Today, saving money is the primary motivation for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs)
seeking offshore outsourcing vendor relationships. Some companies, not satisfied
with potential savings of 20% to 40%, seek greater savings by opening their own
offshore product Development and maintenance centers. This practice is particularly
prevalent in the high-tech sector, where companies may already have offshore R&D
centers, and in the financial services sector, where companies are looking to reduce
costs and/or better secure their internal systems. Unfortunately, the management
investment and overhead costs associated with opening a high-quality offshore product
Development center that is intended to support an enterprise IT organization rarely
justifies the payoff.
Companies that are interested in opening their own offshore Development centers
should weigh the risks and benefits carefully and realistically before they embark
on this major and, in most cases, unnecessary step. Partnering with An IT Solution
for product Development helps address these issues effectively. An IT Solution provides
all the desired benefits that ISVs seek including reduced cycle times, lower costs,
higher quality, and rapid resource ramp up/down. An IT Solution leverages upon a
wealth of experience in building and maintaining commercial software products and
application platforms for global ISVs. An IT Solution offers ISVs the benefits of
outsourcing, while minimizing the "hidden" costs sometimes involved in outsourcing,
such as the cost of managing the work or ensuring quality.

tailoring product services that best fit our clients' business requirements.

offering for each constituent. The core emphasis is on collaborative end-to-end
