Abstract

CONTEXT – Offshore software development outsourcing is a modern business strategy for producing high quality software at low cost. OBJECTIVE – To identify various Critical Success Factors (CSFs) that have a positive impact on software outsourcing clients in the selection process of offshore software development outsourcing vendors. METHOD – We have performed a Systematic Literature Review process for the identification of factors in the selection process of offshore software development outsourcing vendors. RESULTS – We have identified factors ‘cost-saving’, ‘skilled human resource’, ‘appropriate infrastructure’ and ‘quality of product and services’ that are generally considered important by the outsourcing clients. The results also reveal the similarities and differences in the factors identified in different continents. CONCLUSIONS – Cost-saving should not be considered as the only prime factor in the selection process of software development outsourcing vendors. Vendors should have to address other factors in order to compete in the offshore outsourcing business.
离岸软件开发外包供应商的关键成功因素:系统的文献综述
离岸软件开发外包是一种以低成本生产高质量软件的现代商业策略。目标-确定在离岸软件开发外包供应商的选择过程中对软件外包客户有积极影响的各种关键成功因素(csf)。方法-我们已经执行了一个系统的文献回顾过程,以确定离岸软件开发外包供应商选择过程中的因素。结果-我们确定了外包客户通常认为重要的因素“节约成本”、“熟练的人力资源”、“适当的基础设施”和“产品和服务质量”。研究结果还揭示了不同大陆所确定的因素的异同。结论:在选择软件开发外包供应商的过程中,成本节约不应被视为唯一的主要因素。为了在离岸外包业务中竞争,供应商应该解决其他因素。
