1. What are other terms for offshore processing and your work?

Remote processing, data entry, data conversion, teleworking, freelancing, temporary services, offshore outsourcing, form processing, imaging, digital conversion, data processing, transcription services, document archiving, document management, scanning, OCR, form processing, digital conversion, offshore data conversion, offshore computer services


2. Why might I need your services?

You many need help in digitizing your documents. Many businesses should have their documents, graphics, video & audiotapes, forms and photographs in digital form. This will enable them to fully utilize Intranets and the Internet.

Once documents are available digitally, then networking of information and document retrieval can make any company more effective. Image how much time you would save if you could quickly and easily find documents and images and share them within your company—anywhere.

Bill Gates in an April 1999 issue of Time magazine gave a list of his rules for businesses of the future. In rule # 5 he suggested that companies convert all paper documents to digital. (Go to links to read the complete article.)


3. Why Should I outsource when I can hire someone to do it internally?

The following is a quote from Bill Gates from an April 99 issue of Time.

"As a business manager, you need to take a hard look at your core competencies. Revisit the areas of your company that aren't directly involved in those competencies, and consider whether Web technologies can enable you to spin off those tasks. Let another company take over the management responsibilities for that work, and use modern communication technology to work closely with the people--now partners instead of employees are doing the work. In the Web work style, employees can push the freedom the Web provides to its limits."

This next quote is from Inc magazine Jan 1999.

In their book Unleashing the Killer App: Digital Strategies for Market Dominance (Harvard Business Press), Mui and co-author Larry Downes urge companies to perform internally only those activities that can’t be performed more cheaply in the open marketplace. When the marketplace in question is the Internet, where vendors with only "dot com" over there head can operate at very low costs, the savings from pushing out business tasks is considerable.


4. Why can I save money by having my work done in India?

The cost of living in India is much lower than in most Western countries. Salaries are about 20%-30% of what they are in North America and Europe. We are able to do your work at a much lower cost because our costs are much lower. It is really a win win situation.


5. How do I send my work to you?

There are three methods.

1. Email. For example you may have a text that you want assembled into a handbook. This can easily be emailed to us. We will do the work and return it as a PageMaker document or a PDF file.

2. Normal mail service- you can send your material in the mail. Unfortunately this will take 8 days to reach India. This method would be useful if you wanted to send handwritten forms for entry into the computer.

3 DHL service in India is good. We can receive packages in 4 working days. You can very easily track your parcel at www.dhl.com.
