In the Information Technology (IT) arena, education and practical training are key! Not merely college or university education, but ongoing, expansive education on a detailed, specific, disciplined level. Utilizing international standards set by ISO 2000, Oceansoft’s IT Training & Education Professionals push the envelope to enhance every aspect of their profession. And as an added bonus, the IT Training & Language Education Institution assists students in finding suitable employment after graduating. Coincidentally, due to the superior nature of education and/or training, most of those students become Oceansoft team members in various industries, disciplines, and countries.

To further improve upon Oceansoft’s competitive advantage, we will launch an extensive Business English program, which is scheduled to begin on September 1, 2007, to facilitate our outsourcing practice as well as globalize our IT education and staffing solution.

Service Solution Models
Oceansoft, through its well-educated, and highly trained team has built an extremely effective, professional training, education and staffing support system. The introduction of small class sizes, which serve to ensure a better education as students receive the one-on-one attention required for specific subject matters, and the integration of soft skills and cultural awareness programs have worked to our benefit to set us apart. Particularly, Business English classes will be taught by a qualified team of full-time instructors from native English speaking countries (US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, or New Zealand). All Oceansoft instructors are TEFL-qualified as that is the international standard.

Employing our own internal metrics for excellence, we ensure that every Oceansoft engineering and business professional, regardless of project location, is an integral part of the company by recognizing and rewarding achievement. Oceansoft's technical/business staffing service model augments a client's resources by providing qualified professionals of varying types to work at the client’s site alongside their own engineering teams. Our Technical Sourcing Center (TSC) and Business English Center adhere to a thorough and strict selection process that ensures the quality of the resource we provide. Candidates take written tests as well as undergo a thorough interview process that examines their technical, professional, linguistic (usually English), and personal skill sets. In addition, our staffing professionals provide pre-placement training for all candidates dependent upon assignment location and detail. This includes the client’s business culture, work requirements, Oceansoft's client engagement guidelines and problem solving skills. Our successful staffing practice has been built around the strong belief that the customer’s needs are best served with motivated people who identify with both Oceansoft and a client’s culture(s). We have built a practice that focuses on people rather than the things they do and have created a path for our people to succeed through supporting their efforts to better themselves and by providing the best service to our clients.

Competitive Advantage
Based solely on our superior educational approach, we have received great honors from the Jiangsu Province Government and the Information Industry Office in 2005.

To assist and aid our students who travel abroad to non-native software development enterprises, and to enhance Suzhou Japanese and offshore software outsourcing services, Oceansoft has established a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) practice that solely focuses on the outsourcing needs and/or resources of those international projects. Lastly, our new Business English curriculum will add additional positions for us as China, through Oceansoft, continues to become the most comprehensive service offering provider that is keeping its eye on the global BPO market.
