Why China -Higher Quality, Lower Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO)

• How did manufacturing succeed in China?
• Product manufacturing is non-reversible process
• China benefits from a culture that promotes
  high-discipline, high-quality, attention to
  detail, strict process implementation and
  efficiency.
• Why Outsourcing to China?
• By applying strict manufacturing discipline, US
  companies dont have to spend unnecessary effort
  in corrections as they have to do with the
  outfits in some other countries which do not have
  such discipline
• Lower total cost because of high efficiency and
  right result delivery
• Full-scale economy, huge domestic IT service
  demand makes IT professionals in China understand
  business requirements much better than countries
  which do not have as a big overall economy
