I was in India from Nov 2005 to Mar 2006. I was helping a client select an ERP+ package, vendor & an implementation partner. I did a key note speech on "Global Outsourcing as a Business Strategy" for the insttute of chartered accountants. I also did a chief guest ship for a charity. Another multi hour lecture was at a regional engineering college of my hoe town Jaipur, Rajasthan.
India was no longer a sweat shop for cheap call center plays or simple minded systems development. Companies were moving towards installing enterprise scale systems to improve productivity. Microsft & Google products were in use by the masses similar to US & the other western countries. I also came in contact with many industrialist of the country & got chance to see first hand which way the technology wind was blowing.
As a result of the above following implications are offered:
1. India will soon be selling sophisticated software products to USA & Europe.
2. It will begin handling mission critical complex systems.
3. Salaries in India will rise so much that the outsourcing & call center business will move to Pakistan & other Central Asian countries.
