Featured Sponsor
int@j, is an Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry-support association focusing on advocacy, promotion and marketing, capacity building, and publications.
Over the years, int@j expanded its mandate to include ICT Enabled Services (ICTES), thus extending its support to organizations that largely base their business model on technology and communications. This strategic expansion came as a natural outcome of the ICT sector's success; following an initial period of developing core technologies, entrepreneurs seized valuable business opportunities that became gradually available, and launched enterprises that create additional jobs, generate exports, and attract investments. To name a few, Call Centers, Support Desks, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) models and other Information Technology outsourcing (ITO) are amongst those enterprises that have been integrated within int@j's circle of constituents such as Extensya , Aspire Services , eStarta and CrysTelCall.

Message from the Chair
"Your Smart Shore Destination", is about learning, applying, and setting the path. Our special interest group is a community that offers solutions that work. Our Community shows how our smart destination became one. Competitive edge is not when you have one trait that differentiates you from the rest, but is a term that shows a balance of all the factors that contribute to success; expertise, location, language, knowledge, Government, are all but a few of these factors. Our community will take us step by step to network and share success.
