RazorManagement provides value added services such as: strategy ▪ design ▪ archicture ▪ specification ▪ project management ▪ implementation www.razorskills.com The market potential Kevin Schwartz, Senior vice president E5 Systems Inc. asked: ''Will one-quarter of IT jobs be offshore in six years? I'd say it's possible,'' says Schwartz. ''Is it probable? At today's clip, I'd say yes. I lean that way because China is in its infancy for It outsourcing, so more jobs will move there. And India continues to be a huge player. We're looking at a giant pool of qualified IT people... you're not giving up anything for that lower price.''

RazorManagement provides value added services such as: strategy ▪ design ▪ archicture ▪ specification ▪ project management ▪ implementation www.razorskills.com The market threats Labor market movement and technical trade restrictions: Unions and very strong political influencers fight hard to close the hole of opportunity – to avoid foreigners to be imported to do jobs at 1/10 of the cost resulting in major local unemployment. The EC markets are extremely conservative and strongly restricted in labor market politics. A threatening unemployment will threaten the wealth of the West.

RazorManagement provides value added services such as: strategy ▪ design ▪ archicture ▪ specification ▪ project management ▪ implementation www.razorskills.com The Vision I imagine... The triumphant rise of a professional* services company, circa 2005: It's an "organization" of 300 people. Six are permanent staff… the CEO, the CFO, the Exec VP of Alliances, and three Super Project coordinators. The other 294 are independent contractors. One contractor is 19 years old, and on his first gig with the company. Another is 42, and making her 9th appearance. The company has no "headquarters." Its people, starting with the six "permanent" employees, are all m-powered (wireless, mobile) to the n th degree. Tom Peters in “Re-imagine” 2003
