Guys, ( in response to who replied ) the matters of software quality and certifications are a process. Tech parks etc will not guarantee this nor will they create a better or professional environment. This industry needs a change from the ground, and to begin that process would be a change in the way software piracy is dealt with, better facilities from the govt in terms of access to low interest loans and tax reductions to create an investment environment for many kenyans seeking to or if they already are in the industry. The general view held high is that each industry has to be competitve, innovative and adapt to be profitable/survive the markets. There seems to be a hand's off policy by the current govt that "we create the infrastructure, you build on it". This is bunch of marketing bullocks! What exactly is the govt doing in the software industry to groom it for the future, especially that we have a vision to achieve? Trying to sell empty ideas to VCs or encouraging some strange mentality that I already wrote about earlier? When we want to talk with VCs, angle or other investors, let us have a running concept that at least meets an annual turnover of some sort. Then it all makes sense to grow and urge foreign investors to partner if they wish too. If not, we find kenyan investors willing to push the industry forward. Some thots. :-)
