Domestic business opportunities 

 
India offers unique opportunities to service oriented businesses based in the West requiring high quality, English speaking manpower. In February 1997 at the Davos summit Bill Gates spoke of India as the "Software super power of the future" and of Indian software engineers as being "the best in the world".

Many Fortune 1000 companies have already realized this and 1996 saw a large number of joint ventures of these Corporations with Indian partners. These opportunities are available not only to the giant Companies but also to (itals)small and medium sized outfits (italics). The Indian connection can offer a huge competitive advantage not only for computer software development but whenever manpower costs are significant.If you are operating in one of the business listed below you will find it profitable to contact us:

  • Programming services in Oracle, Powerbuilder and other database engines.

  • Webpage Design and HTML services.

  • Geographic Information Systems, Map digitization, Raster VectorConversion

  • Preparing training materials and help manuals on CD ROM.

  • Bulk data processing such as conversion of handwritten documents to ASCII.

  • Website Maintenance & Updating Services.

    Costs could be as low as US $500 per month and that includes all overheads including Social Security benefits, medical insurance, vacation and training. You get not just an individual but a supervised employee who is part of an organised setup that knows your business.

    For specialized jobs such as database programming costs will be about 50% of US rates.

    An Example: Ms X has a web consulting business. She earns about $4000 per month. She has no assistants and does everything herself.She feels it would cut into her net profit if she were to hire outside help. She puts in a 12 hour workday. Ms Y has visited our website and decided to explore the global opportunities available. She has a similar turnover as Ms X but has decided to set aside $500 per month towards a personal assistant. Initially she isunsure how useful her remote secretary will be. But as time goes on she finds herself dumping more and more of her time consuming work on her assistant. She realizes that moving files between computers in the same town is no different from communicating half way across the planet. Except for one thing. Due to the time zone difference she can delegate a task at 8 p.m. US time on Monday and have her work back on her desk (or disk) at 8 a.m. Tuesday ! She has more time to promote herself and to concentrate on critical tasks. She finds that she can take more business while getting extra time to relax !

    You don't have to be a Microsoft to take advantage of global networks - though it helps to know you will be in good company. For the last two years Microsoft has had three hundred software specialists from the South Indian City of Bangalore fielding wordwide queries on the whole range of Microsoft products.

    All you need is to use existing networks to cut down your costs by as much as 50%. Double yourturnover without increasing your workforce. Even if you have a micro, two-person outfit we have an opportunity lined up for your Company. Contact us via email to: (itals) ci530@freenet.toronto.on.ca(itals) or by writing to: D'Cunha & Associates, 34 Scibberas, Unionville, Markham, Ontario L3R2J3, CANADA
