    The R&D offshoring industry can be sliced into three horizontals

    Definition

    Software development is the translation of a user need or a product idea into an operationalcomputer based software. The product development lifecycle includes conceptualization,

    Scalability, productivity and cost escalation are some of the key challengesfaced by R&D centers (1/2)

    Headquarters are concerned about the increase in cost at R&D centers1

    Key Challenges

    ompan es ave seen a cos ncrease o per cen o per cen year-over-year Cost increase is the higher at smaller R&D centers due to difficulties in resource

    optimization

    Attrition

    e a r on eve s a cen ers range rom per cen o per cen . scompanies dont have a concept of bench strength or buffer resources, the impact of attrition is higher compared to IT services firms

    Attrition related best practices such as structured knowledge transfer, resourceshadowing are not common at R&D centers.

    R&D center heads seem to easily get bored once they have completed the hiringprocess for the India center

    R&D centers who are growing at a smaller pace and R&D centers whose globalrevenue is sta nant encounter hi her attrition at the senior levels.

    ProcessAdo tion

    R&D centers have minimal processes. The Headquarters are not able to accuratelytrack the progress of the projects

    As R&D centers are a part of the organization, it is very difficult to enforce process

    discipline only at the India R&D center.

    5

    Key Challenges

    large number of engineers Lack of career options makes it difficult for them to attract good talent from IT services

    firms.

    Productivity

    Productivity at the India centers tends to be 30 per cent to 40 per cent lower thanthat among the U.S. resources

    Lack of product roadmap clarity or delays in decision making in the U.S. results in

    significant idle time for the engineers Qualit of the talent lack of domain ex ertise and lower ex erience levels are

    6

    ,considered as the major reasons for lower productivity at the India centers.
