"Success in the software product space is not simply about having the technical abilities to build a better software solution. It is about understanding the market, identifying the right requirements, marketing it well and responding quickly to customer needs"

Setting up a captive offshore development centre is an expensive and risky proposition. Product development requires a different mindset, skills and development process than offered by outsourcing vendors who focus on enterprise IT outsourcing services.

The three major aspects of product development are product management, product engineering and maintenance and package implementation services around the product.
