What is outsourcing and why are Internet companies outsourcing their projects to other companies?
Outsourcing is a process in which companies get their work done from an outside vendor for multiple reasons favorable for the company who has the project or favorable for the project's efficiency. There are multiple reasons why Internet companies are outsourcing their projects to other companies. It is a great solution for companies, especially if they do not have any internal development capabilities or do not wish to develop such skills or projects at the cost of more strategic issues.

Many of the Indian Internet companies are given projects from companies round the globe. Why?
Firstly India has the pool of good technical manpower that are experienced and efficient. Secondly Indian companies are cost effective as compared to other countries that are good in IT. So Indian companies can give quality solutions in a quite reasonable cost. These are some of the reasons why lots of companies are outsourcing projects to Indian companies. Arden also has its development center in India which houses the best technical staff who is experienced across a lot of various development tools and projects.

What are the various software tools used by Arden to develop outsourced projects. And why many of the outsourced projects Arden gets are from the Japanese and the Asian markets?
Arden has always been updated on the latest technologies available and has the skilled manpower that is working on these technologies. Arden currently is using tools like Broadvision, Websphere, Java, PHP and ASP to develop outsourced projects. The tools used by Arden depend on the outsourcing company, but Arden keeps itself abreast all the good tools in the market. Arden has its offices in Japan, Australia, UK and its development center in India. It is an Asian/ Japanese focused company though it has worked for the European and Australian market. It also has native Japanese and Asian staff working with it. This staffs are the coordinators who coordinate with the Japanese/ Asian companies more efficiently, thus breaking the language barrier. Again because of its high time commitment, quality work and market know-how, most of the outsourced work Arden gets is from Japan and Asia.
