendental
meditation and Vedic education to implement its Cisco TelePresence meeting solution
in India. Aimed at improving collaboration and reducing cost, the contract entails
project management and deployment of Cisco TelePresence 3000 solution by Datacraft
India.

Internationally renowned for its specialised courses on transcendental meditation
and Vedic education, the state-of-the-art university boasts of multiple campuses,
study centres and Partner Institutions that span across the globe. The global
campuses in India are located in Karaundi near Jabalpur and Ayodhya in Uttar
Pradesh.

With such an extensive nationwide coverage, the TelePresence solution provides an
ideal alternative for the university to cut down on the frequent travel of its
lecturers within and outside of India, whilst addressing the challenge of improving
communication timeliness and efficiency. In addition, the solution also makes
knowledge sharing and courseware dissemination seamless among the lecturers and
students.

The Cisco TelePresence 3000 solution comprises a three-panel, 65-inch plasma screen
system complete with a specially designed table that seats six participants on one
side or a \"virtual table\" for 12. It supports life-size images, using ultra
high-definition video and spatial audio.
The life-size images and video clarity of the Cisco TelePresence 3000 solution
allows the participants to see every expression, while the CD-quality audio ensures
that every word can be heard.

Mr. Sunil Manglore, CEO, Datacraft India, said, "We are very pleased to be among the
first few companies to deploy the innovative TelePresence solution for the
educational segment in India. The use of Cisco TelePresence solution can benefit
both the university and its students alike. Using the virtual meeting technology, it
is now easier for students to collaborate and interact directly with the lecturers
and subject matter experts wherever they may be. At the same time, the lecturers can
save time and money spent on travelling across India. We believe the successful
implementation of the TelePresence solution would have a positive impact on raising
the bar of educational excellence for the university.\"
