oDesk about Pakistan

``Pakistan is a hot new offshore information technology destination because of a combination of favorable economic circumstances. Funds invested into building educational institutions in Pakistan (when there were not enough jobs to absorb all the graduates from those institutions) are paying off as Pakistan begins to field a modern, highly productive labor force that is the envy of more prosperous but less tech savvy nations elsewhere in the region.

Great to see how favourable oDesk speaks about Pakistan as an IT outsourcing country. Zeropoint.IT has first hand experience and agrees big time. :-) This is the right moment however to make a clear distinction between our offerings and those of oDesk. Zeropoint.IT was founded with the tagline: ``Outsourcing, done right''. Many businesses have had bad experiences with outsourcing and, more specifically, offshoring software development efforts. Zeropoint.IT carefully investigated the main reasons why offshoring goes wrong (communication, project management, work force motivation, labour turnover, etc...) and specifically focuses on these areas to make sure your outsourcing experience to Pakistan is a good one.
