n 2011 the software publishing industry registered a +12% growth in sales, the 10 biggest players making up for 78% of the sector growth. However, new cloud technologies now simplify access to strong and scalable development and hosting infrastructures, within the limits of a reasonable budget and without having to make large investments.
In addition to these cloud services , the access to nearshore or offshore resources brings along an additional leverage impact that eases access to high-level profiles in an entirely dedicated environment.
HOW CAN YOU STAND OUT FROM COMPETITION AND IMPROVE YOUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE?
Besides the two traditional trade methods, direct sales and distribution networks, horizontal publishers are making progress thanks to "SaaS" (software as a service), a model for the future that forecasts a +17% income growth at global level. This implies "rental" offers that allow each and every player to enter a win-win situation: on the one hand, the publisher receives a periodical payment by approaching new types of potential clients; on the other hand, the client company is able to cut costs by paying only what it consumes and by additionally benefiting from more adapted and more efficient tools, higher-end/up-market products that may not have been accessible by means of traditional sales methods (license purchase, tangible investment, etc). As a publisher, all you have to do is to adopt a "pure player" strategy and to focus solely on your core business.
With a team of over 700 collaborators 80% of them multilingual, Techontario, European leader of IT nearshoring, will offer you customized solutions that will enable you to lower your costs and maintain your strategy.
