1. iCST has access to over 1000 software engineers. This means you can have engineers on demand for your project, but not on your payroll until you need them. You can get help from these engineers on an as-needed basis. In July 1999, Richard Paradis of the Maine Bureau of Human Resources wanted to migrate to a new client server system. He was not sure whether his department could pass the Y2K test and function normally. When we completed the project successfully and within the projected time, he said "God sent iCST."

2. One benefit of working with iCST is the speed with which we can execute your project. iCST has the resources to provide you with round-the-clock production. While the competition is resting at night, iCST is moving your work forward. Best of all, our round-the-clock capabilities come at no extra charge and actually cost less than work performed during regular hours.

3. iCST works with 300 agencies across the country. Typically we can hire consultants within a two- to three-week period. By finding the right resources, you will have peace of mind. Liberty Mutual Insurance Company hired three iCST programmers in 1998 for a six-month contract. They extended the contract three times because they thought the programmers were very productive. Instead of screening consultants, you can spend your time on other commitments.

4. iCST is a global company with a local development center. We provide the facilities for all of our developers. The savings you will realize in equipment and facilities can be used for other purposes. Maine Science and Technology Foundation outsourced their Internet clearing house project to us. We were able to complete the project in our local development center and save them money in the process.

5. iCST is a small growing company and we are quick to respond to your needs. iCST has an in-house Project Leader who facilitates each project. The Project Leader will ensure that your project is completed successfully -- on time -- and within your budget.

6. The United States and India are first and second in software development, respectively. The United States outsourced several million dollars worth of projects to India in 1999. India has a huge pool of talented software engineers to whom we have unlimited access.
