New software development technology plus pressure of competition has led a local pioneer to form a strategic alliance to capture more opportunities and strengthen core business to compete with global IT services and prepare for service liberalisation in Asean.

The company, together with Soft Square (1999), Business Application Consulting and A-Host have formed a strategic alliance sharing human resources in order to strengthen their core business and enhance their comparative advantage to compete with foreign IT services, according to Mfec president Siriwat Vongjarukorn.

The company has already selected its top talent "F1" technical staff, pooling with other companies so that if there are any problems they can utilise common resources.

Moreover, when there are big projects that need a high volume of people they can join forces to deliver projects and win customers together, thereby avoiding competing with each other and increasing their bargaining power to compete with global IT companies that rotate resources with low-cost skill sourcing.
