Compared with some countries, China still lacks experiences in IT outsourcing.The information technology outsourcing (ITO) industry in China is still in a starting stage. But, it has already shown a strong growth momentum. Software outsourcing has been the most outstanding aspect. In 2006 China's software outsourcing market reached a size of $1.43 billion, up by 31.56% over $920 million in 2005.
Compared with some countries, China still lacks experiences in IT outsourcing. The country still needs to further research and summarize IT outsourcing theories and models that suit enterprises and the actual situation in China. However, as Chinese enterprises further deepen their IT applications, there is no doubt that the IT outsourcing industry has a bright future. Some have predicted that China will be among the world's top 3 countries in terms of IT outsourcing businesses between 2007 and 2010. It is already 2007 now. Has China really been among the World's top 3 countries in terms of ITO? What problems still need to be urgently solved on the road towards the goal? CCID Consulting will make the following analysis: To sum up, there is still a long way for China to go to be among the world's top 3 countries in terms of IT outsourcing services between 2007 and 2010. There are also many problems for China to solve. But, there is one aspect which is certain: China must clearly understand its strengths and characteristics, find a road which suits its national situation and take it in a down-to-earth and persistent way. It is not just the responsibility for some enterprises to gain a place for China in the international technology outsourcing market. But, enterprises alone are not enough. The government should also offer corresponding manpower, materials and policy support.
