Thanks to Philip Peters and Stéphane Bruno for their analyses on Offshore IT business in the Caribbean in the CIVIC mailing list. Very usefull.
We need jobs to keep the young people in the region.
I had the experience of Dominica' off shore services like Clear Harbour with 300 workers and the 2 critical points were electricity cost and human ressources - not in term of education , but more in term of work attitude from youngsters who have really small working experience in a country with a hight level of unemployement.
I did work for e-services in St Lucia, and dealed a little bit with the HR problems.
And Stephane, by the way, Digicel's hub for french speaking caribbean (close to one million Martinique and Guadeloupe) is in Haiti !
I agree - the niche markets possibilities are tremendous... but we need to create offshore not based on low level HR but hight level guys for smaller market. Because Asia will always be cheaper.

Bonjour tous,
Un petit mot pour dire que le Call Center de digicel a été transféré de Martinique à Haiti pour cause de grêve du sous traitant.
En effet Digicel n'embauchait pas les salariés, mais avait un contrat de prestation de services.
C'était une petite précision.
Armelle Bravo pour la qualité du blog
Les états d'Europe veulent fermer les places off shore de la petite caraïbe.
Ne serait-ce pas un droit d'ingérence dans les économies et les politiques législatives des Etats indépendants ?
