Ed Cyprian<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n A DECADE ago, US-based Ghanaian IT developer, Ed Cyprian, had an ingenious idea that is cooking up a storm in the Ghanaian and African tech climate, and serving it to the world\u2019s biggest companies.<\/p>\n He was visiting Ghana on holiday and a client needed a development upgrade done. Not an impossible task. However, based on the turnaround time required by the client and the quoted budget, it would be nearly impossible to get his US-based team to drop other projects and focus on this request.<\/p>\n Thus, he needed a team he could guide to execute locally and in record time too.<\/p>\n He was introduced to a group of budding young Ghanaian software developers who were more than eager to bring their tech savvy to bear on the project.<\/p>\n Suffice it to say, the collaboration was a resounding success.\u00a0 Well executed and right on time with a happy client to boost. And it was then that he had his light bulb moment.<\/p>\n Why not build on this team of skilled Ghanaian software developers and techies who could churn out work in record time; equip them with all the tools and resources his US-based team has at their disposal; and utilise them as an offshore team for his US-based clients?<\/p>\n That idea birthed BEMDDOPS, an innovative technology solution enterprise that 10 years on, has provided offshore software development services to 100+ clients across the globe and counting.<\/p>\n Headquartered in Dallas, Texas \u2013 USA, with the African headquarters based in Accra, BEMDDOPS now has a series of innovation labs and satellite offices across the continent; as well as training and working with young ambitious African tech minds to provide technological solutions and services. These include infrastructure, applications, engineering, and business processes.<\/p>\n The success of BEMDDOPS is indicative of Africa\u2019s largely untapped resource potential; and what can be achieved when the young African is equipped with the right tools and training to develop. The potential is limitless.<\/p>\n Today, Africa is the youngest continent in the world, with a median age of about 19 years. For comparison, the median ages in Asia, North America, and Europe are 32, 39, and 42 years, respectively.<\/p>\n According to the World Bank, around 12 million African youth enter the job market each year.<\/p>\n Building on their successes over the last decade; BEMDDOPS is dedicated to changing the narrative of African dependence on foreign resources to develop. Global businesses can now also rely on skilled African resources to fast-track execution and business growth.<\/p>\n Business process off-shoring to Africa is an efficient and cost-effective endeavor for every global company.<\/p>\n The obvious talent pool aside; Africa costs less and pays less, making it an ideal offshore outsourcing destination for affordable resources and human capital.<\/p>\n The cost of living in Africa is relatively lower than in popular off-shoring hubs like India, Poland, Mexico, and China.<\/p>\n A global organization can afford to spend less in Africa to get the same or even higher output as their onshore setup.<\/p>\n To top it off; time zones in Africa are conveniently positioned for engaging global clients and coordinating business activities in real-time. It also helps ensure round-the-clock production or service delivery.<\/p>\n In short by off-shoring to African nations, global businesses can harness a large pool of working-age people who are agile, motivated, tech-savvy, and well-trained; at a lower cost; who work on their time to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n BEMDDOPS is leading the way in this African tech renaissance that the world is fast taking notice of, and we are here for it.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ed Cyprian \u00a0 A DECADE ago, US-based Ghanaian IT developer, Ed Cyprian, had an ingenious idea that is cooking up a storm in the Ghanaian and African tech climate, and serving it to the world\u2019s biggest companies.
