EDC International

Being an effective player in this era depends not just in playing fast, but playing smart, playing to stay ahead of rather than in step with the market. Whether you are in a manufacturing or service industry, information technology is at the heart of making your presence felt in the new economy. IT helps you design and make better products, offer high-quality, cost-effective services, and establish and sustain your relationships with suppliers, employees and customers.

EDC Int'l's range of IT services and solutions address the technology needs of your company in a variety of vertical business segments. You define the problem, we collaborate with you to outline the solution, and implement it in a way that firmly places you in a position to harness the power of technology without losing focus on your core business.

Edc Int'l's solutions address a range of situations, including, but not limited to, the following:

Streamlining processes with IT
Every business is a blend of processes that must work in tandem for overall success. With companies getting larger and more fragmented in a distributed business space, the glue that binds them is information. Hence, information systems that underlie each process must all "talk" to each other seamlessly to achieve the business goals. EDC Int'l enables companies to effectively synchronize process and information systems to optimize the operational efficiencies.

Managing IT enabled processes
It's important for businesses to recognize and focus on their core competencies, to achieve maximum efficiency in areas that bring revenue. Companies that do not have the competency to manage IT optimally end up losing both in terms of quality of business process, time and efficiency-and in the long run, the bottom line suffers. Outsourcing IT tasks to professionals can free up the company's resources to concentrate on the main line of business. EDC Int'l helps companies focus on their respective core competencies by taking up the IT implementation aspect in which it has expertise.

Placing IT in the picture
If businesses are to take advantage of today's opportunities and meet business challenges head on, they need to make information technology an integral part of their operations. For some, this means harnessing the power of technology to design and build better products. For others, it means using information systems to improve relationships with suppliers and customers. And for all, it means using IT-driven processes to make internal operations smoother and more effective. EDC Int'l's consulting services help business see where IT fits into their scheme while our design and implementation teams take the thought into action.

Managing existing technology and integrating it with new technology
This is a challenge every company faces with time. EDC Int'l has made it easy for companies to sit back and focus on their Core Business and Strategic decisions, taking away from the customer the more routine but nonetheless important job of maintaining their legacy systems. Since EDC Int'l has gained tremendous experience over the years in maintaining legacy systems for major Fortune 500 customers, it has a road map laid out in terms of turnaround time, cost savings and resource mobilization, among the many other parameters for successful outsourcing of mission-critical applications.

Bringing people up to speed with IT
EDC Int'l's vast resource base of technically qualified and trained manpower brings, apart from savings in cost and time, the advantage of prime intellectual property. EDC Int'l also applies its process approach to free up the customer's intellectual property (i.e., people) for better tasks. This not only adds value to the customer but also helps retain the volatile human resource with the incentive of working on better technologies and bringing them up to speed with new technologies affecting the customer's industry.

Integrating process and technology
We as a Company believe that in order to build a sustainable technology infrastructure, you need to have a strong process framework in place. EDC Int'l embraced the quality movement well ahead of its time, putting in place well-defined processes, which help introduce and implement new technology initiatives within an organization in a less disruptive manner. Our own enterprise-wide SEI-CMM level 5 rating, and our assessment at ISO9001-2000 under the Tick-IT scheme are testimonials to our commitment to quality. Our ongoing effort is to bring our experience with creating process excellence to our customers.

Optimizing IT resources
EDC Int'l has always endeavored to optimize the technology operations of the customer, be it cost savings, qualitative deliverables on time, or quick response in production & application support, in an effort to allow Customers and their technology teams to focus on more critical and value-adding technology tasks. This also allows the customer more time and space to consider the implications of technology adoption on his business, and his relationship with the customer, supplier, and employee. In other words, the customer gains the time and energy to focus on critical and core strategic and tactical decisions while EDC Int'l handles the operational management of the technology.

Creating better business value
While EDC Int'l takes on the operational responsibility for managing the applications, we help the customer save cost and increase the time to market, with a 24-hour cycle time in addressing the project or product requirements. In addition, we also address different dimensions of the customer's problems by applying our vast experience of having worked in multiple projects across industries and technologies in a variety of business cultures. We are therefore able to bring customers a fresh perspective on existing problems, streamlining the overall business process in the course of our engagement to enhance business value for the customer.

Enabling e-commerce
To keep up in an increasingly competitive and fast changing business landscape, companies are having to make their services and products available to customers anytime and anywhere, giving customers the option to access services and pay in a variety of ways. From creating a presence for yourself in cyberspace, to making your business yield results in the online economy, a number of activities come into play, from choosing software and hardware to training personnel to establishing fool-proof processes. EDC Int'l, in partnership with a number of global leaders in e-commerce technologies, offers solutions that span this spectrum of needs.

EDC Int'l Services and Solutions that can help you address these needs
EDC Int'l, an end-to-end IT solutions company, has a range of services across various domains like insurance, banking, finance, healthcare, telecom, energy & utilities and many others. Over the years we have developed a unique model of addressing customer requirements by building competencies vertically and horizontally. For our customers, this means that they can take advantage of a single point solution for all their business technology requirements from a vendor who understands their business and where technology fits into it. The vertical competency we have built in EDC Int'l has been the result of our long engagements with customers. We felt an important need to speak the customer's language, and with this concern was born the idea of building domain competency in a number of identified business areas. At the same time, rapid changes in information technology, which forms EDC Int'l's core strength, make it necessary for us to constantly monitor and update our own technological competence. Our vertical and horizontal business units independently and in collaboration bring to the customer the technology solution that fits best, and works best.
