Lavasoft chooses Sri Lanka to outsourcing software services
A news coming out that LavaSoft, one of the world’s leading anti-spyware organisations, has selected Sri Lanka as the destination to outsource its software development. LavaSoft was looking out for the ideal location in a South Asian region country with high skills and an ethical workforce that was able to deliver high quality software services.
Based in Gothenberg, Sweden, LavaSoft is the world’s first Anti Spyware organisation, which commenced operations in Germany in 1999 before moving to Sweden in 2002. In keeping with their corporate mission statement to “deliver high quality security software solutions that protect individual computer users”, LavaSoft, from their very first commercial application onwards has evolved to represent a vast range of internationally reputed, quality Anti-Spyware products, and has grown to become the global pioneer in this arena. Having won countless awards and high recognition, LavaSoft currently has over 4,000 partners in 120 countries. With over 350 million Ad-Aware downloads which have made it the largest marketing base in the global software security industry, LavaSoft continues to be the world-leader in the field of Anti-Spyware today.
LavaSoft executives were directed to this region by the Swedish Trade Council. After a study tour to Sri Lanka and filtering through eight local software outsourcing companies operating in Colombo, Lavasoft made its decision after analysing the competence, quality and delivery track record by the prospective outsourcing partners. Having selected Eurocenter DDC as their partnering company in Sri Lanka, LavaSoft commenced this exclusive partnership for outsourced execution with the local software engineering company.
“We were very impressed by the efficiency, competence and world class professionalism with which Eurocenter handled our initial pilot project” said Cliff Everingham, CTO of LavaSoft. He added “It was nice to meet a company in Sri Lanka which had the skill-set, hands-on experience and the capacity to deliver beyond our expectations, which is exactly what we were seeking. With a fast project turnaround timeframe and high level of competency we are now more than assured that we found the ideal company to work with in Eurocenter DDC”.
“Lavasoft’s partnership with Eurocenter is yet another testimony to our capability and efficiency to deliver high quality software services to global software companies” stated Mano Sekaram, CEO Eurocenter DDC, who added that it also endorses that “Sri Lanka is fast becoming a destination of choice to global companies to outsources software services“.

Offshore Outsourcing – Challenges In 2009
Found an interesting article on 2009 Offshoring challenges written by Maneet Puri - Director of LeXolution IT Services - have a look
The year 2008-09 has not been very good for businesses. With the global economic calamity and recession, businesses across the world have suffered severe damages. But the worst hit has been for the outsourcing industry. But the trouble doesn't end here. In fact, the offshore outsourcing industry has many other challenges staring at face. Here are some of them...
Recession
There was a time when offshore outsourcing was considered to be responsible for recession. However, at present economic recession poses as a severe threat to the outsourcing industry. Because of the bad state of American economy, Indian outsourcing industry that is almost solely dependent on the former has to face severe impacts. American companies have reduced their IT budgets and that leads to less (or no) work being outsourced to offshore continents.
Company Scandals
The Satyam debacle that happened recently made the whole world take notice of what has happened and question the ethics of Indian outsourcing companies. The scandal had exposed the dirty corruption practices of the industry and the international companies are much more skeptical about transferring their work to India now. The corporate governance of India is at question here and trying to gain back the confidence is quite a challenge.
Other Outsourcing Hubs
In addition to the sad market situation, there is also pressure of increasing competition. Though India is the world's favorite outsourcing destination, there are other emerging outsourcing centers like Philippines, China etc. Though Philippines is poor and lacks political stability, it is heavily banking on outsourcing to bring in country revenue. Like wise China, Russia and other countries of Eastern Europe are starting to compete with the service providers of India. In fact, China is on the second position after India in the field of offshore outsourcing.
Obama and American Policies
Obama has strong anti-outsourcing views and he has proposed the removal of tax benefits for companies that outsource their work to offshore continents. This would discourage more and more American companies to send their jobs overseas. This would add on to the already declined amount of outsourcing. The Indian outsourcing industry is faced with the huge challenge to overcome on this regards.
Indian Politics and Uncertainty
The general elections have taken place in India. And the new government has been formed. But it is yet to see the policies that are created for the offshore outsourcing industry. In fact, till the period of uncertainty is there, there will only be a skeptical attitude towards the outsourcing industry.
Indian outsourcing industry is going through a bad phase. It has all these challenges to cope up with and come over. But then again, the concept of offshore outsourcing has immense potential that cannot be undermined by any business. It is a powerful business strategy to cut investment costs and get access to high quality services and thus expand their profit margins. And this is something all businesses look forward to. Thus even in the wake of all these challenges, the Indian outsourcing industry has all the potential to come through unscathed.
