Software services outsourcing software industry has always been a profitable hot spots around the park all hope that the introduction of software outsourcing services. RMB exchange rate changes, therefore, direct the software outsourcing industry to meet the exchange rate in the front line for the winter. Especially in Europe and the United States as a major visit to the packet outsourced services in the RMB exchange rate against the dollar break through 7, it is difficult for all small and medium-sized enterprises. This is based on U.S. dollar-denominated revenues, as well as a variety of fees and expenses for the RMB clearing, RMB exchange rate between the dollar and the difference between a serious impact on the value of their profits, coupled with the appreciation of the renminbi depreciation of the dollar, the depreciation of between 1 l, so that outside Package of industry profits almost disappeared.
At the same time, Japan's software outsourcing business is a big business package of key enterprises at home and abroad, the contract market, the Japanese market accounts for about 63% of the overall market, while Japan's IT outsourcing projects in general is not high, the depreciation of the Yen is also Japan's economy in line with the development needs of low-yen exchange rate factor in the relatively strong. Japan's low value-added that can not be a powerful alternative to exports of the software industry will face great difficulties.
There are figures of yuan for every 1% of the total software export profits will be 0.7 percentage points. Since July 2005 to Dec 2007 25, China Foreign Exchange Trade Center, according to the statistics, a total of RMB appreciation rate of over 11%.
In theory, corporate offshore outsourcing contract aimed at making business to save 30% -50%. If the yuan continues to appreciate, this will be the driving force behind the outsourcing is getting smaller and smaller. This is China's outsourcing market is a big blow to the development of immature market, set up road blocks, impeding development.
Small and medium-sized independent software developers can hardly ends meet
Despite the changes in RMB exchange rate to reduce independent software developers of software outsourcing services to the living space, but large-scale ISV outsourcing, but the bad days, and its strong capital advantage can be assured that enable them to tide over the current winter rates. Liu Ren, chairman of Neusoft Group machine, a public occasion, he said: "Despite the current environment, but large-scale software services outsourcing company, is not very serious, it is also a competitor at the same time, so be it their own The more powerful a good time. "
In this regard, the international soft in Europe and the United States is committed to outsourcing, Sun Xiu-fang, vice president of view is common, she said: "The macroeconomic environment of outsourcing services, is bound to affect business at the same time it is also an industrial adjustment. The Matthew Effect major competitors also found that the software outsourcing industry. "
SUN Xiu-fang at the same time also pointed out that the current economic environment, a number of small and medium-sized software services outsourcing company is bound to die, a large outsourcing company will need to be more specific, more detailed, each list should conscientiously do a good job.
In fact, the software outsourcing services to small and medium-sized enterprises are faced with is indeed a better chance of surviving pressure High-tech Zone in Dalian, have 20-30 software outsourcing company has developed its own software, "Union", his spokesman said Appreciation of the RMB, which has eaten up 10% -20% of sales, some companies even 100% of the orders come from overseas, the current contract has been signed.
As the domestic software outsourcing enterprises generally choose only one side of the package, rather than direct contact with customers, and then package in the business value chain, is also a low-end, that is the primary encoding as well as the outsourcing of some of the test outsourcing business. The industrial chain of high-end demand for software research, design, as well as the detailed design, and other Chinese enterprises are rarely touched on. This situation makes China's software outsourcing industry, low value-added industries, industry profits are not high, a large number of outsourcing software outsourcing business profit margins of about 20% -30% of the profit margin less than ordinary small and medium-sized small and medium-sized manufacturers 10% of the business. Run-rate of less than 4% out of the small and medium-sized enterprises must be a single, a single payment, is faced with death.
Zaiyu outsourcing overseas financial turmoil
"911" incident, the seventh anniversary of the week, the top five U.S. investment banks, in addition, Bear Stearns in March this year, bought JP Morgan Chase, Lehman Brothers announced on September 15 filed for bankruptcy protection, as well as Merrill Lynch in September 14 to reach an agreement, Bank of America will be the price of 44,000,000,000 U.S. dollars, which is the day after tomorrow.

The negative impact of financial market news not only to attack Europe and the United States market, China's software outsourcing companies, such as Neusoft and soft in such an international software outsourcing services to the domestic giant, was born in the United States of the local software outsourcing company Adversely affected.

"

After the Union vulnerable to the size of the bid to negotiate a more solid capital, and then after the package greater ability to perform. Union will bring more stability to provide better customer market order.
Economies of scale, the software outsourcing industry is of vital importance. For international business, they must consider outsourcing more R & D capabilities and credibility, not just the price factor. Because of this, the largest outsourcing companies can easily solve all conflicts, more high-end outsourcing services.
In addition, SUN Xiu-fang, the software outsourcing business in the winter, we must pay attention to brand image and integrity of the building, she said: "For customers in Europe and the Americas, when it comes to first think of outsourcing is certainly India Company. This is not only a language barrier Is a problem, but China's software outsourcing services to businesses not value their own brand names. The Chinese people are not market than India, the outsourcing industry, but because of a lack of brand awareness and credibility, the two sides of the building. "
"Winter" is also an opportunity to
Even if the current macro-economic environment than in previous years, but China's economic development is still at double-digit growth. China's software outsourcing services, India's software and service outsourcing business is the biggest difference between China's domestic demand and strong advantages, and possessed a large domestic market.

"
Similar soft domestic sales in the international practice, Jane Burt also began to seize the domestic users of high-quality regional outsourcing center. Zhao said: "Although the public can not Genpact to set up branch offices in the city, but the company has become the ideological and strategic considerations, and in the process of being implemented."
