12. Our Pie in IT Outsourcing The global outsourcing industry, including offshoring and onshoring, is estimated to reach $464 billion in 2011, Revenue of the off shoring segment to amount to $144.8 billion. India will capture 42.5 % of the offshore market to reach $61.5 billion in revenues, China will continue to lag India with revenues reaching $45.7 billion equivalent to 31.5 % of the market The Philippines will still hold the third spot with estimated revenue of $10.7 billion capturing 7.4 %.

13. Competition China also has a stronger hold in the domestic BPO market. In 2010, more than 75 percent of service outsourcing revenue is from the domestic market. Chinese companies are looking at outsourcing locally as an option to compete globally Indian outsourcers are also starting to realize the importance of the growing domestic market. Indian service providers, which used to shun the domestic Indian market three to four years ago in favor of higher revenues from the US and UK, are now looking to diversify their client base. The Philippines is likewise taking steps to gain more of the offshoring market share from non-English speaking countries. The Board of Investments announced in July 2011 that it would be teaming up with IBM Philippines to conduct research and implement programs to build the multi-lingual talent pool of the country for business process outsourcing Vives concluded, “Given the continued growth of competition and increasing demand from other countries besides the US and Europe, XMG Global expects a sustained displacement and redistribution of market share not only between India and China but in other emerging outsourcing destinations such as Brazil, Mexico and Malaysia .”
14. Challenges Be competitive by Sustaining the cost advantage Moving up in the value chain Sustaining the present credentials in the Quality of the deliverables Availability of competent and quality resources Time to Train the Resources Training Cost 35 % of the Graduates only can be productively employed – Economics times
15. Shift in focus Focus is shifting to attracting to huge investments, and engaging employees to understand customers customer From becoming employable to deployable
17. Theory X With Theory X assumptions, management's role is to coerce and control employees. People have an inherent dislike for work and will avoid it whenever possible. People must be coerced, controlled, directed, or threatened with punishment in order to get them to achieve the organizational objectives. People prefer to be directed, do not want responsibility, and have little or no ambition. People seek security above all else..
18. Theory Y With Theory Y assumptions, management's role is to develop the potential in employees and help them to release that potential towards common goals. Work is as natural as play and rest. People will exercise self-direction if they are committed to the objectives (they are NOT lazy). Commitment to objectives is a function of the rewards associated with their achievement. People learn to accept and seek responsibility. Creativity, ingenuity, and imagination are widely distributed among the population. People are capable of using these abilities to solve an organizational problem. People have potential.

24. Human Errors Lack of process knowledge Lack of tools knowledge Lack of system knowledge Lack of domain knowledge Introduced with other repair Change coordination Individual mistake Communication problem Is it possible to prevent ?
25. Why we need a process ? To be cost competitive Quality To do the Right things first ( To minimize the rework/ COPQ) Consistency Measure the process and product Quality To prevent the defect Optimize COQ To provide consistent deliverables ( Language/ Culture / Country ) To meet Stake holder needs To meet Statutory / Regulatory Requirements Process : The means by which people, procedures, methods, equipment and tools are integrated to produce a desired end result Industry is growing – X% - YOY Churn in the human resources
26. Process flow Software Engineering Process Project Management Process Software Development
27. Can good technical knowledge on basics alone fetch you the job? Would knowledge on SW Engineering Processes increase your employability? Why do we need to understand the Organisation needs? How would understanding of customer needs benefit me? Is it required to understand the different Types of Projects ( Development / Maintenance / Support) in IT? Points to Ponder
28. Recommendation to Shift FROM TO Any Academic Projects Projects on Emerging Technologies /Business Areas Focus merely on Technical learning Soft Skill Sheer Class-room lectures Application of Technical knowledge Academic Qualification Promotion of Additional Certifications Aligning to curriculum Forums of Industry (i.e. ASQ, SPIN , IEEE, CSI, PMI etc) Faculties to look forward to academicians To Industrialists to bring the needs to lecture hall
29. Models and Methodologies ISO Standards CMMi PCMM Six Sigma Lean ITIL Frame work PSP /TSP Knowledge Management Learning's from the past experience Sharing the best practices Driving factor : The desire to deliver added value and value for money to the customer
30. In Summary . . . Understanding the Software Engineering / Project Management Process and it’s Importance is as important as Technical skills. Understand the Customer Expectation than the Specifications. See the big picture and meet the industry expectation Emerging Quality Models / Skills will be a big plus, which will give a competitive edge
