 There is a bright prospect for Bangladesh in the software industry. By virtue of this flourishing
 industry, the country to is forwarding to an e-commerce-based economy, keeping pace with
 the trends in today’s world. Thousands of unemployed youths are getting the opportunity to
 work both at home and abroad. “Software is now such an industry where self-employment is
 possible after necessary training. This is why employment is rapidly expanding in this industry,”
 According to a recent joint research by Bangladesh Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) and Japan
 International Cooperation Agency (JAICA), the software is a very promising export item in
 Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, the Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services
 (BASIS) is a leading IT organization it has been working since 1997 for its development. About
 the present state of Bangladesh’s software industry, BASIS program manager “At present, there
 are over 4,500 registered software companies in the country where about 5,000 professionals
are
 working.
 The demand for Bangladeshi software has increased significantly. A huge quantity of
quality
 software is being produced in the country. The demand for software in the local market
is worth
 over Tk 3.0 billion (300 cores). About the performance of BASIS, Shams says his
organization

 of Computer Software from Bangladesh: Problems and Prospects’ says there are many positive
aspects of Bangladesh’s software. Every year, a large number of students are receiving
 degrees and training on computer-related subjects from different government and private
universities. Many Bangladeshi students are also studying abroad. Besides, IT-educated manpower
 is available in Bangladesh at a much lower cost than those of the developed countries and even
 neighboring India. There are also many problems in the software industry of the country
 This is the main problem. Besides, lack of information is another aspect.
 For instance, many people with the highest degrees in Computer Science don’t even
know that

professionally skilled software developers.”
