Quality Software Outsourcing Companies

 

by John Anthony

Quality Software Outsourcing Companies are good to do business with. They create value service, deploy it well and coordinate constantly to provide customer support. In short, they take the onus of seeing the whole process through.

Quality Software Outsourcing Companies are professional organizations catering to offshore clients. They handle all their outsourced work and make the service cutting edge. Doing business with these firms ensures timely deliveries and competitive advantage. The quotes might be justified to the kind of service provided, but there certainly will be no regret once the company tests the kind of quality packed into the service shipped.

Quality Software Outsourcing Companies are tough to identify. It is suggested that a thorough reconnaissance be done before a company is hired and the contract gets signed. The kind of clients it has catered to in the past, the ones it deals with right now and the effect of the service it shipped are all important parts of the decision making process. The stats help determine the credibility of the firm. They also help judge whether the firm has been painted big in hyperboles or does it really have some merit in it.

Once identified, quality software outsourcing companies should be accomplices for life. Such business partners are rare to find and once found, should never be let go off at all. These companies provide fine service and always stand by during back up support. They maintain thorough coordination and never create even a single moment when the client might be in despair or frustration. Their hallmark is their reputation, something they survive and thrive on. They go out of their way to retain that. Working with them is a splendid professional experience and such alliances are for the keeps. They have to be maintained well.

Where Outsourcing Dollars Go

 

by eWeek.com

The last three years have seen outsourcing as an expense of IT operating budgets rise from less than 4 percent in 2008 to over 7 percent in 2010, according to a Computer Economics (CE) study dubbed "IT Outsourcing Statistics 2010/2011."

That’s good news if you work for an outsourcing services provider. But what kind of services are IT departments spending on? Surprisingly, CE finds the most popular form of outsourcing by frequency and level are Web and e-commerce systems. By frequency alone, hosted applications and SaaS services lead the pack. But as CE points out in an email release about the report: "[T]he percentage of the typical portfolio being outsourced is still small, and the outsourcing cost and service success rates are low compared to other IT functions in this study."

Some other things of note:

* 44 percent of companies surveyed who are utilizing outsourced desktop support report saving money–this is the biggest area of cost savings.
* 50 percent of companies who outsource IT security see improved service levels.
* Sales staffs at SaaS and hosted application companies are having strong success with penetrating deeper in to those accounts for further business.

John Longwell, CE’s VP of research puts the outsourcing trends in perspecitve:

The bottom line is that IT organizations are outsourcing a greater portion of their IT functions today than just a few years ago. The recession seems to be accelerating an ongoing trend, but there are other factors.We’re seeing a sharp rise in the number of organizations outsourcing applications to SaaS vendors, for instance. Cloud computing is a development that will result in more money being spent with outside service providers, regardless of the macroeconomic climate.

The message here for job seekers: Web services, cloud infrastructure management, security and services providers are excellent companies to target for jobs. Look for those companies who are dominating a niche. Do your homework and network with these companies.

IT Outsourcing is Down and Barely Going Up

 

by Beth Bacheldor, CIO News

Forrester Research just revised its U.S. information technology market outlook forecast, from the 9.9 percent growth it estimated in July to 8.1 percent for the remainder of 2010. The technology research firm estimates 7.4 percent growth in the United States in 2011. Globally, the tech market will grow by 7 percent, compared with Forrester’s July forecast of 7.8 percent.

Forrester analyst Andrew Bartels writes in his blog that—much like the economy—the tech market’s outlook is murky (and he adds that he believes the economy is the best indicator of how the tech market will perform).

But Bartels also characterizes the tech market as “robust.” And by the looks of Forrester’s numbers, I’d agree. Except for…er, um… IT outsourcing. According to Forrester, U.S. computer equipment will grow 19 percent in 2010 and U.S. software purchases will rise by 9.1 percent (with operating system software, middleware, and applications sharing the growth). Communications equipment purchases will go up by 5.5%. U.S. IT outsourcing services, however, will go up a mere 2.8 percent.

Interestingly, IBM’s third quarter earnings this week, while not horrific (the vendor beat expectations), weren’t what investors wanted to hear. IBM blamed its less-than-stellar performance on (you guessed it) a shortfall in outsourcing deals. For what it’s worth, IBM did sign one large outsourcing contract that would have impacted overall outsourcing sales, but it was signed about a week too late. According to an IBM press release, outsourcing signings were $5.7 billion, down 14 percent, adjusting for currency. Had the new deal (signed on Oct. 8) counted, IBM would have reported outsourcing signings growth of 14 percent, adjusting for currency. This would have increased total signings reported from $11 billion to $12.7 billion.

So, in light of all this “downer” news about the IT outsourcing market, let me know what you think. Do you. What’s behind the slow growth?
