How to leverage outsourcing partners to enter the Chinese software market
As the global economy slows, many business software companies are seeing fewer sales opportunities as businesses cut software budgets and delay purchases. Despite the current economic climate, there is still a large and growing market for business software in China. An increasing number of US software companies are focusing on China market entry strategies and leveraging the knowledge of Chinese software outsourcing companies to aid with China market entry. A recent study sponsored by Dextrys titled Marketing Business Software in China discusses the Chinese market for US business software. The key findings from the study are: China has enormous potential for business software sales – 87% of the companies surveyed evaluated or purchased business software within the past 12 months US software companies are neglecting this market – only 30% of the companies considered US software products Chinese companies can and will “Buy American” – 52% of respondents would like to see more US software on the market and an additional 27% are willing to buy software from any location Traditional mass marketing is a poor investment for entering China – potential buyers rely on peers and the Internet for their information Quality and price are the two most important product attributes – and fortunately, 84% of survey respondents perceive US software quality to be high Chinese companies buy software following traditional models – 90% prefer to buy software licenses; leasing and hosted solutions have very low market penetration Many US companies have not entered China yet because of the risks and lack of China experience, but working with Chinese software outsourcing companies can significantly mitigate the risks associated and provide much needed local business knowledge. In recent years, a significant and increasing number of US software companies have leveraged partnerships with Chinese outsourcing companies to enter the Chinese market. As a result, some Chinese outsourcing companies have experience working with multiple US software companies an a variety of different market entry strategies. These outsourcing companies now understand the best strategies for US software companies entering China. So, US software companies entering China can significantly reduce the learning curve by partnering with local outsourcing companies. Typically, American software companies’ China initiatives begin with outsourcing software localization to China, but as sales grow, so do the offshore teams as product customization and support is required. So, Chinese software outsourcing companies have a vested interest in ensuring their US clients success in China and enthusiastically help in order to grow the account. These win – win outsourcing and market entry partnerships are also used by Chinese outsourcing companies to offer value added services over India

Blended rates: pros and cons
Outsourcing vendors often use “blended rates” to calculate the monthly / quarterly amounts due by their customers. Simply put, the blended rate is an hourly rate that applies to any single team member, regardless of seniority, from the less experienced developer to the most senior manager, with the possible exception of the top management. Beware! The apparent advantages of blended rates are increased invoice readability, better cash flow predictability, and the illusion for the customer that they are getting the most senior resources at a very attractive price. What usually happens is the opposite.

Should the design of the user interface be outsourced?
Many in the software industry are reluctant to outsource the design of their applications, and by design I mean the overall usability (look-and-feel, navigation, user experience, etc.). I do not have a definite answer, but I have learned one thing: BEWARE! While it makes total sense to have the back-end of the application developed offshore (whether outsourced or not), it is critical to carefully double check, when not triple check what the real design capabilities of your potential offshore provider are, if you do not want to end up with applications that are just unusable ! SMBs usually call existing references before selecting an outsourcing provider. Make sure design capability is one of your “must ask” questions. The reference certainly knows whether your provider has decent design capabilities or not

Overcoming the Software Developer Experience Gap in China
This article discusses how the experience level of software developers in China has caused challenges for software outsourcing companies when competing with Indian competitors. However, as the software industry in China matures over the next six years, the experience level of Chinese developers will edge closer to international standards. My last post before the holidays, Chinese software services revenue predictions fall short , discusses how the Chinese offshore services industry has not met analyst predictions in previous years, but did not get into why. One reason China has not reached expectations, is software development experience within the country
