Cayman Enterprise City, a Technology-based Special Economic Zone, Launches in the Cayman Islands

George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (PRWEB) March 07, 2012

Cayman Enterprise City (CEC), the first technology-based Special Economic Zone of its kind in the Caribbean region, is now open for business and welcoming its first clients. The official launch of the SEZ was observed at a celebration attended by His Excellency the Governor of the Cayman Islands Mr. Duncan Taylor, Cayman Islands Premier, the Honorable McKeeva Bush, CEC executives and prominent business and community leaders. In January 2011 the Premier signed a Memorandum of Understanding allowing the CEC Development company exclusive rights to develop and operate a special economic zone, intended to attract internet, technology, commodities and derivatives, media, and biotechnology companies from around the world.

Speaking at the launch event Premier Bush commented on the expedited process that resulted in the timely launch. “It is an incredible accomplishment when we consider how much the elected government, the civil service and Cayman Enterprise City have achieved together in 12 short months to make this project a reality,” he said. The Premier added that the Special Economic Zones Law was passed by the Legislative Assembly in September 2011 and the Special Economic Zone Authority was established shortly after that. The Authority held its first meeting in December and is now licensing the first zone companies.

“The cooperation and pro-business attitude of the Cayman Islands government and the civil service has been outstanding,” noted Cayman Enterprise City CEO Jason Blick. “They truly understand the positive effect the zone will have on Cayman, and their support has been incredible.”

Cayman Enterprise City is expected to develop into the third pillar of the Cayman economy, alongside financial services and tourism, by attracting new technology based industries and global brands into establishing a physical presence in the Cayman Islands. A February Moody’s Investors Service report stated that CEC is an “important and credit positive diversification opportunity for this small island economy.” Around the globe SEZs have consistently boosted local economies, not only through direct foreign investment, but also by creating highly skilled jobs within the zone and generating work outside the zone in support sectors including construction, services and supply services.

The unique concessions offered through Cayman Enterprise City place it in the top 1% of all SEZs in the world and CEC’s guaranteed 10-day, fast-track set up of operations makes it easy for companies to quickly establish an office in Cayman’s tax-neutral jurisdiction. Companies in the zone are exempt from work permits and import duties. Some may be able to cut operational costs in half, and because all transactions are done from Cayman’s tax-neutral jurisdiction, companies are also guaranteed protection of intellectual property. Client businesses of Cayman Enterprise City also enjoy 100% foreign ownership;100% exemption from Income Tax, Corporate Tax and Capital Gains Tax for 50 years.

About Cayman Enterprise City

Cayman Enterprise City is a Special Economic Zone being developed in a state-of-the-art campus of innovative and sustainable architecture in Grand Cayman, designed to complement and respect the local environment. It will include: Cayman Internet & Technology Park, Cayman Biotech Park, Cayman Media Park, Cayman Global Commodities & Derivatives Park, Cayman Outsourcing Park and Cayman International Academic Park. There will be no manufacturing or industrial businesses within the zone. International businesses establishing within the zone will not be permitted to trade in Cayman outside of the zone so they cannot compete with local businesses.

Local Orange County California Computer Company Masley And Associates Gives Professional Advice On How To Choose A Computer Repair Company

Fountain Valley, CA (PRWEB) October 30, 2010

People frequently ask about the difference between the average high school “geek” that most computer consulting companies use and the professional IT person that Masley And Associates Computer Repair Orange County (http://masleyassociates.com) employs.

While it is true there are some very basic PC issues which both types of IT people can easily fix, there is a vast difference when it comes to advanced network support and more complex issues.

Masley And Associates Computer Repair Orange County uses only the top Network Engineers and Network Administrators and are able to offer them for the same low cost as a company employing less qualified personnel. Masley and Associates know how to find and retain the top IT personnel because they are highly qualified themselves.

Most other computer consulting companies are owned and run by non-technical people with sales, marketing or business backgrounds while Masley And Associates Computer Repair Orange County(http://masleyassociates.com) is owned by a network engineer and administrator with multiple certifications and sixteen years hands-on experience in the field.

Masley And Associates has sixteen years of experience in IT, Management and multiple Certifications in networking including Microsoft, Cisco and Novell – CNE, CNA, MCSE, CCIE. They have accredited, professional, certified computer technicians on staff ready to serve Orange County. Attached is what a qualified IT Manager, Network Engineer, Network Administrator resume looks like. There are certifications, real world experience and wide exposure to many different technologies.

What this means to a Masley and Associates client is greater efficiency. While it would be no problem to use a high school “geek” to add memory to a home computer, most businesses would not want a high school “geek” working on their business network. Unfortunately, sometimes that is exactly what happens.

So how does an unknowing business find true IT professionals who are competent and capable of working on their systems and network?

1. Ask exactly which ceritifications they have and make sure they are certified in the “Top Three” – Microsoft, Novell and Cisco(they take years of study and practice to obtain) Most computer consulting companies find high school “geeks” willing to work for $ 20 per hour or less, get them their A+ certification(a one-day, basic PC knowledge test) and charge more than $ 75 per hour for them! The truth is most other computer consulting companies are only qualified to replace memory or adapter cards in a PC.

2. Ask for references

3. Ask for a guarantee

4. Check BBBcom The Better Business Bureau for the company’s rating

5. Ask how long they have been working in the IT industry and a description of some of the larger, more complex projects they have worked on.

The bottom line is that a business’s network is critical to that business and belongs in the hands of the professionals in order to save time, money and effort. Masley and Associates Computer Repair Orange County (http://masleyassociates.com) are the professionals. Think of them as an outsourced IT department.
