Offshore outsourcing's reigning champion, India, squares off against its upstart rival, China, on software quality, staff costs, advanced business skills and more. We also figure in a few top of mind questions for the IT manager who'll be traveling to his company's offshore provider once a quarter: Can I get a decent cup of coffee, and how long will I actually be on the plane?

Tube Time

INDIA EDGE CHINA

Nonstop flight from Chicago to Delhi: 14 hours, 55 minutes Nonstop flight from Chicago to Beijing: 13 hours, 20 minutes

INDIA EDGE CHINA

Learn to love tea. Local coffee options are weak Starbucks locations abound in big cities

Scalability

INDIA EDGE CHINA

Tier-one vendors have tens of thousands of employees; can set up dedicated offshore centers for customers Most work remains product-based only, due to the fragmented nature of the IT services industry

Advanced Business Skills

INDIA EDGE CHINA

Skills like project management and business analysis are gradually getting better, thanks to market pressures and more than a decade of experience serving Western IT services clients. But there's still plenty of room for improvement. Poor project management and business analysis skills; limited experience serving Western IT clients.

Cheeseburger Far from Paradise

Good luck. If all else fails, try Millers 46 Steakhouse in Bangalore. Many Western-type burger joints (with local flair).

INDIA EDGE CHINA

$9,896 $10,095

Wage Inflation

Jaywalking as a Sport

INDIA EDGE CHINA

You'll get hit by a car or pedicab. Drivers will make an attempt to stop.

National Marketing Efforts

INDIA EDGE CHINA

National Association of Software & Service Companies ( Nasscom) expertly sets the tone for conversations about India's IT services industry globally. Wants to set up its own version of Nasscom, but will likely be government run.

Popularity Contest

INDIA EDGE CHINA

Ranked number-one location for offshore IT services by Western IT services buyers. (Good job, Nasscom!) Tied for number three with Eastern Europe (Latin America is number two).

Technology Infrastructure

INDIA EDGE CHINA

Top-notch IT infrastructure within technology parks and on major IT campuses. Outside of those areas, not so much. Tie. Solid IT infrastructure within technology parks, although not quite as good as India's, extends to larger metropolitan areas.

Physical Infrastructure

INDIA EDGE CHINA

National telecommunications, power system and roads need major work. Construction and modernization projects around the clock (thanks in part to impending 2008 Olympics), but bad traffic and smog in some cities.

Multinational Presence

INDIA EDGE CHINA

India's share of multinational ( IBM, Accenture, EDS) headcount devoted to offshore work has decreased by 9.5 percent in the past two years. China's share of multinational (IBM, Accenture, EDS) headcount devoted to offshore work has decreased by 15 percent in the past two years.

印度IT业起步要比中国早,而且英语对印度人来说要比中国人有优势。这些客观原因使得目前印度的IT业要比中国发达。
不过以中国IT业增长的势头,预计10年左右就可以超过印度了。
目前中国已经成为IT外包的主要国家。

中国外包的水平仍然比不上印度,特别是解决方案提供这方面。

印度的公司都能跟IBM抢单了,可中国呢?

有朋友说中国的外包创造性太差了,只能按部就班的工作。
不知道大家怎么看?
