Converging technologies of telecommunication, IT and media have redefined the way we do business. And global giants such as IBM, Microsoft, General Electric, British Aerospace and General Motors keep ahead of their rivals, thanks to the competitive advantage conferred on them by some of the best software companies in India. You, too, can benefit immensely from a successful software outsourcing strategy to India.

Software Outsourcing to India is rapidly becoming a global practice as international corporations recognise its multiple benefits. The software outsourcing budget of global leaders has increased significantly and the worldwide expenditure on outsourcing services is expected to grow from $140 billion in 2005 to over $220 billion by 2010. Most importantly, corporate giants in the UK, USA, Europe and Japan prefer India for cost-effective and high-quality software solutions.

The abundance of highly qualified and technically skilled English-speaking computer professionals is the key to success when it comes to IT outsourcing to India. The country churns out 75,000 IT graduates and two million English-speaking graduates every year.

According to a recent study, around 17 million professionals will be eligible to join the IT industry by 2008.

The comprehensive IT infrastructure makes India the most viable outsourcing option for the corporate houses worldwide. Excellent telecom, ISP and cellular networks are available across the country. In addition, India has reliable satellite and submarine communication links that facilitate good band connectivity with the rest of the world.

Software Outsourcing to India is rapidly becoming an accepted management tool for redefining and re-energising business processes. It challenges today's managers to rethink the traditional, vertically integrated firm in favour of a more flexible organisation ? structured around core competencies and long-term, outside relationships.
