  Until recently, the outsourced software development was concentrated in countries like India and China; Russia was far behind in the competition. There are several factors which accelerated the growth of these countries as outsourced software development preferred destinations. To list a few,
  
  1. Time Zone advantage
  2. Cost cutting
  3. It is easier to communicate with people who are fluent in English.
  
  Countries like Vietnam and Philippines are catching up faster because they are willing to provide similar quality services at even lower rates.
  
  For any country to win the race, it must concentrate on establishing confidence with the client. This has worked for most of the companies. India's Infosys can be taken as an example.

  I am somewhat confused here. Are we talking about outsourcing or offshoring? Well, if its offshoring that we are talking then heres a few things that should be looked into -
  
  1. Full convertibility of the INR - To ensure that more foreign firms have no issues against investing so much capital into the country
  2. Subsidies against FDI and FII - To incentivize foreign players to setup shops.
  
  In both the cases, countries like China beats us hands down.
  
  The talent and the low labor cost is always there with India/China/Russia, the lot

  Outsourcing software development is one trend that has caught up immensely in the present times. Almost all the software services are outsourced nowadays. Even when the resources that are required to build software is available, outsourcing is the option that is preferred. Outsourcing is instrumental in cutting down the costs building an IT service quite a bit. And as the number of concerns providing IT services are increasing the clients are having increased number of options to choose from. A-grade services are now available at hugely competitive rates, thanks to this concept of outsourcing software development. The most amazing factor here is that the third world countries are coming upfront in terms of outsourcing and they are actually reaping quite good results.
