Follow on Google News | Software Outsourcing: A Western Dilemma or an Opportunity ?According to the study, only four countries - India, Ireland, Canada and Israel - are capable of scaling up to meet the demands of large-scale projects in offshore software development.
By: Adam George The Western Dilemma: The global economic crisis has deeply affected especially Western countries and it is estimated that they will take a minimum of five years to recover. While they have tried to retain their advantage in technology, there are problems: • The USA and Canada producing a little over half the required number of graduates in science and technology • A large number of their MS and PhD students are international students who are likely to return to their countries • Mostly, the Western countries have aging populations, and executives in senior positions are heading towards retirement • While these countries are recovering, they are still lagging in the kind of growth and business competitiveness that they had in pre-economic crises days. The productivity gap between them and smaller industrialized nations continues to widen, every day. The Software Outsourcing Solution: The solutions to the human resource problems faced by startups, emerging and established technology companies and IT enabled organizations in the West are not possible in the short term - even immigration is a long and difficult process. This makes offshore software and software development outsourcing a viable solution for Western countries. • Some benefits of offshore outsourcing for software and software development are: • Cost effective, especially in tough economic times • Timely maintenance and service • Internationally qualified specialists in software and software development • Offshoring and outsourcing leaves clients free to focus on their core businesses, which could be manufacturing, hospitality, sales, etc. • Scalability Offshore outsourcing for software and software development has gained acceptance in most Western countries and is already a US$65 billion industry, predicted to grow rapidly and contribute to effectiveness, productivity and competitiveness to organizations around the world. http://www.brickred.com/ # # # With offices in the US, UK and Dubai, BrickRed provides services for end-to-end development of commercial grade software products and applications to start ups, emerging and established technology companies and IT enabled organizations.
