Digital Divide Data
DDD is a social enterprise that delivers digital content, data and research services to clients worldwide. Customers receive high-quality competitively priced digital content services. At the same time, DDD’s innovative social model enables talented youth from low-income families to access professional opportunities and earn lasting higher income. This model, established by DDD in 2001, is now called "impact sourcing”〔http://www.accenture.com/SiteCollectionDocuments/PDF/Accenture-Exploring-Value-Proposition-Impact-Sourcing.pdf〕and has been implemented by dozens of firms around the world. Featured in Thomas L. Friedman's ''The World is Flat'' as an example of socially responsible outsourcing, DDD's clients include Reader's Digest, Harvard Business School, New York Daily News, Ancestry.com, and Stanford University.
==History==
In February 2001, Jeremy Hockenstein (co-founder and CEO of DDD) travelled to Angkor Wat and was struck by the mix of poverty and progress in Cambodia. Though there were computer schools offering training to young people, there were still no jobs for the students once they graduated. Recognizing the opportunity to make a difference, Jeremy assembled a group of friends, who all saw an opportunity for growth: applying India's outsourcing model to Southeast Asia could provide jobs and contribute to the region's development. The group returned to Cambodia during the summer and founded Digital Divide Data, (now known as DDD) with a plan to start a data entry operation in Phnom Penh.〔Thomas L. Friedman ''The World is Flat'' (New York, 2006), 450〕
DDD opened for business in July 2001.〔Thomas L. Friedman ''The World is Flat'' (New York, 2006), 451〕 The enterprise began as a single small office in Phnom Penh, digitizing the Harvard Crimson.〔http://www.digitaldividedata.org/about/our-story〕 In 2003, Digital Divide Data opened an office in Vientiane, Laos, which in early 2004 was followed by a third office in Battambang, Cambodia. The Battambang operation was merged into the Phnom Penh office in 2012. A fourth operations center was opened in Nairobi, Kenya in April 2011.
DDD currently operates three offices with over 1000 staff.〔http://www.digitaldividedata.org/about/our-story〕 It is currently the largest technology employer in Cambodia and Laos.〔http://www.digitaldividedata.org/about/our-story〕
