Eagle Creek’s Dakota Model Project Centers were (and continue to be) developed in what is a model for private business and governmental collaboration. The levels of co-operation between Eagle Creek and City, State, Federal Authorities in the Pierre South Dakota, Valley City, and North Dakota project centers has been unprecedented. Eagle Creek continues to work closely with these organizations as both Project Centers evolve. Read what the Governors and Senators of both North and South Dakota are saying about Eagle Creeks unique approach….. “As you know so well, in this era of global economic competition, cost considerations tempt many companies to send jobs overseas. I believe that if we are to retain such jobs in the US, and grow more of them in the future, we need to do more than appeal to business leader's sense of patriotism - we must also remind those leaders that companies like yours can deliver the services they need at competitive prices, and with superior performance.” It was great to see the success your company has experienced in North Dakota, and it reinforced the tremendous opportunity North Dakota and the United States have as an alternative to offshore outsourcing. Eagle Creek understands that it’s more than simply saying we’re going to go offshore. What they said was, ‘we’re committed to quality’. In South Dakota and the upper Midwest, people would say it’s a matter of culture. It’s a matter of recognizing you finish the work when you start it. It’s a matter of saying you dot your i’s and you cross your t’s…you’re not sloppy in your work. Eagle Creek’s growth is a great example of the exciting things going on in North Dakota. With affordable energy costs, a skilled workforce and aggressive investments in higher education and technology, our state is continuing to create a positive business climate that allows companies like Eagle Creek Software Services to succeed. |
