ebusinessware offshore unit dedicates this note in appreciation of the Sales team’s commendable success.

ebusinessware's initial years have been filled with exciting learning experiences. Although our brand was pitched against global stalwarts, the maiden, but highly successful strategies of the sales team never floundered in firmly establishing it. Converting potential clients into real customers is not one of the easiest targets to achieve. But the elan with which ebusinessware sales team transformed each opportunity into a definite deal has been worthy of highest appreciation.

The forte of ebusinessware’s dedicated sales team has been its five-point execution plan that the sales personnel implement to achieve the desired results. The plan entails five key elements that merge into a successful, replicable, dependable and results-producing sales formula. These five key elements are: Targeting, Communicating, Sales Tools, Sales Process and Sales Training.

With “World becoming a Village” and “Businesses becoming Local”, the sales team’s arena is diverse to say the least. Where ‘Global’ has become the buzz word, the team’s versatility in selling in myriad technology domains has surely proved to be a benchmark for others to emulate. Entire ebusinessware family appreciates your dedication and hard work, and re-assures you of our delivery capacity keeping pace with your efforts.

ebusinessware’s winning sales effort is a meticulously detailed, documented, replicable set of actions, combining the sales message with the sales tools, which are practiced with precision. ebusinessware stands apart from the fairly routine and boring maintenance operations by exploring exciting new challenges, which originate from Sales Team’s hard-won efforts on the "front line".

The ebusinessware India office has witnessed a tremendous pace of growth over the last year. Each project team has effectively met all its challenges and client satisfaction has been the reward. Each time, new teams have been formed and existing teams have grown, the challenges and requirements before the HR and Administration Department were colossal. The Department has worked round the clock, on very tight schedules and has come up with resources for every requirement on every occasion. The office has been abuzz with the new team members and seniors initiating them in ongoing projects.

ebusinessware commenced Singapore operations as a technology partner to Credit Suisse First Boston in Risk Measurement & Management domain. In this position, we have helped and continue to help CSFB realize bringing Risk Measurement and Management process under the purview of firm wide, homogeneous & strategic solutions — away from the current fragmented approach.

This helped not only to improve the timelines for regulatory risk reporting, but also to bring down the costs. The success of our foray into CSFB, Singapore can be measured from the fact that Risk IT, Singapore is one of the fastest growing areas within Singapore Development and Support Center — CSFB's initiative to offshore all possible development and support work to Singapore. We plan to expand to other functional areas within CSFB as well as to other financial organizations.

Employees ‘make things happen’ in any organization. That ebusinessware knows this truth, is proved by its genuine effort to create an exciting working environment, which helps its people to develop their full potential. It encourages open communication, personal development and creates opportunities based on performance. The congenial work environment here fosters genuine employer-employee relationship by recognizing the latter’s contribution to success and growth.

There is tremendous scope not only to develop professionally, but also for personal growth and development. The regular training programmes and seminars conducted ensure all-round development of employees. Such measures encourage, motivate and integrate people at work and reinforce our belief that success is not an individual effort but a joint effort of teams.
