Software Outsourcing Market Report

The role of software outsourcing companies is quickly transforming from ‘software developers for hire’ to strategic business partners. Offshore software development companies are observed to fill up critical positions in business models of modern enterprises. Aggressive demand for blockchain and IoT software developers due to increasing use of the technologies is expected to add to the growth of the global software outsourcing market. Advancement in healthcare technology could be a significant factor auguring well for the global market, considering high demand for healthcare software development. In August 2019, multinational IT service and consulting company, HCL collaborated with Oracle Health Sciences to accelerate mHealth in clinical trials.

Need for Better Product Quality more than Cost Reduction to Increase Demand

Skills gap in the software development industry and difficulty in hiring talented software developers are among top factors augmenting the demand for software outsourcing. IT enterprises looking for system integrators and capable partners to share project risks and responsibilities and freeing up their resources are forecast to create profitable business opportunities in the global software outsourcing market. Interestingly, today’s enterprises are placing higher emphasis on product quality compared to cost reduction when it comes to software outsourcing. Other needs of enterprises such as business expansion, enhanced security, and superior customer experience are also foretold to push the demand in the global market.
