EXIMSOFT INTERNATIONAL IS ON THE MOVE IN IT OUTSOURCING  

Eximsoft International is a start-up company based in Cary, North Carolina. Within its life of 15 months, Eximsoft is transforming IT outsourcing paradigm to its full benefits taking advantage of this economic downturn. 'Best in class has two key aspects: best in quality and best in cost' says Amalendu Chatterjee, Cofounder and VP technology of the company. The quality comes from the insight, experience and talent of Mr. Diju Raha, EximSoft's CEO who built up the foundation of Nortel's 4,000 person overseas software workforce - now cited by Fortune magazine as a prominent example of the power of global IT. He has also been featured as late as March 12, 2001 in Ottawa Citizen Technology Section (a Canadian daily) as the jump-starter of Indian sub-continent's tech industry.  

Using a core strategy of matching global talent to the particular needs of an individual division or firm, Eximsoft lnternational adds value by tailoring the global work force to your particular situation. This unique model assures a combination of cost, quality and speed that is unsurpassed in the industry. How good is EximSoft's quality? After detailed study and multiple bids, Entrust, an emerging leader in the e-security business, chose Eximsoft as it's offshore IT partner. As part of this partnership, Eximsoft will be helping Entrust to develop the most secured e-commerce technology called Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). 'Nowhere are the rigors of programming and quality control more essential than the e-security sector' says Hans Downer, Sr. VP of Global Professional Services at Entrust Technologies. "Our Director in charge of this project had significant experience dealing with offshore vendors while he was employed at Nortel. He felt comfortable that EximSoft's experience, access to uniquely skilled resources, and pricing philosophy would provide optimal results for Entrust Technologies.  

In December 2000, Entrust Technologies signed an agreement to port their products to a new Unix platform. The first delivery, due a short four months after contract signing, is the Entrust Tool Kits (API's). The full product port will be completed five months later in September 2001. To meet this aggressive schedule, Entrust needed additional skilled professionals to complement experienced in house engineers. The Entrust management team decided to utilize EximSoft. Although not as well known as other large Indian contracting companies, EximSoft offered quality people at an attractive price. The team's first deliverable, which was successfully completed, was a demo of two toolkits in mid-February.  

Part of the project's success can be attributed to EximSoft, whose people were brought to Entrust's Ottawa office for several reasons:

• Learning the techniques necessary to ensure that software quality meets Entrust standards.

• Developing a network of contacts across all Entrust to aid in the successful execution of the project.

• Training team members on the product so they may transfer the Knowledge to the Eximsoft team members in Bangalore.

• Jointly developing a secure Virtual Private Network between the office in Bangalore and the R&D
  facilities in North America.

The upfront investment in training and infrastructure will help support the longer term goal of implementing an R & D facility in Bangalore, India.  

Presently, the Bangalore team is being extended to include staff with a strong knowledge of the Unix kernel and LDAP directories. People with excellent technical, leadership and decision-making skills were required to fill these roles. EximSoft has been very proactive in meeting Entrust's objectives and initial progress has left the Entrust management team with a very positive view of EximSoft's abilities to support the long-term requirements of Entrust Technologies.  

Eximsoft is also working with Biosignia Inc., a unique and innovative evidenced based technology for predicting and managing Chronic Degenerative DiseasesBioSignia is a healthcare information technology company founded to provide credible, evidence-based medical information that can accurately identify individuals trending toward disease, at a very early stage, so that measures can be implemented to prevent disease onset or delay disease progression. This role has been developed in an attempt to increase the quality of health while at the same time reduce the costs of health care. And in the words of one triangle business, Eximsoft "has the lowest cost I've found."  

During this slowdown of US economy, IT outsourcing really pays off and you can take full advantage of it. You may wonder how it works. During slowdown, budget is cut down but not the work. So, outsourcing part of software development work is an ideal solution to them. You can reduce cost by labor arbitrage. You can extend working hours given there is 12 hours time difference between India and USA. You can also develop India based resources on demand to support your product/services worldwide. Eximsoft has a vision to move fro~ the traditional outsourcing paradigm to the total broadband era perspective and prosperity, including a highly scalable outsourcing model in conjunction with Accert.
