Build-Operate-Transfer for ISVs
The five strategies for offshore software development
Five high-level business strategies exist for offshore software development:
- Tactical Outsourcing
- ODC (Offshore Development Center)
- Build-Operate-Transfer (B-O-T)
- Do-It-Yourself ODC
- Acquisition (M&A)
Facing intense competitive pressure, independent software vendors (ISVs) must aggressively deliver new product features in ever-shorter release cycles. This imperative has led many ISVs to expand development capacity offshore.
For COOs and CTOs operating in a three to five year planning window, this paper shows how B-O-T best meets the cost, quality, and risk criteria for midsize software vendors.
