The industries our clients products and services apply to are numerous. These include communications, mobile and wireless, medical, automotive, consumer electronic, entertainment, security surveillance, and government civil contracting. Because of our technical strength in the fundamental technology platforms including processors, RTOS, and middlewares, we are able to develop a horizontal reach into a good number of domains. Product development has been the purpose of our life. We can lend a hand at any stage of a product development cycle *- from marketing requirements, to product design, implementation, test, deployment, sustaining, and to end of life transition, we are equally efficient. As a result, we usually work closely with our customer's R&D and the Product Marketing departments. Our customers come to us seeking two sets of values: efficiency and cost structure improvement, or catalyst for business strategic change. Most early adopters of outsourcing looked for tactical gain in the form of high efficient help on a project-by-project basic. That is, they are mostly interested in direct and eminent cash saving. If the company's goal is relative short term, this is still a very common and good reason to go offshore. As more and more vendors join the cost saving game, the offshore industry is becoming more mature. Some companies have realized offshore operation can not only bring down cost, but can also allow them to have a higher focus on their core competency, increase the rate of innovation, and eventually develop a new business model. Hence more and more customers are becoming keener on building an offshore presence that supports its long term planning and strategy. To these companies, the value of outsourcing lies in its ability of helping business transformation.
