Are Offshore Product Development Firms & Software Outsourcing Firms Different?
Being in the software product development we often get questions like how are software product development firms any different from offshore outsourcing firms? What is your differentiation?What do you offer that infosys and wipros do not offer?
These are valid questions but not surprisingly they often come from people who are not looking to innovate a product, people who are looking to innovate a product or service inherently know in their minds a regular software development firm will not fit the bill.
To start with a innovator looking to create a product or service is like rugby player who has the ball in his hand and is running towards the goal post like his life depends on it. And it does.
Only an innovator can understand an innovator. Period.

The preschooler learns the social skills necessary to play and work with other children. As time passes, the child’s ability to cooperate with a larger number of peers increases. Although 4- to 5-year-olds may be able to start participating in games that have rules, the rules are apt to change frequently at the whim of the more dominant child.
