Accelerating Trend: China – The Other Global
Delivery Center
• China has emerged as one of the most frequently discussed offshore locations in
Asia/Pac for global delivery diversification
• Government support in developing offshore IT services from China strong, through tax incentives (7% tax rate), subsidies, guaranteeing benefits, capital injections
- Ministry of Commerce Thousand-Hundred-Ten plan supports growth of outsourcing providers
• Quality of labor pool improving, with plans to train 1.2M new skilled IT workers from
2009 to 2013 —areas of expertise in testing, coding, embedded software development, application development, and basic data analysis
• China’s English proficiency has been on the rise since 2004—today written English considered acceptable, however still marginal in conversation for business needs
• Infrastructure near global standards —big competitive edge versus India
• Wage rates competitive, particularly at entry level; lower employee attrition
•
Communist government in China showing stability, focus on high levels of GDP, financial systems improving
—needs to improve transparency and reduce corruption
• Foreign direct investment, trading alliances basis for improving cultural compatibility
• Financial support from government for vendors that reach CMM certification
• Progress on IP and data protection, but remains challenge due to lack of enforcement

Strategic Sourcing
There are multiple options for buyers. Relationship choices must link directly to the commercial arrangements (rate cards, SLAs, performance etc.)
Hypercompetition
• Pick up in demand — but we expect fits and starts
• Cost-based decisions
• Many providers chasing any opportunity
(revenue)
• Vendor fundamentals:
Profitability,
Restructuring,
Downsizing,
Rebalancing
• India-based providers experience slowing growth
• New players in services
Consolidation
• Traditional approaches and organic growth may be insufficient to keep revenue on target
• Acquisitions: HP/EDS,
Tech Mahindra/Satyam,
Oracle/Sun, PWC and
Deloitte/BearingPoint,
Dell/Perot, Xerox/ACS
… and expect more
• European companies — likely targets
• Providers in solid cash positions will be favored to advance via strategic acquisitions
Innovation
• Systemic changes in
IT sector require responses
• Growth rates for new industrialized services
— SaaS, Cloud — exceed the market growth rates
• Leaders invest to reposition and catch early wave — timing is critical
• Management discipline and long-term view to navigate an extended recession
