2009 was a tough year for all businesses worldwide due to complex economic conditions. Software outsourcing has also experienced the influence of recession, being one of the most globally integrated business domains. It was the year of cutting costs and seeking new opportunities; and when it has passed, it’s a good time to summarize the outcomes.
“Today it’s evident that the past year not only slowed down some outsourcing trends but also streamlined the evolvement of others,” states Softheme Chief Executive Vadim Sharko.
“iPhone development was one of those new trends for us which gained in popularity during 2009. Development of small and single-purpose applications for mobile devices is financially beneficial – they require relatively modest investments and are sold well. Each day Apple’s AppStore is refilled with a variety of new hot applications and tools.”
