Over the last several years, many packaged software vendors/ software providers have outsourced their development needs with cost-cutting in mind. However, that’s no longer the case. While having global R&D delivery capabilities are important, there’s more to it that just cost advantages.

Today, from architecture and design to development and support, offshore R&D teams are working hand-in-hand with their onsite counterparts to deliver innovative software at a faster pace and high quality. Global teams are now helping companies stay ahead of the curve, innovate and grow – and those who don’t utilize their capabilities are likely to be the ones left behind.

But not everyone reaps the benefits of globalization equally. So what are the factors that can help you leverage distributed R&D?

Join Aspire Systems for a Panel discussion on “Distributed R&D: Beyond just Cost Benefits”.  Some of the themes discussed will be:

• The impact of distributed R&D on software companies/teams
• How do you leverage software/product engineering expertise of global players?
• Challenges in outsourcing and how to overcome them?
• Globalization – myths and realities
• Best practices pertaining to globalization & distributed development
