Sysmetric Pvt. Ltd. is proud to be an Indian offshore development company, which effectively provides "best-in-class" offshore software development services to you out of India. Our past experience with our international clients from USA, Europe, Africa and Oceania makes us very confident that we will deliver the best possible quality, at significant cost savings to you, every time!

We safeguard your intellectual property, proprietary software and new development specifications with very high levels of security.

We also provide you with immediate short-term access to a broad range of specialised technical skills and equipment. Offshore development allows your "A" team to focus on your core competencies. This means you get to market faster while maintaining your technological advantage.

We not only perform development work but also can obtain your competition's product for evaluation. This allows us to ask the questions you want answered and not disclose client identity.

To sum it up: Cut your production costs without compromising on either speed or quality.

»  The value proposition for outsourcing to India

Dramatic cost savings
Fully loaded costs for offshore work in India are 30-50 percent lower than those in the U.S. and Europe, after factoring in increased expenses for telecommunication, infrastructure, and integration. Many ISVs have captured sizeable savings by offshoring development/maintenance for mature products and executing custom software projects.

Faster time to market
Indian offshore development allows companies to reduce the time required for conceptualization through marketing of the product. Time reductions result from 24/7 development cycles, rapid ramp-up through access to a large pool of resources and faster learning curves in some areas resulting from past experience.

High quality
Most IT services companies in India have a successfully tested methodology and have in-built quality standards for their development processes. For example, 22 out of the 37 SEI CMM level 5 certified software companies are in India. In addition, 140 ISO 9001 certified software development companies also exist in India.

Large technical talent pool
India has the largest English speaking IT talent pool in the world. Over 120,000 trained IT professionals are being added to the Indian talent pool yearly compared to 25,000 in the US. 62 percent of this Indian technical workforce has more than four years of experience and over 70 percent has an engineering degree.

IT is a major thrust area for the Government of India

• IT is one of the Government of India's top five priorities.
  
  
• The National IT Task Force submitted its 108 point Action Plan to promote IT in the country. The Government of India has approved the plan and is in the process of implementing it
  
  
• A separate Ministry of Information Technology was set up to expedite swift approval and implementation of IT projects and to streamline the regulatory process
  
  
• Information Technology Act 2000: The Information Technology Bill that was passed in the Indian Parliament in May 2000, has now been notified as the IT Act 2000. The IT Bill brings e-commerce within the purview of law and accords stringent punishments to "cyber criminals". India is one of the select band of nations that have cyber laws.
