Working from client site – Part 2

lets continue…

 Well that was all about the how i reached and how i managed to get a car.

When you work directly with client there are so many things you have to keep in mind[Its all bout my view and my experience.]

1. Ofcource, language barrier.- As mentioned being from India my slang has got a MTI(Mother tough influence) and i found that when I try to speak  fast they end up understanding nothing.  So speak clearly and maintain a level of volume and no blah blah…..

 2. Never try to introduce your own changes/ process- I started working with my client where they have their own IS department which runs without any process. Only process they follow is they don’t give administrative access to the system allocated to you[Come on man.. how i will get my messenger and winamp installed ].

One issue with me was being brought up technically in an enviorment where there is a process for everything, documentation for everything. And being a local admin access to my machines I was enjoying the power of computing .

3. People related- Well this is the main and important one. Unfortunately or fortunately I work in a company where 50% are more than 45 years old.  They are never ready to accept changes, No complaints they are good at their work. But change is inevitable, No process, nothing.. they are very dedicated. They will reach office by 7.30 and will go home by 4 pm and they always completes their work. Again no complaints. But… they have draw-ed their boundaries.. no one goes in or that never expands or he will never come out.

4. Job security- When they see an Indian coming as consultant, the first thought is come on man we are going to loose our jobs, Really , then they make that boundary marking clear and always make sure that they have a BIG dependency so that no body fires them. Well, I want make sure that , we are not hear to take you jobs , you management thinks and knows that we are cheap  labour. Hmmm , but I don’t think this will continue like this, Rupee dollar distance is getting decreased. Don’t know god or bad for us.

Guys there are so many stuffs to write , but… my hours are billed for doing work not for blogging.

 Look out for some new topics.
