India is the clear leader in offshore software engineering. But as many companies look for alternatives or to diversify their global R&D portfolio, many companies are starting to take a close look at China. Already the king of offshore manufacturing, China is beginning to nurture their software development industry. But what’s the real scoop on China. Is it ready for prime time? How does it compare to India, Eastern Europe or the Philippines as a source of commercial grade software development talent? How should companies best incorporate China into their R&D strategy? Hear from leading analysts at Forrester Research and AMR who have slightly different views on how to think about China today and what the future holds.
