2009 Top Indian Offshore Applications Development and Management Outsourcing Vendors, Black Book Survey Results |
Who Are the Top Indian Offshore Applications Development and Management Outsourcing Vendors? Application development management (ADM) outsourcing helps organizations adapt to the rapid technology advancements and evolving business processes. Outsourcing software development helps them fulfill their need for newer customized solutions or transformation of existing systems to state-of-the-art environments while retaining the embedded business processes, rules and logic.
The top two pressures that drive ADM should come as no surprise to executives: reducing IT operating costs and the desire to have internal IT focus more heavily on strategic tasks. But many organizations, especially mid-size enterprises, see value in human asset management in IT by tapping the superior expertise among some providers with the goal of having that knowledge transfused into the skill sets of their internal IT professionals. Also, more than one third cited a need for a quicker turnaround in application development projects, a key performance measurement in a faster-paced business world in which delay and hesitation can impact competitiveness.
The 2009 Black Book of Outsourcing IT ADM client/user survey investigated over 850 contracts held by 2,217 of the top outsourced ADM spending corporations and organizations globally.
This report identifies the top-rated Indian ADM outsourcing vendors in four areas:- Custom ADM
- Product ADM
