Outsourcing, while once considered an option forced upon IT
by disgruntled executives, is now a golden opportunity for IT Companies.
Shortages of e-business application development skills and shrinking
time-to-delivery requirements brought about a drastic change in the sourcing
arrangements. By taking advantage of the increasing number of sourcing options,
IT groups can now focus on building their organizations' revenue-generating
aspects.
Contract Manufacturing transformed the high technology
industry and Software Outsourcing is about to transform the complete picture of
IT & related products in the years to come. The outsourcing model is
already being leveraged by 40% of the Fortune 500 companies including GE,
Lucent, Oracle, Microsoft, Motorola - the list goes on. The offshore
outsourcing model can bring cost saving of 50% to 70% depending upon the onsite
and the outsource resources.
Like say an Offshore Center in India enables
follow-the-sun Development. A nine-and-a-half-hour difference from the
Eastern Standard Time puts India in a perfect position to enable 24-hour,
around-the-clock development.
Think about it: a US development team can work all day, and
then while they are sleeping, an Indian development team can pick up the work,
making continuous development possible and drastically cutting down deployment
times
