What’s Happening in the Market
• Now small and medium vendors are also active
• MD of small (50 employee) Document Development and
Services company in Thames Valley
“we can no longer afford the salaries that developers want here even if we
can find them – we have no choice but to look at offshore again and get it
right this time”
• And some have tried and failed first time!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bottom line – the western markets with slow growth are
driving the need to reduce development costs, support costs
and decrease time to market
