Decay in Latin America and Caribbean
economic disasters are natural:
currency collapses (IT resources sold in dollars), buy equipment but cannot support it
low density of IT and hi-tech:
less support, little competition, higher costs (for first-world companies)
dependence on first-world for IT, hi-tech
What to do? think "sustainable"
- solutions small but redundant (use more labor?)
- work within region - many problems shared, first-response, amortize costs, negotiate volume
- develop stakeholders for IT, develop local human resources
