subject: India - the World's Most Sought After Software Development Destination [print this page] Software development services are those which use computer programming languages and other tools to provide a business or an organization with a structured, computerized system for conveniently creating and managing its information and records. They are operations which begin with a vision for automation, organization and for business without boundaries and which result in the victory of technology and teamwork over many trials and traditional trade-barriers.
Apart from conventional businesses such as manufacturing and logistics, software applications have found their place in airline ticketing, hospital administration, law firms, placement consultancies, supermarkets and even in retail stores and fast food joints! Therefore it is essential that software made for one kind of business is not derived from a previous software solution. More so, as an essential characteristic of software is that it can resolve situations beset with specific problems. Custom software application development refers to this kind of tailored' technology in which software applications are designed to perform according to particular business needs.
As the demand for software solutions is ubiquitous, there is keen competition among software firms for clients who can give them not just projects but also profits. In order to keep operating costs, wages and overheads at a minimum, global software companies have been choosing India for setting-up their solutions and research centers. If they were to invest on a similar scale in their home-countries, then they would incur colossal costs as their best brains are products of their best universities who need to be remunerated and rewarded with nothing but the best. The advantage that only India can offer in this aspect is that firstly, the bulk of its competent, English-savvy software professionals are self-made experts rather than students of elite institutions. Also, the exchange rate of the Indian Rupee vis--vis the Dollar, Pound or the Euro is in full favor of the trans-Atlantic nations. Governments of India are not averse to capitalism and they all welcome foreign investment. On attractive terms of trade, too. With the convergence of communications and computer technologies, it is feasible to have cost-effective interactive communication and secure data transfer from India to anywhere abroad. All these factors have ensured that India is the pivot on which the computer software development cycles of the world rotate!
