projects are being outsourced to India,
TechShack was a good decision for us
mainly due to their competitive pricing. We
are able to reduce our development cost by
over 40%, with larger savings expected in

“I believe that the availability of such a
database will surely help our organization
to document all our activities more
accurately. Although we have been
functioning as a counseling organization for
last nine years, the database software
prepared by TechShack is the first of its
kind to be used by our organization.”
