| Outsourcing
in India - Working with the world's best software professionals
|
|
Indian
companies are seen as preferred partners all over the
world. Her natural resource lies in its abundant technically
skilled manpower, easily transforming India into an
outsourcing paradise. It has a large pool of computer
literate and English speaking professionals and, above
all use of state-of-the-art technologies especially
in software development. The solutions are cost-effective,
high quality, highly reliable, and delivered on time.
Last year alone, 158 of Fortune 500 companies outsourced
their software requirements to India, retaining their
competitive edge. A World Bank funded survey revealed
that India was rated as the #1 outsourcing destination
by vendors in USA. The survey also indicated that India
commands a 16.7% market share in the global customized
software development market. Phenomenal figures - that
speak of hardcore professionalism.

Today
the world over companies trust that they will find the
correct source from India. The Indian model ensures
that it works in a systematic manner. First of all,
IT systems - production servers, mainframes, and application
systems - rarely reside in India. Rather, outsourced
systems reside at the client site, or in some cases,
at a hosted site in the US or Europe. Remote workers
in India develop code or maintain systems from a facility
in India over a variety of communications links. As
a consequence there should be no concerns about the
system being affected.
Pune is a fast emerging outsourcing destination. It
is close to the commercial capital of Mumbai, barely
two and half hours away on road and a half hour away
by air. This fast emerging info hub fast has a large
number of quality educational institutions and universities.
Today its resources and statistics back its claim for
the numero uno destination for IT investments. The setting
up of IT Parks with good connectivity, phone lines and
electricity and a robust telecom infrastructure is another
reason for why Pune is the new IT destination. The availability
of huge land in prime locations coupled with the abundant
trained manpower has prompted many companies to open
office in Pune.
