I find that many Indians like setting up shop first then they try and get business second. This is what happened with medical transcription in 1999. The medical transcription boom was on so offices were rented, computers purchased, people hired and then and then and then what no customers? So from the looks of the email we get here the same mistake is being repeated again. The typical email coming to us from India is as follows: we have 30 systems and people trained to do OCR and data entry can you send us some work? I have no idea how many of these companies will make it. Maybe all of them are thriving, but if it like the old medical transcriptions days - look out. The prices will go really low as people fight to get projects and then the quality dips as these companies reduce quality because of poor cash flow or no cash flow. Only the strong survive. And I have noticed that the strong Indian companies are getting stronger. There are some really excellent companies doing data entry work and for that matter all kinds of work - I mean world class. But how does the customer know who is strong? There are some good articles on this site about selecting a vendor. Read and proceed with caution.
