The low cost of labor and living are surely blessings for Bangladesh. However, it is unwise to think that someone investing thousands of dollars for a solution, would risk it for few hundreds. Here comes about the ability to develop world class solutions. Yes, the skills of Bangladeshi developers are world class. They are competing in all sorts of contests with great remarks. More importantly the talents are very sincere and manageable. The dedication of Bangladeshi talents is generally unparallel. They are mild in nature, hardworking, considering and on top of it very passionate to represent their country. They love their country and they are passionate about their work – this is the greatest value among them. This has given them an edge over their competitors.

The political situation of the country is reasonably stable in comparison to many of its competitors. Though the Prime ministers and the Opposition leaders rarely talked with each other, the country men are very peace loving and they hate violence. This is the core reason behind the regularly growing political stability of the country. The lack of adequate infrastructure is the biggest issue in the journey to achieve the best position among the outsourcing destinations. Internet is quite expensive, black out happens quite regularly, huge traffic jam wastes a lot of man hours. The communication skill of the IT developers in the country is of another concern. However, sincerity, creativity and strong desire of the developers to work best; strongly dominates over these deficiencies.

In the last decade, governments have also put some serious efforts to build adequate infrastructure for IT and business. Bangladesh is enjoying the lowest call rate of cellular phones in the whole world. The English skills of the developers also improved a lot in the last decade. With some challenges yet to be resolved, Bangladesh is growing great to achieve its position of the Ultimate Outsourcing Destination. With more efforts and facilities from the government, more efforts from the developers to get rid of communication skill barriers, regular effort from developers to keep them updated with latest technologies, there is no way that Bangladesh can miss earning this ultimate fate.

Some recent studies have already pointed to this direction. Gartner in their reports in 2010, mentioned Bangladesh to be one of the top 30 outsourcing destinations. The also pointed the issues need to be addressed for further progress. It is good that there has been significant progress regarding the issues since then. According to BASIS, the European Union has ranked the country as among the top 20 outsourcing destinations in the world.
