BI
Consulting: a consulting division with the initial objective of
targeting
the banking industry. The implementation of the new International
Basel II
Accord by local banks has created a huge demand for solutions that
allow
banks to accurately quantify their risks of incurring losses. This
is a
predictive capability offered by business intelligence software;
and, for
that purpose we’ve aligned ourselves with the largest financial services
software company, SunGard, which is also among the top ten software
companies globally.
|
·
|
Information
Security (INFOSEC): in recognition of the ever growing awareness
of highly
publicized IT Security problems, NetSol has established a new business
unit.
The
unit will provide services to secure all corporate information
and their
supporting processes, systems and networks. INFOSEC is designed
to ensure
"The
right information to the right people at the right time".
NetSol
is partnering with a recognized global leader in information security
(ISS
- Internet Security Systems) to execute this business
plan.
|
·
|
Defense
Division: in light of our coordination with the Pakistan Defense
Sector,
NetSol established its very own Defense Division to cater specifically
to
the growing demands in this domain, and to deliver services with
the
professionalism and reliability that epitomizes NetSol’s CMMi Level 5
standing.
|
·
|
Enterprise
Business Solutions (EBS): due to the dynamic nature of the business
environment and the increasing demand for operational efficiency
in
today’s world, NetSol has built its own Enterprise Business Solutions
(EBS) division partnering with Oracle and DataStream. With EBS,
NetSol
gives companies the ability to manage, maintain and track assets,
plus the ability to use this data to drive decision-making in areas
such
as Maintenance, Inventory, Warranty, Up-time Reliability & Risk
Management.

Analysis
of the cost of raising capital in the U.S., Europe or emerging
markets. By
way of example only, if the cost of raising capital is high in
one market
and it may negatively affect the company’s stock performance, we may
explore options available in other markets.
