About Embedded Software Outsourcing
What is embedded software?
An Embedded Software is a collection of programs that are not meant for computers, but other electronic counterparts like cellular phones, automobile systems, robots, airplanes, missiles, television, toys, pacemakers, etc. Embedded Software is generally written for microchips that are different from general purpose Central Processing Units (C.P.U). In other words, Embedded Software is only meant for special purposes electronic equipments.
Embedded software outsourcing
The outsourcing of such embedded technology software is known as Embedded Software Outsourcing. Outsourcing is in general the process of passing the contractual work to a third party in order to reduce labor costs, operational costs and to improve the quality of the process under execution. Since most of the companies are based in developed countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, where labor costs are high and workforce is low, the Embedded Software development processes are generally outsourced to English speaking and technologically developing knowledge centers like India and Ireland, however for most of the work on Embedded Software, the countries preferred are India and China.
Embedded software outsourcing is done to these countries since they are efficient in their work and are highly professional in their approach. The embedded software outsourcing companies in these nations take high work load and the people of these countries do not mind working overtime in order to reach the client’s deadline and requirement. More so, the work is quite cheap in these nations and the quality of work is very high, these countries are fast developing knowledge economies of the world due to which Embedded Software outsourcing option is best with these nations. The process of outsourcing has led to the development of these Information Technology centers and they look after most of the American and the British processes and embedded software till today.
Embedded software generally requires very small memory to run, since the companies in India specialize in operating systems and languages, they provide high quality end to end solution to its design, development and testing, such that the components meet specific customer requirements.
The domain of embedded software includes:
Aerospace and Defense
Automotive
Consumer Electronics
Industrial Measurement and Control
Servers and Storage
Networking
Process Control Systems
Defense
However, there seems to be major hitches in the process of outsourcing embedded software projects to other countries due to technological mismatch and compliance issue, but due to some technological exchange the problem is solved and the process quality is maintained.
