Our Internet Journey
FrontPoint Systems can trace its beginnings to September 1995 in New
Jersey - a time "pre-historic" by today's new dot.com startup
standards. A time when there were scarcely a dozen dial-up Internet connections
in all of Chennai. A time when the Internet was a concept, a passing fad
for most Indian companies.
A Harvard MBA from USA returning to India, wanted some expert advice
and assistance in launching one of the first web-design and hosting companies
in India and also an Indian "e-zine" on the web. Arun Shroff
based in New Jersey, USA, helped him launch the site on one of the first
dedicated web servers owned and operated by an Indian company in the US.
However, this new Internet design studio based out of India was just
a little ahead of its times. The promise of this new technology sweeping
across corporate America was lost on its Indian counterparts. In the meantime,
FrontPoint Systems was incorporated to provide continued technology support
to the new startup and to many of the early clients in the Indian market.
FrontPoint Systems is, in this sense, a pioneer among Indian Internet
companies – and is very proud of it. Those early years helped us
sharpen our skills and increase our understanding of the myriad new, exciting
technologies that were emerging every day.
Five years is a long time in the Internet era and we have come a long
way indeed as an organization !
FrontPoint Systems has grown over the last five years into a global Internet
solutions company and today has offices in USA, Europe, Sri Lanka and
four offices in India.
FrontPoint Systems boasts of having serviced all the core sectors such
as Media Houses, Travel, Health, B2B, B2C, Electronics, Internet Start
Ups and many more sectors including the SME sectors.
FrontPoint Systems has been guided from the start by Arun Shroff who
has a B.Tech, from IIT, Madras with a MBA from IIM, Ahemdabad and a M.S.
in Computer Science from Penn State USA. He has more than 20 years of
experience in fields of systems design, programming, consulting, and end-
to-end solutions to large corporations in the USA including fortune 500
companies.
Today, FrontPoint Systems has become a truly concept-to completion solutions
company. We offer the entire range of services from conceptualizing to
designing, programming, hosting and maintaining the site to its global
clients.
