Who is responsible for this defamation campaign?

This defamation campaign was first brought to the notice of the company almost3 years back. After a careful analysis Axact has identified the following groups that are, directly or indirectly, a part of this defamation campaign.

• The first group is comprised of some employers from IT companies who DO NOT have the ability to retain quality human resource, nor have they any interest in providing good salary packages, training opportunities and career growth to their employees. The job ads floated by Axact from time to time and the salary package and benefits mentioned therein are a cause for serious concern for them. These ads create endless problems for them in their efforts to retain their human resource. Since there is an abundance of small, unorganized software houses with no proper infrastructure and system, the resultant loss of a key employee and other related issues become a major cause of concern for them. Hence they resort to such unlawful practices to tarnish the image of the other well-established companies in the vain hope of retaining their employees.
  
  
• The second group is comprised of the candidates with a negative attitude who apply for jobs to Axact and do not qualify because they cannot meet the high standards required of applicants.
  
  
• The third group consists of people who are jealous of the growth and development of the employees of Axact.
  
  
• The fourth group is comprised of ex-employees of Axact who were terminated from the company due to gross policy violations including data theft, etc. Their only way to get a new job is to defame the previous company in front of potential employers.
  
  
• The fifth group is comprised of the elements having intentions to blackmail the organization for monetary and other gains. Axact is growing at a very fast pace and adopting Employee Welfare and Corporate Social Responsibility programs like beautification of chowrangis (roundabouts) at prominent locations of the city, etc. Hence, it is viewed by such elements as an opportunity to obtain illicit gains.
  
  
• The sixth group is comprised of individuals and companies having little or no knowledge of the growth of the global IT industry and IT companies operating worldwide. Unfortunately for them, they have only seen the decline and collapse of IT companies in Pakistan. They have, regrettably, little knowledge of Internet laws and transactions and hence do not have the ability to make the right judgment. This group, with no concrete knowledge of the facts, fall prey to the baseless and unfounded rumors that are generated by any of the above 5 groups.

Through their actions the members of 5 of the above groups have severely damaged the reputation of Axact, mainly to serve their own interests. Members of the last group mentioned above have unintentionally helped the defamation to unnecessarily spread due to their gullibility and erroneous belief in fabrications presented to them as 'facts.'

To date there has not been a single legal complaint (civil or criminal) filed against Axact anywhere in the world. Axact fully complies with Pakistani and international laws and denies all allegations made in the defamation campaigns.

All the aforementioned complaints and lawsuits are filed by Axact in the greater interest of the organization and its employees after exhausting all alternate means of communication with those involved in this smear campaign. Axact regrets the way fast growing IT companies are being victimized by some misguided elements and, in the process, losing their credibility and reputation. It is unfortunate that the IT export industry in Pakistan is way behind that of its neighboring country. It's time to rethink and unite instead of hiding our own failure by criticizing the actions of others.
