| Without question, information technology and other
technology-related industries are a rapidly growing part of the American economy. Because
many tribes hold such competitive advantages as a willing and adaptable workforce and access
to the 8(a) and HUBZone programs, IT and technology enterprises can provide a perfect fit
between Indian Country and government or corporate institutions looking for outsource options. |
| |
| The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe offers an excellent
example of such synergy. Their technology company provides a variety of services, such as data
entry, data conversion (including text and graphics), document imaging, automated records management,
scanning, and other related IT functions, along with the promise to deliver complete and integrated
technology solutions to customers. |
| |
| It is critical that any tribal community considering
technology services as a means of economic development join forces with local vocational, trade,
and technology schools to ensure that the workforce gains the appropriate work. |
