Outsourcing India

Outsourcing to India

India outsourcing vendors are comprised of a well-educated, English-speaking workforce.  This has helped India dominate the outsourcing industry. India has many outsourcing companies with deep software and computer expertise.

The Accelerance Global Partner Network includes several teams from India that have been thoroughly screened and vetted.  These teams have completed and/or are engaged in software development projects for Accelerance clients.

Working with outsourcers in India – Pluses

English, as a common first language, is a definite plus for Indian software development vendors.  Also, Indian outsourcing firms have access to a highly educated work force.  Many have a track record of multiple successful outsourcing engagements. 

From a technology standpoint, Indian vendors have broad experience with all of the standard software technologies such as .NET, Java, and LAMP for web and desktop applications. Indian firms are also creating embedded software for devices using Linux and embedded XP, as well as mobile applications using Palm OS, J2ME, and Windows Mobile.

Many Indian vendors take pride in their ability to collaborate with clients and apply good software design to application areas that are well understood. This covers many common applications in business, finance, and engineering.

Working with outsourcers in India - Minuses

The distant time zone may be an issue in working with India.  The time difference requires either very early morning or evening calls when live collaboration is necessary.

Programming expertise decreases as the sophistication of your chosen technology and need for innovation increases. Indian vendors working on the cutting edge of software technologies are not impossible to find — just more difficult.

Indian vendors typically are not ideal for creating scientific applications with complex algorithms that need to be invented by your outsourcing vendor.  Vendors with engineers who are expert at complex math implemented in FORTRAN or C and C++ are not as common in India as in some other parts of the world.
