Founded in 2000, T.O.M. Technology majors in OEM business, with the U.S. being its largest market. The company saw a slight decrease in sales in 2009. Pushing forward network technology advances and user-friendly solutions, it is expecting 8-percent growth in 2010. Coming from a storage background, Tomtech's major offerings include a full line of stand-alone and PC-based H.264 DVRs, with intuitive GUIs to meet various needs.

STRATEGIES AND CORE COMPETENCE
H.264 products, including network DVRs, that allow for real-time viewing by Web browsers and 3G smartphones have Tomtech's attention right now. Web applications such as twitter and Google map are available, making penetration into the consumer market easier. "Performance may be associated with a bigger price tag, but it doesn't guarantee better sales," said Leslie Park, GM of Sales.
"In a competitive market, lower prices are a winning factor if quality and functions are similar." To explore the larger consumer market, Tomtech has added remote monitoring and other Web services to its 4-channel DVRs.

FUTURE OUTLOOK
"Although it is very difficult to meet various network and customization requirements, it is a task that we don't shy away from," Park said. The company aims to increase market share with more advanced technology. "We are incorporating customer suggestions and concepts into our products."
