Eastern Software System has won a contract from South Africa based FM Media to develop a comprehensive social networking site named Flavafrika on the lines of Face book, Orkut and MySpace.
Anil Bakht, Managing Director, Eastern Software Systems, said, "Social networking is the in thing on the net today with many sites attracting million of users from across the world. Africa, like the rest of the world, has not remained untouched by this revolutionary concept. African people are increasingly feeling an urgent need for such a niche site for themselves wherein they can connect to each other more effectively."
Flavarika will aim to bring the African people closer to each other by encouraging them to communicate amongst themselves and also with their relatives and acquaintances worldwide through blogs, forums, chat, instant messaging amongst many other features. It will also showcase the special and wonderful M.A.D.E. [Music, Arts, Dance and Edutainment] cultures of the African community.
This contract from FM Media further reemphasizes ESS position in the customised web solutions domain as it was awarded to ESS in the face of stiff competition from global web development companies. FM Media evaluated several proposals including those from the large-sized web solution providers and selected ESS as the preferred service provider after a careful scrutiny of its capabilities, track record and delivery capabilities.
