Description
At the moment more and more companies are outsourcing back-office work to Africa. Some companies in India that were asked to do the back-office work even outsource that too in Africa. Slowly Africa is growing in this part business. But the back-office work needs a lot of computers, and those computers need an OS. If Ubuntu creates something to make it easier for companies to such things with Ubuntu. If they can take this opportunity and bring Ubuntu to the working computers you have large group of (to be) middle-class using Ubuntu at their work. And what people use at their work is something they also want to use at home often.
I think this can be a great opportunity for Ubuntu if the right things are done. But I'm not sure yet what those right things are. ;)
