Services for ISVs

Providing end-to-end Software Services to ISVs :

In today's highly competitive market, software product innovation is the key to offer greater value to your customers. However, great product ideas need to be executed upon. The innovation has to be translated into a great software product. This must be done with speed and quality. And in addition to a best-of-breed product, it is also necessary that the product is made available on multiple platforms to align with the customer's platform of choice.

The mounting pressure to improve profit margins, while improving time-to-market and reducing development cost has made offshore outsourcing strategy an inherent part of almost every product firm's strategic planning process. No longer does a company need to be of a certain size before considering offshore development as an option. In fact it makes sense to plan for this in the very startup phases of the company when the impact is most significant and the hurdles to change are lowest. Established companies need to use offshoring for new initiatives.

Are you open to Open Source?

Open source is an approach to design, development, and distribution offering practical accessibility to a product's source (goods and knowledge).

Open Source tools are poised to become a reckoning force in many business sectors, along with traditional software development and delivery models in enterprises. A Gartner report states that the global market for Open Source software solutions is expected to grow from $3.3 billion in 2005 to $6.4 billion in 2010.
