The Long - Term Outlook

From a business and technical standpoint, China is becoming an increasingly viable complement, if not alternative, to Indian outsourcing services. Changes in China are creating an ideal venue to outsource software. These include an emphasis on education, a rapidly developing economy, liberalization of laws and policies and growing English language capability.

In addition, China? global manufacturing industry has created the support services infrastructure necessary for ex-patriots working and living in China. As the number of global corporations investing in and entering China's growing economy increase, there will be greater opportunity to produce software products and services for the China market.

Finally, China is becoming an attractive alternative to India where surging demand is making outsourcing to India increasingly difficult. Access to quality resources and receiving adequate attention from overwhelmed vendors are two major reasons companies are looking for alternatives to India. China is the only country in the world with a large enough skilled talent pool to be a viable long-term alternative to India.
