Kolkata: Busy Infotech, in association with Nasscom Foundation, will soon be offering Busy software, for free to registered Nasscom NGOs and NPOs across the country under its BiG Tech program. Busy Infotech will become the the fourth donor after Microsoft, Eagle Net and Bytes of Learning, who are already associated with the BiG Tech program.

Rufina Fernandes, CEO, Nasscom Foundation said, “After we received requests from NGOs and NPOs across the country for an accounting software to manage their funds, we approached Busy Infotech and they came up with this inventory.”

“The Busy software can help NGOs in ensuring better funds accountability, efficient management systems and ultimately greater on-the-ground impact. Additionally, NGOs can leverage Busy software for training rural youth and creating opportunities for those who cannot afford the expensive accounting courses currently being offered in private institutes,” Fernandes added.

Dinesh Kumar Gupta, MD, Busy Infotech, said, “Partnering with the social program of Nasscom Foundation is indeed a matter of pride for a company like Busy Infotech. As a corporate donor to the program, we are privileged to have the opportunity to fulfill our social responsibilities by offering Busy software to the less fortunate, who will immensely benefit from it.”

The company already has over 150 channel partners and resellers across the country and is present in more than 20 countries world-wide. Operating on the platform of direct distribution, the company is solely concentrating on developing itself on the software front and concentrate on the the SMB sector.

However, Gupta suggested that considering the vast opportunities and requirements in the corporate segment, Busy Infotech may look into offering ERP solutions later. Also, the company is on the move to upgrade the software to version 3.6 on its course of improvisation.

Speaking on the utility of Busy and its training needs, Gupta emphasized, “The alternatives for accounting packages that are available come at a higher cost and the learning curve for other accounting software is also steep as it requires professional or vocational courses. However, in case of Busy, basic knowledge about software and accounts is all that is needed.”
