South Africa too is a powerhouse in BPO business. Last year TeleTech has established an office here. There is a majority of people in this country that speak English and moreover provincial and municipal government too provide full support to its BPO industry. So, it seems that Africa is ready to challenge the Asian nations that has so far solely ruled the BPO sector. Regards, Charlie This was a great news. South Africa too is a powerhouse in BPO business.

]]> Comment on What is “reasonably priced” for a not for profit? by Ricky Mak http://blog.samasource.org/what-is-reasonably-priced-for-a-not-for-profit/comment-page-1/#comment-3510 Ricky Mak Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:23:28 +0000 http://blog.samasource.org/?p=568#comment-3510 Jess, It is awesome that you're persistently asking companies for discounts on their software licenses, and you should continue doing so since you have encountered success with companies like Drop Box and Techsoup. Expanding drop box's capacity from 2 gig to 10 gigs is a big deal; I remember 2 gigs was quite restricting when I was putting up HD video files for clients at buildaroo.com. Adobe CS is quite expensive, and it's also great news that you got a discount on the software. I think its awesome that you think of the amount saved at Samasource as potential money that can be used for wire transfers and training individuals within the third world. I wish you luck in the future in your "inquiring;" I would be happy to join you in this endeavor! Ricky Jess,

It's amazing how quickly Paul picked up e-mail skills; I look forward to hearing about the results of his present efforts of acquiring a scholarship to U.S. schools.

The people Samasource deals with can be different culturally, but in a working environment, they have just the same desire and drive to succeed as we do.

If this countries are globally-competitive and are giving the same or even better service than the three leading Asian countries. I think Wall Street firms are widening the horizon of the business process outsourcing industry.
