Uganda: Data Firm Opens

Kampala — Getting information about firms and corporations has been eased.

ADCEL, a data service firm, has opened to help the public access information about any company in the country free of chrge.

"The information can be accessed at any time of the day from anywhere.

"The customer only needs to dial the toll-free number on their cell phone and our personnel shall help them with the data they need," Timothy Ojara, the chief executive officer, explained.

"Apart acting as a cheap link between the companies and their clients, it is a platform for companies to widen their clientele base.

"This eventually enables the business world to converge into one small, interactive and accessible circle, with everyone involved," Ojara said.

    hello, i think this iniative is a good one if i can be handled with more seriouness since as i write now,i neither know the official website for green computers uganda nor their physical location. the impact of this iniative is yet to be seriously realised in uganda today. the biggest percentage of the population of uganda that will greatly benefit from this kind of iniative are university students. from my estimation about 30% only of university students have access to pcs and yet they seriously need them for coursework, research, entertainment and practice or even business.Am a student myself at Makerere university and a computer reseller at that,but pcs on the market are still outrageously expensive for an average campus student to afford.but with planning, clear business models and more funding from bodies like the IMF, i think this cost can seriously be cut to levels that are affordable for any students. Any one who might have any interest in dealing with refurbished computers for university students should contact me.

    thanks david(oquidave@gmail.com,faculty of technology, makerere university).
