Building computer systems in developing nations includes challenges unknown to IT teams in developed countries. The challenges we face include:
- Power outages and fluctuations
- Internet outages and lower bandwidth
- Difficulty of finding, training, and retaining quality resources
- Needing to support many languages (frequently requiring non-standard fonts)
- Significant requirements mismatch with existing Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) systems.
Tracks :
