承接软件外包艰难起步

Hard Steps for Company's outsourcing Packaged-Software

“中国的软件企业能否走向成熟,此刻是对我们最大的考验。市场是有机会的,问题在于你给不给自己机会活到明天。”

Companies that outsource packaged-software implementations can benefit from shortened time to lowered costs as compared to the result of taking on these tasks in-house.IDC estimates that the time span to implement an application can be reduced by 43 percent if performed by an outsourcer because of its richer experience in an application area and more effective management system in both cost and resource. But 'If the outsourcer has poorer experience in an application area than the customer,there is few benefit to outsourcing,'says IDC'S Amy Mizoras.They want to select an outsourcer that has experience with similar situations to yours-company size,implementation approach(incremental versus entire project)and application type(mission critical or not),which ensures that the outsourcer will understand their needs and in many cases can suggest other applications and features helpful to their organization.In fact,such factors as poor experience,small software team,and so on are restricting the software package outsourcing to China. It will be a hard time for the software enterprises in China who have determined to enter the outsource market.
