| India is one of the most technologically advanced countries
in Asia and has a set of competitive advantages that make
it an attractive outsourcing area. |
- Technical excellence
Historically, India has rich traditions in training highly
qualified technical specialists
|
|
- Low labor costs
One of the main advantages of outsourcing to India is the
low labor costs. Typically, rates of Indian software houses
are about seven times lower than that of the US or Western
Europe.
- Location
India is situated in Asia. Indian offshore software
development companies normally compensate for the
time difference with
their European and even American clients by adjusting
their working schedules so as to have maximum overlapping
hours
for mutual contact.
- Governmental support
The Indian government supports the companies, operating
in the sphere of IT. The Government of India issued
the decrees
through Nasscom, which created preferential economic
conditions for the association of companies operating
in the field of
IT applications production and export. This is the
creation of an offshore-programming zone. This creates
a legislative
basis for offshore software development. Preferential
taxation considerably reduces costs of software development
for Indian
companies.
