Versant strive to serve 2 objectives –
1) Employ American Youth in Innovative and Fulfilling AI Careers
Over the past decade, American graduates in software and computer-related disciplines have encountered a challenging job market due to massive outsourcing struggling to secure software positions and build meaningful careers — a trend especially pronounced among graduates from Tier-3 and Tier-4 colleges.
American grads are facing a multitude of opportunity challenges:
Struggling US based software providers : U.S.-based software service vendors — those committed to conducting development in U.S. soil — are increasingly struggling to remain competitive against foreign counterparts that rely heavily on offshoring. A key issue is the lack of clear differentiation: many U.S. providers suffer from poor service quality, missed project timelines, budget overruns, and outdated management practices. This makes it difficult to justify higher costs when compared to offshore-centric providers offering lower prices and, in some cases, more modern delivery models.US graduating students, especially from Tier-3/Tier-4 colleges lack practical, contemporary, employable computer skills to serve US mainstream industries’ IT needs. This lack of practical IT skills is a lead cause of graduating seniors to not able to find good-paying, fulfilling IT jobs.
- Off-shoring of software jobs: The majority of software service providers outsource software development to overseas teams — a practice that spans from small firms with fewer than 50 employees to multinational corporations employing hundreds of thousands. As a result, significantly fewer software job opportunities remain available for American graduates. The top countries to which software development is offshored include India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Ukraine, Romania, and China.
- Foreign work-visas – According to USCIS data for FY 2022, approximately 407,000 H-1B work visas were issued annually to foreign workers. An estimated 60% to 70% of these visa holders are employed in computer-related occupations, further limiting the number of job opportunities available to American graduates in the technology sector.
- Lacking practical and emerging software skills – While the U.S. produces world-class software graduates from top-tier institutions such as MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and Stanford, there is significant variability in the quality of college programs (especially Tier-3/Tier-4), hands-on training, and access to real-world experience across the broader academic landscape. As a result, many American graduates lack contemporary, applied software development skills. Software service providers frequently report challenges in finding “job-ready” U.S. developers who can contribute effectively from day one.

2) Provide 100% US Cutting-edge IT Services
Off-shoring of American IT jobs is a rampant industry phenomenon. Majority of IT services providers serving the US government agencies and mainstream industries employ off-shore staff, depriving American youth fulfilling, stable jobs and career opportunities. Off-shored IT services lack innovation, quality and are not timely. These factors are hurting small-to-medium business and government agencies competitiveness especially in adopting new IT innovations like AI, machine learning and Robotics.
