Offshore Outsourcing blossoming in Ghana

The Ministry of Communications with the support of the World Bank carried out a study last year to establish Ghana's idealness for Business Process Outsourcing and Information Communication Technology (ICT) enabled services in the country.

Even before the study’s final report was made public, a major US based BPO operator has began operations in Ghana with an initial staff of 25 employees. International Outsourcing Service with plants in Mexico, Slovakia, India, France and Germany is set to make a mark in the $300 billion outsourcing market in sub-Saharan Africa. The company with the assistance of a Ghanaian resident in the United States started pilot operations in December 2006 under the name Novel Solutions, Ltd. This was after it conducted its own private study of the BPO market in Ghana. read

Great post. Ghana has a very unique position since it is the only west African country with a fiber backbone. Plus there have been two or three major web and IT development initiatives there that really took off and made their way into the main stream.

So Ghana, Mauritius, Kenya, and South Africa, and possibly the newcomer Rwanda are all vying for Africa's top spot in Outsourcing...which do you think has the biggest advantage right now?

Oh, also there is a related post on my blog, but it's about Kenya. If you are able to I'd love to get your feedback.
BPO Kenya

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Indeed a great post.

An offshore assistant provides virtual assistance service to his clients both to small business concerns and large corporations. He works for a concern which is outside his country.
A Virtual Assistant provides administrative assistance services which include BPO services, typing work, mailing service, organizing meetings, preparing invoice, planning events, etc. He can do any work for you.
You can gain advantage by working with a Virtual Assistance. A Virtual Assistant is at all times available at your service whenever desired. He can very well aid you with any business activity. So you need not hire a person and pay him high salary and other benefits. You need not hire extra staff to complete your project works. You only need to pay for the task that is outsourced.

We have outsourced our service to VServe Solution (www.vservesolution.com) and Diksha research from India which are best at its service and I would gladly recommend these outsourcing companies. The service provided by the company is cost effective and reliable and they make sure to complete the project on time. They provide absolute service to their clients by constantly contacting the clients to get up-to-date information from them. You can outsource any service to these companies and see that the job is done with perfection and dedication.
