Brilliant idea...I once told guys in TZ that we can segment our activities in such a way that we can get those who can outsource projects,those who can break deals,just consultants,developers of various products, analysts ,etc..who in one way or another can create a platform that would be self sufficient in a sense that there would be so many sub,outsource etc. But guys out there thinks that they can list everything and can all of the in whatever quality to the demise of the industry.Now you find that guys want to do everything,even a cheap project in remote area where support would never materialize..unless they hire techies to be located in every county. Well, cannibalism would real be a serious issue before ,groups can find right guys.In Kenya I think guyz should learn the harder way how,to direct clients to his fellows for services they cant offer,and those fellow should learn how to pay back either thru commissioning or thru referring back clients . I normally find it very funny in Nairobi when someone is insisting to give specs so that he can go to like 10th street,just pic one thing that would not necessarily be your last choice.Most of the time guys stubble with mentality when I want to see the available collections.You know sometime one needs to know the latest,the most powerful ,and decide for the optimum combination. I wonder why these guys cant establish a referral system that could make them relax a little bit.Like picking up commission later, or contributing to a symbiotic referral around just like drivers can help out traffic flow,by let other pass -- Regards, Nicholas Peter.* ..............

Thanks alot all to those who have shown interest in creating the first of a kind Professional IT Associates model. With guys like Steve working in such an environ, l hope to join with the like minded and create one thats suites the local market. The idea for those who were not with us is establishing a common office with different IT specialists, under the same clerical and administrative staff. You can write me on jmkmutuma(a)gmail.com or intellisyskenya(a)gmail.com and we can set up a meeting to draw a work plan. Regards. James - ISL.
