38% of software development professionals use outsourcing
More than one-third (38 percent) of software development
professionals at companies use some type of outsourcing to meet their
organization’s needs, according to a new survey.
SoftServe polled 6,000 decision-makers from independent software
vendors, large enterprises and small-to-medium businesses where
software development was a key business focus.
The consultancy found that of those firms that used offshore software development outsourcing, 67 percent did so in India.
Ukraine and China were tied for the second most popular destination
for offshore outsourcing, followed by other locations in Eastern Europe.
According to oDesk data, the average feedback for providers hired when outsourcing to Ukraine is higher than the oDesk average.
"During this economic recession, the competitive application
outsourcing arena has become even more fierce as customers push for
lower cost and improved operational efficiencies," commented Rona
Shuchat, director of Application Outsourcing Services at IDC.
Of the professionals surveyed, 60 percent said they have increased
their IT development budgets in 2009. A total of 26 percent said their
budgets were at least 10 percent higher than in 2008.
