Offshore outsourcing provides all the benefits of local outsourcing and delivers additional value in resource availability, lower cost, higher quality and improved time-to-market. Besides providing more manpower and specialized knowledge for projects, it also helps in accessing additional capacity on demand, quick integration of technologies and speedy application development time.

India is now the preferred country for offshore software development. 203 of the Fortune 500 corporations now use India as their development base, either through an outsourcing company or directly.

Only a clear vision for IT that relates to the business vision, and a conviction that offshore outsourcing will help in fulfilling that vision, can make it a success.
