The Director-General, National Information Technology
\nDevelopment Agency (NITDA), Prof. Cleopas Angaye, on Monday advised Information
\nTechnology outsourcing providers to build their services on trust and
\ncredibility.<\/p>\n
Angaye, who was represented by Dr Ashiru Daura, Director of
\nSoftware and Outsourcing, NITDA, gave the advice in Lagos at the First West
\nAfrica IT Outsourcing Conference and Exhibition.<\/p>\n
Angaye said that building services on trust and credibility
\nwould make IT outsourcing contribute the desired quota to the country\u2019s Gross
\nDomestic Product (GDP).<\/p>\n
He said India controlled 50 per cent of the world\u2019s
\noutsourcing market and attributed the country\u2019s success to outsourcing
\nproviders building their services on trust and credibility.<\/p>\n
The director-general said that for Nigeria to be successful
\nlike India in outsourcing services, it must address the problem of
\ninfrastructure that would boost IT services.<\/p>\n
He said outsourcing providers needed to address the
\nchallenge of cost, which was the major reason why most businesses did not
\noutsource IT services.<\/p>\n
He said that the conference was designed to link businesses
\nwith service providers involved in IT outsourcing and promote innovations in
\nmany areas of information technology.<\/p>\n
\u2018\u2019Ultimately, the exhibition will provide the platform for
\nexhibitors and visitors to share the latest developments in IT outsourcing,\u2019\u2019
\nAngaye said.<\/p>\n
He said that NITDA was keen about outsourcing, not only
\nwithin Nigeria but across Africa.<\/p>\n
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that NITDA in July
\ninaugurated an umbrella body called Nigeria Association of Information
\nTechnology Enabled Outsourcing Companies (NAITECOM) to coordinate the IT
\noutsourcing sector of the economy.<\/p>\n
Angaye said that NAITECOM was necessary for the effective
\nfacilitation of advocate efforts at advancing the growth of outsourcing
\nbusiness in Nigeria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
