Julius Simon holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from the University of Guyana and is the Technical Director and Lead Developer at Innovative Systems Inc. (INNOSYS), a software development company which he, along with three partners, own and operate.
Next month INNOSYS, which is located at 43 Croal Street, Stabroek, celebrates its second anniversary and Simon already asserts without the slightest hint of equivocation that his decision to leave his permanent job as a Systems Analyst with the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) and venture into what is often the risky domain of the private sector has paid dividends.
What prompted him to take the plunge was a chance engagement with an overseas client that was not only seeking a service provider in Guyana with the capacity to create a specialized piece of software but one that could do so at a competitive price compared to prices in the United States.
