Key Success Factors for Offshore Software Development Outsourcing to China
As one of the earliest operators of large-scale software development outsourcing center in the City of Shenzhen, one of the earliest Special Economic Zones in China, BroadenGate claims its success on the following three factors.

1) Project Management Capabilities
This element is the most critical factor since it determines whether a project can be delivered on time, within budget and with assured quality, which in turn combine to drive ultimate customer satisfaction.

" BroadenGate has, through many years of software development experience in China, developed the methodologies, processes and tools for highly successful software development work in China."

2) Effective Interaction with Customers
Communicating with customers in foreign languages, knowing and understanding customers' real requirements and responding promptly to their requests professionally during the project cycle will help building up mutual trust and good working relationship, which will lubricate the project implementation activities.

" BroadenGate requires all China-based professional services staff to go through English competency tests. This is complemented by India-based technical consulting staff with good English skills for customer interaction."

3) Supply of Affordable IT labors
Stable supply of IT labor helps keep down labor cost. China is now supplying over 450,000 Science and Engineering graduates annually. Highly focused and specialized Software Institutes are established to further expand the supply of software talents to meet the demand of this high growth market.

"In addition to its Shenzhen Outsourcing Center with around 400 engineers, BroadenGate has also formed a Software Development Alliance (SDA) with selected universities in China to ensure stable supply of software talents and competitive staff outsourcing rates"
